Thrust forth to behold what was promised
Was nothing but a dissolving facade of values and goals
This self immolating, stagnant structure
Disappoints, disenchants as it unfolds
Beset by failure and destitution
The depressive forces of existence are felt
As the sinewy hands of power flex, well provided
The feeble enslaved are pounded into dust
Our only God is media frenzy
The eyes of our God glow green with money
Profit and gain the only motivation
We the people of manic desperation
Death, Slavery and the pursuit ov Sadness
Desolate pain, utter madness
Beleaguered mass of trivial humanity
Carry their chains of opportunity
Death and Slavery!
Sadness!
Lingering putrefaction
Endless weeping, waiting to die
Hungry pits are filled with the
broken bodies of all those who tried
The pursuit ov Sadness only ceases
as Slavery yields to Death
Yields to Death!

Pervasive Emptiness
03:30
|
|||
Omnipresent, debilitating, black void within
A vacuum of nothingness that absorbs all emotion
Expending all energy, killing all light
The absence of everything that sustains life
Pervasive Emptiness
Endless wandering, searching in vain
No fleeting distraction will ever silence this pain
Pervasive Emptiness!

Polar Cortex

Darkness penetrates every ounce of my being
Cold and frozen, chaos locked inside
Emptiness, hollow chasm of despair
Forlorn, destitute as I pass through mortal years
Standing opposed to mankind
Strength from this black, frozen mind
Gaze into this presence, only a semblance of pain
Seething hate crystallized within
Menacing, brooding, unapproachable in my stance
You see the key to pain shines black in my hand
Bloodfrozen, endless rage
Darkened wisdom, born of disdain
Destiny, wizardry, ceremony of existence
Eternity speaks to me, singular as I tread this path
LONE WOLF!
Within this frozen mind
The spirit of darkness resides forevermore
Frostspeak and endless lies
Manipulate those whose weakness defines
Selfish, controlling and vain
Bastard son of personal gain
Corrupt and exploit all the “pure”
Nothing but human stepping stones…
Polar Cortex!
Frozen Mind!
Polar Cortex!
Frozen...
FROZEN MIND!

Dreams of apocalyptic slaughter
Drowning, yet breathing underwater
Raw, unbridled fornication
Rampant tornado devastation
Dreams that haunt the mind
Waking in the night, cold sweat
Overwhelming fright
From these dreams that haunt the mind
Dreams that haunt the mind
Terror in the night, pure dread!
Nightmares redefined
By these dreams that haunt the mind
The mind!
Cockroaches in spider webs
Black widows feast on them
Standing water on the floor
Electrocuting me once more
Lost within these dreams
Askew reality
Nameless, faceless hordes
Torment forevermore
In the dead of night
Jerking awake in fright
Swinging at shadows
Dark figures unhallowed
Self mutilation, the shower’s covered with blood
He’s hacked off his genitals with a razorblade
Laughter echoing the madness of the damned
Insanity locked deep inside, twists my sleeping mind
Pacing in fright, another sleepless night,
Weary I tremble afraid and alone,
Return to my chamber to wrestle this morbid slumber
Lightning strikes endlessly, Tornadoes surround me!!!
Dreams of apocalyptic slaughter
Drowning, yet breathing underwater
Atomic blasts shine on the horizon
Soaring through subconscious environs
Dreams that haunt the mind
Waking in the night, cold sweat
Nightmares redefined
By these dreams that haunt the mind!

I walk among you
04:42

Out of sync with the world
Out of sync with humanity
So far away, withdrawn
Was it always this way?
Pushed too far for so many years
The scars of my mental decay
Sucked deep inside, internal disarray
I walk among you, but am I one of you?
Numb to society, out of place
Waking reality seems so fake
Primal, Animal, Not of your kind...
People seems like objects
Annoying, Trivial, Unreal
So distant, Nothing like you…
Cut throat, Misanthrope
Wanderer, forever to roam...
