Invite the host shadow into your life
Submit to its whim, weak slave
Destroy the ties with those that you love
Only one, hollow and grave
Carry the weight to the end of your days
Cower young lamb and obey
Give of yourself, repress your spirit
Down in that hole you stay
Feed the darkness that holds you clenched
Submit to its whim, weak slave
Remain here in this vulnerable wallow
Only one, hollow and grave
Forever find new depths to bury it all
Cower young lamb and obey
Delve deeper inside to desensitise
Down in that hole you stay

And so the child must die
To mark an age of suffering
Embrace these senses
Begin to feel again
Go in to the woods
Deep inside deprive
Out of the depths
Three beggars arrive
Inescapable agony
Finding no relief
Submit to the torment
Seek solace in this grief
Remote isolation
Distress and pain
Embrace the fear
Chaos Reigns
Wake every day
In realisation
You are nothing
Accept the sensation
Soon to pass
Sooner forgotten
Loss of hope
Grief is existence
Pain and suffering forever
Imagine it

Morning mist breaks
As a new day is born
Cacophony of birds
Rustling of a fawn
Awaken to the chorus
Pack, stretch, and yawn
Chilled lungs
Hides for warmth are worn
Extinguish the campās light
And ride out at dawn
Travellers from the wilds
Journey on
Into narrow glacial ravines
Howling gusts that lash
Frost shards shred the skin
Through pain and stripped flesh
Press on to snow peaked tops
Lightning strikes the virgin snow
Barrage of hail showers down
These boots they weigh and drag
Thickly bound as snow stuck
Tight winds whip the surface
Strain to fight the drag
These eyes they well with pressure
As night draws nearer
Push to the woods for shelter
Torches ablaze at armās length
A glow illuminates the forest floor
Tension in the atmosphere
The group halted in their tracks
To the sound of a low growl
Silhouettes across the tree line
Torch thrust embers flare
Kindle crackle met with snarl
Wall of matted grey fur
Bite bore and aggressive stance
A lone figure
As light begins to wane
Commander of wolves
Lord ruler of this domain
Moving through the brush
Against the elemental grain
In to that barren landscape
Skies blacken, sleet, and rain

The Machine
It fills me with absolute dread
The dim glow of television sets
Soaking the road at night
It fucks with my high basking
under the street light
Juvenile infantile out of the gene pool
Burning cells with this white noise nonsense
Turn off instead of wasting your life
Expanding minds with friends and the good times
You are a program
You are governed
Slave to that rancid spit
Fluorescent food is nothing but plastic
Engineered to trigger endorphins
Crave and shake in the thralls of withdrawal
Exhausted by nine to five
All that is easy rapes you in this
Day walking state of perpetual consumption
Opt out and submit to your base conditioning
Fuck with the pressure and see it all clearly
Disenfranchised from this humanity
End our bloodline and under rule
Self sacrifice, exile from this gene pool
Eradication of the plague
That is human life
Start the machine
End this race
Consider this merciful
Devoid of consciousness
Euthanize the people
End of times
Through the void
Alone
To never belong

Abandon
This husk
Withered shell
Rotting canvas
Invite the host shadow into your life
Submit to its whim, weak slave
Destroy the ties with those that you love
Only one, hollow and grave
Carry the weight to the end of your days
Cower young lamb and obey
Give of yourself, repress your spirit
Down in that hole you stay
Constricted
Choked and bound
Chew and gnash
Organs ground
Scales writhe
To the sound
Relentless, fierce
Mandible grip and pierce
Corpse marionettes
Blackened lung
This nightmare coma
Venom and stung
Dark form slithers
Fanged tooth, forked tongue
Undergrowth beneath
Glimpse the needled teeth
Abandon this husk
Feed the darkness that holds you clenched
Submit to its whim, weak slave
Remain here in this vulnerable wallow
Only one, hollow and grave
Forever find new depths to bury it all
Cower young lamb and obey
Delve deeper inside to desensitise
Down in that hole you stay

Rebirth

Lives they travel through our vessels as we expire
Into others, new born chapters of the soul
We go seeking through the masses just to find
Common purpose, degrees of familiarity
Wise whole soul growing old
With one ticket for control Iāve been told itās just a ride
Pay the toll when weāre still and cold
Light will dim down to darkness in your final hour
Pass the torch to a virgin bearer young and new
As a phoenix from the ashes a flame ignites
So the cycle of mortality continues
In conception material will build and grow
Form a marriage of innocence and wisdom
Life is finite yet we are eternal
Refreshed and ready, empowered by this new host
