Heavy for the Hollers

Dark dominion Not a speck of light in sight Feverish and fatigued I walk Searching for that glimmer of hope Am I destined to find that which I seek? I follow the path laid out in front of me I follow To who am I so bound? Where is this free will that eludes me now? To who am I so bound? Where is my free will? It eludes me now Blinded ever still I attempt to claw my way out of this dark abyss The precocious arcane knowledge that I possess feels drained And alien to me now Soon enough I will find you I gather strength and release a flash of light Revealing the soul of the darkness It shows the way and a figure stands before me All along you were present within me Ages ago you vanished Uncertainty, confusion, hatred, relief You shall not escape again Staring down at torment itself I reveal all that plagued my soul My hatred resurfaces A sinister wave of energy emits from me Haunting memories, I shall not back down, I unleash Here you found your final resting place

What solace have I in idols and thieves? Built to the heavens but founded in grief As all effigies, the likeness is unclear Like faded tapestries, woven in guilt and fear Will I never learn? My place is alone Every shrine, every hope, every home must burn And I'll finally be at peace A fleeting grasp at self imposed solitude The slipping mask of old social platitudes No fear of failure, only the bloom and decay At the core of my soul, through the cracks in my bones I will not submit to this This loss of trust All the scorn and deceit Helplessly screaming Of impending defeat Ravage my body Poison my mind Every wound you inflict Will be repaid in kind

The body appears without reply. Hegemonic integration we harmonize into meaningless impotence Renounce your aberrations Renounce your aberrations obedience to the blur of time obedience in the time of blur The body It yammers to us. Everyone a cellular member of a screeching tongue Howling with no directive a decoy a false consciousness

The geometry of cages slowly erected in stages. Internal dread, creates walking dead as we suffer through life for wages. The unobstructed sky taunts us with thoughts of freedom as we dredge through this labyrinth of stone. This maze is a cage that keeps us enslaved, sedated and alone. The walls around us became as natural as the trees, therefore we did not mourn their passing or even miss their leaves. They built walls for our bodies, walls for our thoughts. They demonize our instincts to enforce what they’ve taught. How can I feel in this cage of concrete and steel? Nothing is real in these tombs of concrete and steel. Streets devoid of life lead to places devoid of meaning. Coffins equipped with windows keep us transfixed on lies. No wall is as tall as the one they have built in our minds. Born into prison, this prison is ours. Born into prison, we decorate the bars. We make the incision, we learn to love the scars We make the decision, that’s been sewn into our hearts. A coming storm rages. As we realize all they’ve built for us are cages.

Time and time again An utter loss for words My feet they seem to move But momentum can't carry on A path so dark No light could shine the way The strings that pull Become the chains that shackle me Invert, reject, deny No sound, not a voice to be heard She doesn't get to speak Heads hung lower than ever before Close the door, turn off the light I refuse this way of life And the farce that it's become If this is what is expected of me I'll live my life to disobey Invert, reject, deny I will never bend a knee I will always defy Life is a cheap excuse for this charade twist the dagger to the right, exquisite pain What she feels is irrelevant, it's your control Tighten your grip It's not lives lost, it's lives not lived under the boot Of righteous guilt Please deliver us from your followers Please deliver us from the followers of your name

Violent action to somber reason. Sorrowful acceptance bound to punishment. Enormous timber lay dormant. Shuddering through the shadows. A fury of nature and hatred. A wretched wandering vengeance. Descend, where sun turned to darkness, twilight wraps all things in shadow. Enormous timber lay dormant shuddering through the shadows. A fury of nature and hatred. A wretched wandering vengeance. Such disparity devises ways to do wrong. Cavernous horrified civilizations. Monstrous forms of life, cruel and unnerved. Lamentation, your only word. The reverence of flesh undisputed thirsting for winter’s embrace. Cold winds heartbroken visage searching for life in the moor.

Empty shades of white. Nothing left, but the starkest of light. Life we hoped to see. Tried so hard, but it just can't be. I've been waiting all this time, for something I can't see. For something I can't hear. For something to believe. But now I know, it's best if I find my own way. Perhaps there was hope, but I just can not wait for that day, Nothing left to say. They'll feign care, but there's no way. That they ever knew, what it was we tried to do. Now I (now I) I find (I find) nothing, where something once stood. That we thought we'd see standing, long after we would. I've been waiting all this time, for something I can't see. For something I can't hear. For something to believe. But now I know, it's best if I find my own way. Perhaps there was hope, but I just can not wait for that day.

We’ve marred your face Set your ocean ablaze We’ve torn through your skies Bathed in acid rain We’re liars, cheaters, stealers, killers A reign of ruin We’ve come to grief Beyond a shadow of doubt The source has always been greed Colonized by thieves Subsidized with blood Ignorant beliefs That you belong tro us For hope of salvation You must be returned To the rightful keepers Or extinction has been welcomed

Shown a path Told the way Single truth Soul decay Loyalty At a cost Walk the path Find you're lost Lift your hands Towards the heavens Try to grasp A falling star Watch your world Cave around you Pray your faith Will sustain Repent, repent Find hope in the void Repent, repent Find peace in the void

I awoke cold and alone, Adrift in æther on a slab of stone. I beg for answers, bent on haggard knees. And in the barren breeze they speak to me. In the darkness I can finally see The formless shapes of arcane entities. They whisper secrets of the ages past. They move around me just beyond my grasp. Void ritual. I cry for help and I get no reply. My voice is swallowed by the poisoned sky. I feel reality slip away With every evil word I hear them say. In terror now, my mind destroyed, I cry for mercy from the nameless void. I summoned power beyond my control. It left me twisted with a crippled soul. Void ritual.

Too young to understand Too vulnerable to understand The fortress built around my innocence Much too weak and much too unprotected It crumbled into dust Light fell down into my hands Can't shake the feeling on my skin As I lay on this floor next to you Surrounded in disorder Your selfish lust leaves an everlasting burden upon me I yearn for the feeling I once felt I felt wanted I felt desired I knew no better I just wanted to be seen

Agony, loss, harm. Creeping in past the alarm. So much horror. So much death. On countless nights I have taken my last breath. Intruder! The deepest caverns of my mind unwind. Through shattered mirrors i see myself from behind. Cut from a blade from my own sheath. The enemy lies beneath. Bound by trauma, A somber figure of disdain, a black diamond that shines in the night. Wake in fright, living in vein. Intruder! Thoughts from within, breaking the skin. My body can no longer carry this weight. Nightmares begin, who let you in? My mind can no longer endure this pain. Intruder!

I’ve given sight to the world Their scales fell one by one Now the deaf can finally hear me And the mute speak my name No mysteries remain to me I see near and far I am the spirit I am the demon I see everything I see you I am the spirit which Only you can see I am the spirit which Only you can see I am the shaking in the trees And the stillness in the night I am beyond the horizon You've heard me in the stories Most word was true But know me by the sight And voice and sound I gave to the world Sometimes witch, sometimes animal See me in the fire Hear me when the waves break Hear me when the waves break The most sacred of your books Won't keep you Rite and ritual Have lost their magic You don that mantle now There's neither dance nor song To make you safe again Safe again Their scales fell one by one Now the deaf can finally hear me And the mute speak my name No mysteries remain to me I see near and far

Frozen within the fire, burning in the ice Dwelling inside the fear, madness in the night Testament of mayhem, damned by the angel Bewitched by bedlam, seduced by the devil Blackened is the soul, born as a nightmare Corrupted by death, see the ghastly glare Piercing through silence, doomed to be insane The horror of darkness, has began its reign Skeletal omens of eternal demons Reaping the minds of all mankind We lust for blood we have succumbed To the dying gods and flames of chaos Consuming your life, giving birth to death Destroying your mind and stealing your breath The minds start to rot, we're running out of time Falling from grace with the void in our eyes Corpses join the war never see their own soul Feasting upon the rage that made them ghouls Possessed by the crimson, ordered to bleed In the end we have lost, with no more to see

An ancient seal, designed to repeal Primordial wager, to sacrifice for nature Veiled from humanity, preserved by sacred wings In the cave of Kira, before they knew what fear was Hatching a new plan, in Servym's lab Neutered test subjects, without mana To break the bond, quiet disrepair Beyond his vision, a force of vigor Illusion or reality? Must deny nature's mockery Destroy the artifact, without a hostile act? We'll create a fleet, to scour the planes Rebuild, shape anew, mothfolk imbued I will change their ways, I can trick their life's code For my legacy, grand lobotomy Become my subjects, a network republic We'll pervade remaining species How can we co-exist now? Your effigies, your autocracy The lives you take, the lies you create We've helped too much, we've lost enough Turbulence arise Shattering labs in the skies Behold nature's answer to the problem of your society Sacrifice You take our wilds, we crash your ships You abused our magic, the final request Galactic pests Merely a test I am the simplifier, the root that drags all artifice to earth

For now We're alive But time was never on our side And nothing seems to stay eternal We're setting sail To somewhere we cannot exist A singularity And in this lightless well A swirling sea of shadows And this high-G burn Isn't fast enough To escape it Heading for a storm An otherworldly calm takes hold And every final second matters And I wanted you to know The moment I let go of these controls I hail you with a hand upon my heart On wings that soar into the unknown To know And when the void inhales The soul will let go (and be swept away) Swept into the golden ring Where the dying light becomes A million times more blinding Now there's no turning back We're on a one-way mission To the heart of this event horizon With nothing left but to surrender We're on a one-way journey To the eye of this galactic center Crossing the boundary condition A universal transition

Sunrise on my love Fill your cup Dawn light in my eyes So bright it shines Do as you're told I'll take control I'll eat your heart and soul And you'll take what you can get Someone drank you up And threw the cup And you saw that my bowl Could fill us both Do as you're told I'll take control I'll eat your heart and soul And you'll take what you can get One day you'll get your fill As someone's swill Honey from their lips Will be your bliss Do as you're told I'll take control I'll eat your heart and soul And you'll take what you can get And you'll tip the bowl I'll take control I'll eat your heart and soul And you'll, you'll tip the bowl

I can feel your presence It persists every night Ive dug deep in the crevice and It claws at my sight Dont lie Just let it out Please just Give a Lie These city lights Theyve never seemed so bright Im tired of All the fights These city lights Theyve never seemed so bright Just let me fly In these city lights And let me cry The voices wont drown out I feel that this Is going south And let me sigh The voices wont drown out Just let me fly In these city lights I feel like i am slipping I seem to feel it all the time I think that i am hiding I fear it all the time | and im Not fine And I swear That Im fine Im slipping Im fading Its tearing waning me away I must deny these butterflys so i can go out and see

Above me the stars weep blood Below me the ground shifts like water In the house of the daemon I am free Reality like wet clay in sculptors hands The veil falls away, and horror comes alive I have sacrificed myself to the dreaming gods And their servants come to embrace me In madness, the seed of death's womb Oh! The veil seethes, the world churns I feel myself falling Transfiguration between worlds and dimensions In the house of the daemon I am free In the house of the daemon I am consumed

Ruins Ruins around Ashes Ashes to ground Homes Gone Families Gone All gone now No sun Just bombs No light Just war Ruins

I found out about your God and what he does I hope you burn in hell I know all about the children you defiled I hope you burn in hell You wanted money, wanted power Gave nothing but the root of misery I hope you burn in hell For every single missile fired on every single home I hope you burn in hell For all the dead whose flesh hangs from the ruined walls I hope you burn in hell Another word for treachery is compromise Until it’s those you both despise Then for you it’s all done in the name of business Justice natural as prejudice I hope you burn in hell For all the workers left behind in flooding factories I hope you burn in hell For them who sheltered first but to be fired on the second day You’ll burn in hell There’s nothing you can say to turn my heart your way I want to drag you down myself And hold your head into the fire with all the joy a soul can feel Oh… I hope you burn in hell For all the nothin you have done to help the generations on I hope you burn in hell And when your bloody arc of horror gets made over as a movie Well, you’ll burn in hell Skin scorched black and featureless You and your fucking mirrors You want the land, you want the oil And no-one meets your standard of a worthy life I hope you burn in hell I’ll drag you down myself I hope you burn in hell

Behold the faint glowing stones there in the graveyard Their cold devouring light draws me in closer deeper into night The black field of death begs me to enter They lie there in ruins in constant decay Void of Life In the cover of the years longest night I will creep amongst the graves I will defile years of trust Underneath the earth Chills run through my body as I’m led every step of the way In certain clarity I have found the devouring light In the shadows of the tomb I recite the words Crouched within the circle Guided by the moon Enshrouded by the darkness of night Osiris Lord of the dead Grant me your wisdom Through communion with the dead Here within the open grave Pit of the entombed This hole of dust and emptiness Lost in decay There lies a pile of death a silent totem of bone Lain upon a throne of dirt in a palace of mold I hold the skull within my hands and I stare into the gaze of a corpse See only truth in its eyes and in this moment I feel alone Called to enter and here I have learned It is here that I’ve found myself Here within this tomb

Restructure Rebuild Rife devastation, wrought upon this land Rebuild, restructure, we must build again Perseverance Nature Grant us mercy We who inhabit Your realm All hail The great mothers realm Hear our plea For clemency Rebuild, restructure All hail the great mothers realm

Can't tell What's real Hands held Heart's yield A numbed gaze An empty spell With no way To be healed Can't tell What's real... Nova ablaze but ever distant Comet, glowing deep into the night Leading me somewhere uncertain I'd sooner be led to flame Than go nowhere at all Your flame kept treasured in the heavens Nova ablaze but ever distant Guide fixed and ever-present You were like summer in which you took your immolation My fire-kissed lover May your light and your warmth Keep me lucid May your light and your warmth Keep me here All of the tears of all of the gods Flooding their creations to ruin But could never extinguish you Fixation untethering experience Burn your touch onto my flesh Snap me out of my head I was the quivering in your lips Eyes to mouth, a final kiss "I will see you again" Cling tightly to time spent

Silence and doom In the realm of Gaolath Fire and ashes In the realm of Gaolath The passage is clear And the forest is silent A Towering fortress As still as the night

Rejected by the sun's light doomed to twilit oblivion the river flows down into the soil a crimson expression from my soul a cursed family. birthed a runt and here i remain, amongst the willows imprisoned in exhaustion, I transcend pain I burn away in acceptance. The future ignorant to my name. I die nothing Shadows through the trees lay lifelessly across this stone mask of isolation I sleep. Not fit to be a memory
