As blood flows from my veins, begin my transcendence through pain
Releasing myself from mortal chains
becoming more than a corporeal stain
I lash at the tethers that bind, this fleshly cage, imprisoning my mind
To this reality I am confined, slowly altering the grand design
Through pain I exist
Useless to resist
My bloodletting persists
Till I embrace darkness
I release my self
From this grave I delve
With every incision
I am closer to excision
This pain is divine
Freedom almost mine
with every bloodline
I alter this design
I am beyond this domain, Transcendence through pain
A higher state to attain
beyond the limits of the sane
I can taste my sweet release, soon this body shall be deceased
Freedom stained in sweet cerise, yet I exist in utter caprice
Beyond the grave
Through blood we lave
From mortally enslaved
to immortally enclaved
Relief abstain
Sensation must retain
True self you will obtain
Transcendence through pain

Symbiotic

Deep within the recesses of your mind
Beyond the wall of unconsciousness
A seed planted with knowledge....beyond our own
Proliferating your being with information unseen to us
An imagined voice controlling within our heads
Our thoughts not our own
Perceptions overthrown
Losing our inner self
Symbiotic parasite
I am losing myself, meet the new me, borne of ancient design
Darkness completely, Dead and gone
Deep within the recesses of your mind
Beyond the wall of unconsciousness
Your soul trapped for all time...only to observe
Controlling your being, Atrocities committed, horrifying to us
Lost your voice in a body no longer your own
Stare through eyes, not my own
Forced to watch, Life unfold
Acts of violence, committed by my hand
Accountability now lost, body beyond my control
Imprisoned within my mind
Lost within
Ancient symbiotic design
In control....

The Circle Of The Art
04:32
|
|||
|
Creating the circle of the art
Drawing upon the coiled serpent
Which bares the names of Sepheroth
Encompassed by the four elements
Take the knife consecrated
Call upon the four quarters
Summon forth the demon spirit
The guardian of the gates beyond
This is the art of Theurgy
Manipulations of the three planes
Controlling the manifestation
My will the guardian awaits
His service comes with a price, nothing is free
A sacrifice of blood, an offering of Life
Bound by blood
open the gates beyond mortality
Move beyond time
Our legacy was lost in time beyond time
Stay within the circle
The demon bound will devour
protected by a seal in blood
embued with the names of God
Fear the guardians cunning
breaking the circle breaks the pact
Your eternal torment will be it's pleasure
Lost to the gates beyond

Alkahest
04:41
|
|||
|
It is my life long quest
The grail of the Alchemist
A god like chemical compound
Creating atomic breakdown
Devised in liquid form
Destructive structure storm
melts through DNA
Destabilizing instantly
A gift was given to early man from the Gods
Lost through the aeons, a cycle of regression
An ancient secret that holds the key
To understand molecular unstability
is to transmogrophy divinity
What was once known shall be rediscovered
It is forbidden the risk so great
I shall recreate the alkahest
Combine ancient alchemy with modern bio chemistry
Rearrange Helix registry and create my legacy
I will not relent until I reach the advent
Creation of liquid augment
radical transformation under went
Creation through my torment
Universal solvent
DNA to re invent
Water which does not wash hands
Decanting the hidden sands
Splicing between the strands
blending the chemical bands
A perfect salt, prepared and blessed
To create the Alkahest
A gift was given to early man from the Gods
Lost through time a cycle of regression
An ancient secret that holds the keys
To understand atomic fragility
And to transmogrophy divinity
What was Known, shall be again
My life the risk, I will manifest
and recreate the ALKAHEST

Prey For Indoctrination
04:09
|
|||
|
From the moment we are born, lies we are force fed
Perpetuating their belief, the cycle of indoctrination
hosting a religious infestation
Disadvantaged from the start, hope eclipsing the reality
That all life will end
Obscuring the truth of morality, that our soul exists indefinetly
This sect of humanity, refusing to except their fate
Ruled by their own fear
They sell a lie to perpetuate, a false hope to congregate
Life eternal after death, accept the fairytale holy breath
In the name of freedom
Upon the young they force their lie,of damnation after you die
Disbelief with consequence, questioning the base of faith
Why should you believe?
Ancient stories written by man, claiming to be his divine plan
There was a time when this was needed
when man was savage, primitive and greedy
but through the passing of time
man evolved through adolescence
realized our choices have consequences
Now this fable is given power
The word is law, unmutable
Prey for indoctrination
Through fear we all bow our heads
With ignorance we've made our beds
This is the path at it's end
This vicious cycle of power
Those accepted and devout
and the expendable and unworthy
One life span is but a drop in the bucket of time
A drop is all we're given along our path which we climb
A young mind is not prepared for perspective needed to apply
From creation to apocalypse as his plan defines
Live your life vicariously, through fictional history and allegories
Subject to persecution
Piety now your restriction, a badge to show your conviction
Increasing your devotion,by losing certain perverse emotions
No room for pride
Self worth now confiscated, confidence devistated
Instilling a large sense of guilt
shaping young minds to fit their mold
Individuality bought and sold
Creating a nation of drones, ignorant but devout clones
Drowning in stupidity
Bereft of weather we live or die, as long as we perpetuate the lie
Our lives are short, to survive we must resort
Pray to end indoctrination
To remove the religious powers that be, and set our population free
This reign of fear must come to an end
restricting our minds with dogma to defend
An end to indoctrination
Realizing the truth,and time is NOW

The emptiness between the stars
A welcome void without light
Nothingness to heal my scars
A plague of existance beyond sight
The cold consumes all life
Slowing time to a crawl
No more bitter strife
Return to black, nothing all
From the dust which we came
Life is born to decay
A cycle ends to repeat the same
Experience the only gain
Longing for the infinite cold
breaking down my mental bars
a timely return to the old
the emptiness between the stars
Timelessness, forever awaits
Cold nothingness, It is fate
Beyond the black, heed the call
No coming back, sacrificing all
Searching this vast sea
Questing for the key
A portal or gateway, beyond this mortal fade
I seek the old land
a plane beyond man
refuge to the old gods and secrets untold
The emptiness between the stars
A path hidden beyond sight
Nothingness to cleanse my soul
Existing as a part of night
Drifting off to infinity
Time slows to a crawl
Searching for the deity
in emptiness and nothing at all
Returning dust to the stars
an offering of mortal pain
Shedding all my dogmatic scars
to embrace the insane
Beyond all time and space
the guardian still exists today
guided by the ancient race
The emptiness between the stars

From the farthest reaches of space and time,beyond the abyss and void of madness, They have awakened...The old ones return after aeons of slumber. Devouring everything in their wake. Bending reality to their will
A plague madness erupts worldwide. None shall be spared, everything shall be consumed...Everything
