Shrines of Paralysis

Never awaken from depths of despair Defined by the profane Endured by pathology They cannot be held below The struggle dying with each passive thrall With each convert to self abhorrence Distortions of former selves Veil the sickness and fear To never awaken Refuse attribution Succumbing to the trial of constriction In chaos Witness the inversion The reverent become the abject Adopting blackened hearts To reject all cause Veil the sickness and fear To never awaken The pure and virtuous scorched in their wake Bled by unabated scorn To bleed and endure Blackened hearts Not only inherit fortune but also failure And reject all cause Only within dreams of envy Are we born into an abyss of untread paths On unmade worlds To reject all cause All circumstance And yield to naught

Birthed inside Unending conflict It is our making and destruction The machination of man Tearing through foundations Left conditioned and numb Content to pull insidious skin over Tortured eyes Fulfilled and blind The rest, the waste are buried No eulogies No remembrance There are no saviours No restraining our past from devouring the present No beginning that won't end us Corrupted cold existence Embedded by bankrupt voices and words Spewing fear, echoed by instinct We face the anguished truth The beginning is the end Bound within empty bodies Captive in shells, obscure and imperfect To wither To acquiesce and obey Is to wither

kneel before craven decrees admonished from on high chained to a perception of flawless mortals within shrines of closed minds the affliciton of man there are none immune cling to destructive ideals to figments of rapture until the final moment none will concede straying from the passages which we have carved ourselves with indignation glaring from reflections all that remains from the burdens of flowing blood are expanses of dust effigies of false purpose corroding the final hours are not for remorse but for contempt with ascendancy weighing down plead to the shrines release us we must tie the ends of unknown withdraw into the pale in this scantuary of death revere the inertia resisting breath turn away all prayers the collapse is owed to stagnation shrines of aparalysis

The dread of what will come of this With fatal eyes over a sinking world Staring through death We suffocate in open air Floods born of malign englect Rising as we are still Reflections of resentment Of the silent and unflinching beings Once complicit It is known It is treason The wretched and spineless souls Dragged through misery Into the approaching darkness A void worthy of them Worthy of the unresigned Submit Chasm of fire encircled conceited hope They succumb not alone But with us dragged beneath Become the menial Become the servile Become the orphan and the abandoned Become the spectre of the righteous The sun will swallow the earth But only after it has choked before its time Long before its time

command the ear of the entangled and they will listen, vision blinkered no more strenght to withstand the inevitable the now impending judgement exonerate the powerless and weak willed those with no right to be in awe of surrounding decay of colliding frailty and malice lost in darkness of regret our names are left nowhere in scarred ground we walk over end the hope end the veneration edge toward the realisation of denial still cowering exonarete the powerless and weak willed because to emerge from refuge is to cede we have fallen end the hope end the veneration annul the monolith to which we gave rise total reversion
