Labyrinth of Hungry Ghosts

He who sought to hold the sword of clarity before he was cleansed Trapped in the center of the morphing labyrinth A heart impure lusting for power now Entombed and buried In a sarcophagus of hate, rage, and confusion Eater of fear, the progenitor of demon hoards Deceiver of himself For his form was merely a cage Cast in the fire of hate and fear Beyond the gates of amnesia In a maze of infinite corridors Shifting their shape Cyrix еnters knowing the blade hе carries Carving the flesh of the dead The walls seem to move on their own Out they crawl, the hoards of living dissolution Cyrix sees the pain in their eyes so he slays them and leaves them to rest Enter the dark realms That which is in the heavens also lies within the earth Let the light of courage be your lantern A gleaming paradox seated on the throne of worth Phobius lurches forth to assail the light and it's open form In the center of the maze there was the king of fear and pain His only language is to maim Raising the blade of light and truth Freeing the one enslaved from his aeonic curse

They were all made of glass Entranced in their self indulgence Distorted figures bent backwards to please their masters A cesspool of Silver-tongues Fake poets of illusions drunk on their poisons Reprogrammed into confusion Asleep at the wheel right where they want you They stood before their reflection I looked up into their eyes and said Tell me why you are feeling this emptinеss Ask yourself, do you remembеr why your in this place again Dark hands of the path stroking Fragile Beings of binded duality consciousness Shrouded in vanity, spewing contempt and distrust Lanterns swaying to the rhythm of the darkness Glowing before disfigured fractured monuments I am light, I am will I am present, I am still I will fight, I will wield The blade of the sun piercing the sky Blinding those who are drawn to its shine Their new god, she was called Malevolex Sitting coiled around the throne Their disease left the temple in ruin They were plummeting into decadence Adorned in tormented gazes Culling their own mass virtual graves Blinding those drawn into its shine You are death You are hate You are the virus that you have created You will fight You will kill You are the terror you’ve fought to conceal

The Kingdom of Pain Where flesh woven and licked clean A dancing masquerade lamenting playthings for their queen Truth inverted Fractured and obscene Seduced into a trance Lust and greed Malevolex reborn For ages she reigned They worshipped her to the tone of inverted choirs A matriarch reveling Drowning in haunted mires Unbalance reign in a queendom of severed skin A dark metropolis grasping for a taste of flesh Violent vanity left pregnant and ravenous With an infected mind In wayward opulence Drought of divine exaltation In a place with where the rivers of care were replaced By a rip current of unholy wicked lies A realm where truth is lost The Light reveals where harmony lies Wounded healer your time is now Unbalance reign in a queendom of severed skin A dark metropolis grasping for a taste of flesh Violent vanity left pregnant and ravenous With an infected mind In wayward opulence The rising tides of mental sovereignty Causing the prison walls to crumble Onward wielding the Blade A tale perennial The lunacy arraigned In brilliant light and righteous flame Dead inverted stairs Cracked and broken smiles Pulling you into caves of hollowed mortals Thrashing in delusions Led astray by the one they call Malevolex She who knew no wrath She splinters every path she crosses Her disease it feeds on her tenacious needs Her other half was Amoria Lower levels must be harmonious Before you can ascend this place Flow up The way to ascend this inner world Lies in the space of the heart Darkness descends on the who often Toil in Malevolex’s shadow sanctum Drowning out the light and breath to the inner sun Pulling on the strings of ego and solipsism Free Yourself

To carve out the map for the future travelers To reclaim the path of quantum sovereignty To stamp out their phantom fears And assemble the tribe of infinity The stone key of Pryra now within our grasp Calling back the hymn The ancient song from the moon of Amoria The alluring dance of Malevolex Her jagged shadows swayed in the halls of the immortal flame Pointing at the moon Her truth is the light that purges the darkness The summoning of the siren who showed the way long ago The greater mystery The twins of infinity The one who relinquishes the chains That bind the mind from the living astral plane The other one is the devouring mother Feeding at the whole totality of all being At the dawn of the eon she listens for the sound of her song Waking her up, calling down from above to below Reigning down, eclipsing the entire shadow realm Once in 10,000 years this ancient portal opens Out of the mouth of the feathered serpent comes her rival Ages have passed The time has now come to return from insanity

The storm at the sea A place where fleeting dreams bleed of humility A rift between discomfort and discovery Pulling me from reality I must beat the demons before they devour me I shall set them free The ocean dissolving my mind One lapse at a time Eroding the walls Taunting the gatekeepers of the deep I struggle to breath Tyrannical They sift their claws Into the subconscious neural core Like mechanical chains that pull you downward Beneath thе sea are the spirits that feed on my mеmories Sitting perched beneath the sea discrete In their domain you can never escape Without the lost word Following me Following me every step I make Stay here too long Roll the dice you may lose everything They will betray The minds that indulge in fantasy I see them again and again Their desire is to deprecate me The ocean dissolving my mind One lapse at a time Eroding the walls Taunting the gatekeepers of the deep I struggle to breath No more will the tsunamis of the dark aeonic Whirlwind stop my will to live To become free, my vitality The vertical road from the trenches reaching From the primordial deep The ravaging sea, you’ve humble me again Ascend

Riding the wings of black solar flares Masters of the dark laying waste to the children of the future They whispered in their head like deranged laughing ghosts They hold the spine and sip Directly from the innocent Their rending claws Attached to our perception like binding chains Hungry for your essence and longing to lap up your failure Pay them no mind The dead specters that laugh while you persevere and falter It was his expanding brilliance distilled from nobility Etched in the fabric of his essence and energy For in his nature was the path to grow up and out Excellence sprouting from composted fear and doubt Left hand path magi's hiding truth and inverting All they know in hidden symbols Diabolical magicians, polar opposite of the divine Malign, clinging to a rabid cult Dominating this dimension Feeding on opportunities to lie Know their wrath Cyrix raised his sword Aflame in righteous blaze Into the heart of the unfurling sun Casting sacred incantation spells Raving, hungry for souls Demons feeding on a pleroma of dying light They only way they survive Pulling from the absolute A metallurgic battle tome of exalted insight and blinding prayers Gazing in obsidian stone Traveling out of the void we go As the flame of truth pierced into it's deluded veil It ripped into the blackest of solar hearts Amoria could be heard singing in the skies above The siren song lifting my soul out of the void now risen Through layers of the vortex root Crawling like a newborn out from the ocean Up from the depths where the bleakest of trials Wag their tongues at your spirit We have been waiting for ourselves all along Living altars to the one true infinite spiraling all Microcosms of the perfect original Expanding brilliance distilled from nobility Etched in the fabric of our essence and energy And so sprung Cyrix through the ancient stargate grave Back into the heart realm from which he came
