The Grandeur of Despair

Befouled grounds, funerary plot Awaits this debt to claim Last rights confined Burn my memory, you’re dead to me Removing the poison thorns Savor the symptom that eats you alive Drown in despair, consequences forewarn Yet, the filth still churns Rusted gears still grind Far worse will come, as we’re digging through time A toast to your demise As you rot in your grave Behold your reward Free from your misery, guilt and deceit The poison has run its course Cold hands of fate, feel my thorns as you wake Now that the worm has turned Thе bleeding knees and soured prayers Help not, Thy will bе gone To the grave take your shame Inescapable fate Fresh dirt on the grave, borne to the bloody earth Rot in your grave Condemned to cold earth and exile Unfit to exist Moist soil will share our crime This night by nail and plight Misery interred, screaming inside, a feast for the worms A toast to your demise Embittered victory’s release One final sordid night Kicking inside,you rot - rot in your grave Behold your reward The worm, the worm has turned Panic raping your mind Lungs stagnate with greed Choke on your self-pity grief Petty wretch depart in shame With your last dying breath Meet dreamless sleep

Unending misery, mankind destroying itself Looking to the skies to save us all, “big god’ sends no help Unknown to us a battle rages on, light fading from the holy sun Mankind blissfully indifferent, epoch of darkness has begun A choir of angels singing As darkness fills the sky A total eclipse in the heavens Vast nothingness consumes all light Chaos erupting As above so below The age of man in violent conclusion Into the night we must go Unending misery, mankind destroying itself Looking to the skies to save us all, “big god’ sеnds no help Unknown to us a battle rages on, light fading from thе holy sun Mankind blissfully indifferent, epoch of darkness has begun Dark clouds billowing high The thunder rolls Lightning blindingly bright The flames of the end ignited Go into the night (4x) A choir of angels singing As darkness fills the sky A total eclipse in the heavens Vast nothingness consumes all light Chaos erupting As above so below The age of man in violent conclusion Into the night we must go

A plague upon all your houses Thus spoke Zarathustra Plant yourselves upon your couches Ingest endless media Rapidly devolve Unintelligent lifeforms Quick to judge yet slow to care Hypocrisy’s the new norm Now! Watching everything we know and love Fall apart before our eyes (x4) Enter a world of fiery torment The blood, it flows with death Everyone is losing their minds Breeding itself over and over Hatred, anger-fueled contempt Dissention within the highest Ranks of leadership We are all doomed Continued isolation The world has been shut down Survive a plague still want to die Is there no alternative? Scream inside your heart! Scream inside your heart! And die! This is what we do now Sitting in our room Staring out the window This is what we do! Open roads nowhere to go Many struggle to see the ‘why’ Hopelessness and fear abound Take your seat then end your life Walls close in I’m coming undone You cannot control the rage Building up continuously eternal My home is my cage

Flesh burning in darkness Desolation bellows Treacherous blessings clenching teeth, sinking deep Every last vestige bleeds it’s innocence free A dire expense for seeking warmth in the ash Bleeding an epitaph Incendiary breath on my neck Nigh on kindled tinder Kiss the embers, numb to the cold Smoldering bones, stoke disinterred coals Loyal misery, sears the tarnish clean Forged in immolation, it sears the tarnish clean Rites burning in darkness Desolation bellows Sacrifice melded for burnt offering’s dress Immaculate carcass, rotten excess Virgin snow in frosted elegance glow Corrupt of its own damp and cold Vomit agony - A vulgar altar soon availed Kiss the embers, numb to the cold Smoldering bones, stoke disinterred coals Loyal misery, sears the tarnish clean Forged in immolation, it sears the tarnish clean Some embers never die Some ashes hold their fires Ignite in fury, aspire to infamy All Hell’s fire In death Some embers never die Some ashes hold their fires Ignite in fury, aspire to infamy Some embers never die Some embers never die Some ashes hold their fires Ignite in fury, aspire infamy All Hell’s fire All Hell’s fire All Hell’s fire, sentries aghast All Hell’s fire

Wrought an August eve ‘neath London’s dripping eaves A modern gothic promise of disease Night held rains scent in you, and haven bare Awaiting the grand despair Devil rains wash these burning hands Lest these dirty cuts decree ‘Til fate holds me chaste and numb Bloody tongues won’t cleanse our wounds Come lay in mordant rest, our secrecy to death Tress-silhouetted wet corset, contouring eager breasts Virtuous cerements abdicate their laces fare Décolletage in ruptured skies’ prayers Devil rains wash these burning hands Warm scarlet throat agape Empty hands chaste Bloody tongues seal your fate Wash these burning hands Warm scarlet throat agape Empty hands chaste Bloody tongues seal your fate Cut the poison out Dead hope, I always knew Bleed the burning poison out Sleep will come I always knew Pure Angelique, diabolical fiend Illusion of hope, in veiled devilry Wicked Angelique, wistful of thee Queen of my darkness, and disparate beauty Cruel Angelique, diabolical fiend Blood painted angel Wicked Angelique, my lathe, corrupt unto thee In blackened spirit, soulless beauty Bleed the burning poison out Sleep will come, I always knew Wrought an August eve ‘neath London’s dripping eaves A modern gothic promise of disease Night held rains scent in you, and haven bare Awaiting...
