Deviancy 03:00
I have this desire to brush away the pain Focusing on the anger and understanding this blood lust in my brain has no means to be calm I always act on violence This has only just begun These chains that bound me to reason have been broken off my wrists As I feel the marks left by them I feel the pent-up rage again I look up to see destruction In front of me Committed by these hands These blood-soaked hands My rationale is gone again Commencing my own end This fucking time bomb is ticking away and there is nothing that you can say to change it To sway me from my vision of a total self-annihilation Everything has absolutely no meaning All will wash away as the sand to the sea You are witnessing the fucking fall of me Enveloped in madness Constructed by anger I have this desire

Founded by the Old Blood discovered within the ancient chalices Lead way to the art of Blood ministration A healing art meant for good will, has become the vain hope of humanity One after another, in portions consumed, seemingly bringing miracles until the beasthood ensued And so, began the scourge of the beasts that wiped away the marks of order Now was the time for chaos Amidst the nightmare, hunters rose up with weapons in hand to the combat this horrendous plague Only to be met unpleasant ends by the euphoric powers of the blood Now the night reigns forevermore, guarded by the ancients The great ones, now revealing themselves in glorious splendor The hierarchy, now the target to have this dusk to turn to dawn Will be slain one by one And the ascension shall start

Inferno 02:44
I want release from this hell Its fire and brimstone follows me around Overcast by the smug of desecration The signs of light never breach, it’s only darkness Chaos surrounds my being Always eating at me Dining on my life A pleasant meal for a feast Please end this misery Take apart my heart And redesign it to what I truly am I am filth, I am disease I am my own hell A will to live A will to love A sense of direction All these things I’ve sought Leave me here to rot In this place of flame

Beyond the realm of which the mortal eyes can perceive, lies dominions beyond the known fabrics of infinity Beyond the realm of which the mortal eyes can perceive, lies dominions beyond the known fabrics of infinity Each of them woven into the seams that bind us all as one The mystic, the seamstress, overlooking the natural order of space and time, has now seen a disturbance that creates a destructive ripple unlike that which have been given way to before One that could eradicate everything, wiping clean the canvas of beauty that the universe has created and staining it with the taint of corrupt intention The attack begins Andrew: Bearing and gnashing their teeth, the merciless shadows make their way through the countless settlements upon the numerous worlds, leaving behind the remnants of a wealth of light Basking in the dark aura, the fabrics of essence are tampered with by the Overlord Life is now finite, defined only by the ever-inclosing iniquity cloaked in the cold, lifeless shade

The Grey 04:03
Falling into the grey This is has been my place of habitat for as long as I can recall No other sight is weeter to my eyes than to see my demise Some might try to say this is where I don't belong But the cold and shadow bring me more comfort More times than the sunlight Complancey is what I call my home This is where I belong Nothing is left for me Everything I ever had known is gone Destroyed by my longings to fill this abysmal void with some sort of emotion to relay something to make me feel less numb back and forth back and forth i wonder whats me going on back and forth back and forth I try to remember what made me want to be gone With the wind gone with wind oh how i cherish the grey It fufills my longings For a sense of peace I have seldom known I desire nothing less Than to be left here In a place left to waste Just to waste away
