Earth's Mantle

Fog gathering
Descending upon thee
Cavernous rock
Juts out interrupting
Passage of the morning dew
Leaching in and sweating out
Brow of the earth tired
Underground
Lakes of Fire
Bubbling
In the ancient fester
Undiscovered
Chasms of
Titanic Stone
Splitting apart
Striated with Time
Underground
Lakes of Fire
Bubbling
In the ancient fester
Time eroding and ending grace
Into the Swallowing Depths below
Gaseous oceans, sterile aura
Decaying into disparate forms
Fauna fuses all of assimilation
Exhumed from the earth
All encompassed, the cycle ends
Returning again to stillness

Onward
03:46
|
|
||
Devouring
The gaping beast's mouth
Flooded
The hall of endless trials
Your way
Will be filled with doubt
Do not let
The madness take hold
And yet you press
Onward through death
Searching for
Purpose in life
Life
Let it be no trial
Death
Let it be no burden
Foolish man,
You're not prepared
For what lays ahead
You're not prepared!

Husk of a Man
07:47
|
|
||
A hawk in flight with prey
While limbs and bodies lay
I let the fire slip away
The ember's lost as I am
I try to plot the course
Nothing comes, direction seems so hard to find
In the night, the spirit
Comes to me to chase the light that slips away
Summoned
Into this world
Flashing white
Cry out
Into the night
No one hears you
Stone eyes look in ruin
An old man grips his son
The fading heat from yesterday
Whose lives were used to pay
The final path to take, the ride across the lake
Last embrace of earthly life
Hollow eyes and pale flesh
The smell of death consumes me
Enter the chasm once more
Trapped to never leave again
Tumultuous rain discharges from above me
Leaves my body swollen and bruised
I’ve awoken to feed and feast again
On the rubble of tattered visions you’ve left behind
Yet you strive
And yet you strive
To find meaning
Suffering pale
Husk of a man
Fight against your death

In Exile
12:55
|
|
||
Turning of the Tides
Brought me here
I must remain In Exile
Into the Storm wind carries
To the place where I
Knew the Soil
Born into a world with no
Intimate touch, tenderness
With no out
Summon the Will
Swaths of blood, rising from
My cave is a womb of pain
Far from here
Cry of an eagle
Coming to
Gasp for Breath
Rising from my shell
Awakened again
Into the Mist
The world coming into view
Follow the path I've seen in dreams
Leads me to ruptured earth lies before me
Enter the mist, set aside
Peering unto the Vista
All before me in ruins
Notions of your security
Time will break you
Into pieces
Trials lay before me
I am not prepared
Just as I thought
You Weak Man
Hopeless, alone
Crying out for help
Fear is weakness
Shelter me from decay - protect me from the dark
Sanity, sanity lights the fire
Time will break you
I won’t be fractured
Into pieces
This won’t be my end

Pillars of Time
07:04
|
|
||
Born Alone
Of blood and cave
Feeds on the dreams of man
The raven picks from what it kills
Sifting through your thoughts
Scavenger informs the sun
Pillars of time rise in the arid sea
There will be no, no reprieve
Arise serpents
From the fallow to the mating ground
The fertile seed of the war machine
The useless husk of ancient apathy
A careful shell whose frail bones bend no more
Pillars of time rise in the arid sea
There will be no, no reprieve
From the blistering rain
My skin peels
Leaving charred bones
Walking through the final door
Relive the past
To feel your heat
Once again
I ascend
Ravenous
Seeking life to consume

Swallowing Depths
06:49
|
|
||
Forced through the cracks
Malformed creation
Strains to unbind
Wretched and unwanted
Rays of gold
Stream down
A silver tongue
Leads the way
Damp cold walls
Fluid seeps through
From deep within
Echoes of gnashing teeth
No one guards the empty throne
Powerless, vacant halls
The prism refracts and separates
The streams of conscious thought
Towards the crumbling facade
Until all is wiped clean
Emerging from diffraction
Into wavelength dispersing
Parting clouds revealing
Primeval monolith
Erected as the setting sun
Erases my body
An ever collapsing galaxy
Consumes till nothing’s left

Resting Place
07:41
|
|

Sun beams lay
On the still water
Shining black, mouth of the cave
I washed ashore
Returned from where we came
Alone and naked into blackness
Floating on the surface,
Reflects the pale flesh and lifeless eyes
Expanding in the sun
Fetid aromas, encrusted brine
My body lies cold and still
Upon the gray sand of the shore
The mirror-like water
Reflects my memory
Returned from where we came
I’ll float forever in this bog
Never to pass on
Trapped by ancient walls
Enslaved by my own crimes
The sun is gone
The mirror cracked
I’ll die alone
Don't pity my fate
Calling me
The sound of
The void
