Monolithos

memories spread sinewy and pain coagulates
a parasite behind the veil
walls of ice slide in marrow — the flock submits
kneeling before the malformed idol
the last antibodies have faltered, imbalanced on fragmented ground
all that remains are the echoes of sublimity crashing down
the mute void has no horizon
memories spread sinewy and pain coagulates
a parasite behind the veil
walls of ice slide in marrow — the flock submits
kneeling down
we stand by, hesitant,
as the last human remnants
swirl downward into the unknown
in the end, ice takes the place of bone
how long will we maintain the decrepit cult of a spectre impervious to our pleas?
ice takes the place of bone

Breath of Pestilence

traders in flesh
traders in flesh
traitors — hovering constantly
traitors — debased carnalities
haunted by the memory, her dreams are fraught
twisted hands and rotting grins surround her, promising rot
traders in flesh
traders in flesh
traitors — hovering constantly
traitors — debased carnalities
lie in wait
lie — he feeds on her infancy
lie — a perverse pageantry
infest — our famished thoughts
infect — the breath of pestilence
left hollow by his touch, she has but one need
twisted limbs and rotting skin engulf her, now she bleeds

Sunless Dawn
05:03

|

blinded and broken by loss, the flesh stretches thin
across the edges for we are amalgamations
of forgotten dreams and incomplete miseries
failure incarnate, the grand destroyers
the skies above us burn with the memories of those we’ve abandoned
the ephemeral is all we have
all we have returns to dust
your legacy is merely one of regret and remorse
reduced to ash, scattered and forgotten
your absence, a tumor, consumed the stars
spreading through the limbs of existence
the skies above us burn in a sunless dawn eternal
the skies above us burn much like our father’s kingdom
time spent waiting for salvation
from suffering without end
the hubris that it takes to believe this horror
holds some meaning some imagined purpose
beyond simply not being dead
beyond simply not being dead yet
the ephemeral is all we have
all we have returns to dust
the skies above us burn

Witness
05:32
|
|

we are the cancer in the heart of the world
we dream of crimson death eternal
behold a pale horse, a rider, a witness to the fall
behold a prophecy, a promise that hell is better than we deserve
hell is here
starve steal covet corrupt
we find no savior, no hope for this world
we welcome crimson death eternal
behold a pale horse, a rider, a witness to the fall
behold a prophecy, a promise that hell is better than we deserve

Of Flesh and Worship
04:09
|
|

in an anemic glacier they think they found the truth
with their circulation wilted and broken
they kept the beat as the ice had emoted
to stop the cognitive erosion
within frozen blood, the ice at its most ferocious
lies the confluence of flesh and worship
they think they’ve found the truth
we think we’ve found them
you think you found the truth
I think I found you
as the earth vomits blood, its guts on our jaws
the individual experience is a hostile, indifferent existence

Drowned

she dreamt of forever, of her name on the lips of the gods in a world filled with light
she was not an artist, but with one bullet birthed a crimson mural
dripping slowly, a river of blood, teeth, and hair
hands drag her downward, gasping for air
her light fades
a daughter ripped from the void, left adrift in the sea
nameless and abandoned — in the undertow she is free
traumas crash around her like waves
tides draw her into darkness — a welcome grave
she dreamt of forever, of her name on the lips of the gods, of not drowning alone
she was not an artist, but with one bullet birthed a crimson mural
we all drown alone
with the first shot, she made him her masterpiece
and with the second, she signed her name
she signed her name

when night obscures the course of hours, we fear what sleep might exhume
the vessel is but a breathing corpse enshrouded, entombed
my body no longer drifts in the lake of sorrow, but my spirit withers in the absence of light
shackled to the burning earth our bones are charred
my fingers seek the wretched truth my eyes seek the marks of scars
beneath the soil, find not a memory
but a tiresome existence reduced to a carcass
let them spread our ashes together beneath the dying heavens
my body no longer drifts in the lake of sorrow, but my spirit withers in the absence of light
