Atomic Tectonics

Thud,
The fading heartbeat of a dying whale
A sound that chases sleep forever
Deep into the stomach of the waves
That cradle a titan in its rest
A calming veil that guides it from the flesh of existence
Fathoms of night sweeping into closing eyelids
A final rush of blood runs through abandoned veins
In silence
Atomic tectonics
A final repose
Carbonic reclamation
Respiration slows
Devoured
Digested
And reconstituted
Jawless necks which resurrect the future
When something colossal dies
The presence it leaves behind
Resounds in the echoes of the dust of the depths
Of the world it lived inside
The worms that find their purpose
In the bones of the dead
Who build skeletal cities
Continuing the thread
Atomic ghosts
That shimmer in the dark
The echo of existence
As the fragments drift apart
Forever
Atomic tectonics
A final repose
Carbonic reformation
Respiration slows
Reborn in leeches
A continuum
A root that springs in tangled strings
Of equilibrium
When something colossal dies
The presence it leaves behind
Resounds in the echoes of the dust of the depths
Of the world it lived inside
Our movements when in life
Merge with wider tides
In death we live within those things
In whom our bones reside
In life

Idiot Tyrant
05:12
|
|||
Onward black forever
A lifeless surge
Of servants to the urge
A river of limbs with one purpose
Thralls to success, a vapid gnawing insect
Ichneumanity arise and build your nest
Seductive sedition
Seeps from a swollen queen
Spawns a vermin sea with
Souls on which to feed
Willing fodder for an endless greed
Dark tendrils, insectoid
Swell in the vast ego void
Slaves, vacant
Idiot tyrant, suffer
A global trade in servitude, they're gladly sold
Kissing hands of power that they someday wish to hold
Like victory is found being the teller not the told
Like worth is estimated in the currency of souls
Voracious, hypnotic
Brain dead and flesh robotic
This is desire
Ichneumon race, ascent to domination
Defective apes will be replaced
The weighted stone of want
Is hurled at the face of god
Deformed by its brunt
Idiot tyrant
At the frozen summit of his influence and wealth
The lengthened pulse surrenders
To the crawling ice no heat will ever melt
Every breath a falling tide
Which pulls him further from himself
The king can find no prophet
When the final deal is dealt
Voracious
Hypnotic
Tyrant
They beg with hands
Grasping and clutching
Fingers wrench at hands
That give them nothing
They eat themselves
The silence of a god they've never met
A tombstone sky stretching forever overhead
Voracious, hypnotic
Brain dead and flesh robotic
The virus swells
Ichneumon race, ascent to domination
Defective apes will be replaced
The weighted stone of want
Is hurled at the face of god
Deformed by its brunt
Idiot tyrant
Cower in fear
Vermin under the wings of a serpent
Glistening crystal veneer
Appeasing the throes of his servants
Idiot tyrant
Every life is spent
Idiot tyrant
All life is an expense
All life is expense

Kill The Brain
06:11
|

Exiled
No semblance of humanity
On this wasteland
Clinging to our sanity
Cast out
We hang by a thread
Running through mountains of heads
Malevolent menace
Hell-bent entity
Cerebral remorseless enemy
Sever the nerve for we refuse to serve
Under this rule of pain
We must…
Kill the brain
And end its merciless reign
We must
Kill the brain
Or be souls to obtain
A splatter of grey matter
The monster writhes in pain
A prisoner of its fury
It perishes in flames
Kill the brain
When your eyes roll back into the head
The tentacle enters the skull
Sucking out the information
Only leaving desiccation
Until the vast memory is full
Beamed down
Homicidal hemisphere
Infiltrates the atmosphere
Invading
Sadistic mind
Sole objective: enslave mankind
Twisted
Tentacled terror
Total neuronic abduction
Pulsing, electric
A weapon of mental destruction
Malevolent menace
Hell-bent entity
Cerebral remorseless enemy
Sever the nerve for we refuse to serve
Under this rule of pain
We will…
Kill the brain
And end its merciless reign
We will
Kill the brain
Or be souls to obtain
A splatter of grey matter
The monster writhes in pain
A prisoner of its fury
It perishes in flames
Kill the brain
Captive and paralysed
Their master from the skies
Fortress of oppression
Retaliation, maniacal aggression
Strike it down
Kill the brain
End its life
Kill
Kill the brain
We end this hellish reign
Kill the brain
The planet is reclaimed
Cortex: exterminated
The monster has been slain
Target: terminated
We live free again
Kill the brain

Beating your chest because you beat the rest
Those who oppose are zero
Nothing enshrined behind the eyes
Feeding the ravenous ego
When the curtains fall and we exit the stalls
What will become of the hero
Does vanity endure, hiding the flaws
In the dominion of Nero?
Vultures only love you
When you're dead
They'll cut out your heart
And mount your head
Genetic religion
The gaping void of the human condition
Kneel with the weak at the throne of fiction
Fucking kneel
Thoughtopsy
Watching your back for the phantom attack
Behind all the smiles lie the fangs of the pack
You don't own your position
Demise is imminent
Reach out a hand
They tear it off at the ligament
At the end of the day when it's all stripped away
And you sit on the throne of your empire
All you survey, a vision in grey
A cackling vaudeville satire
Vultures only love you
When you're dead
They'll cut out your heart
And mount your head
Starvation of the mind
Monoxide of the heart
Coma of the soul
Starvation of the mind
Monoxide of the heart
Coma of the soul
No way out
Genetic religion
The gaping void of the human condition
Kneel with the weak at the throne of fiction
Fucking kneel
Thoughtopsy

Sanity Vacuum

Arterial rivers
Carving a mountain of flesh
The peak, a jar of hollowing winds
And the underview effect
What vantage does vision afford us
If sky is a cavern of depth
And desert surrounds
Seized by a drowning gush of shrieking insects?
Wretch, writhe
The amniotic tear bore a vision of flies
Wretch, writhe
In ever shortening circles life survives
Tightening spirals of order
Life survives
A swarm of cells
Fractal splinters
Gouged from a mass of adjacent shells
Order
Harmonic lunacy
Surfaces out from the swell of...
Life
Rebuilding, reforming
Life
Procession to the final dark
The truth is hell is real
And it's frozen, still and private
A neutral abscess
Leaking from the space behind the eyelids
Indifferent glow, unbroken snow
Feeds the crawl of a glacial torrent
A gentle maddening press
That forges a strangled root of torment
Life survives
A swarm of cells
Fractal splinters
Gouged from a mass of adjacent shells
Order
Harmonic lunacy
Surfaces out from the swell of...
Life
Rebuilding, reforming
Life
Procession to the final dark
Even the path to self destruction
Can light the way back home
The vein that winds through woods
So dark and deep can lead to Rome
In the end we all chose one
Love or fear, the choice that forms us all
We all chose one
They are the words
We write on the same wall
Progression
Unending arc
Procession
The final dark
