Lowly

Praise the god you’ve cleverly hid
The spear in your side has been rid
You know it so well, you’ve built this yourself
Your only threat is gone
Hang by my neck through victory song
I watched as you gnawed at the hand from which you’ve fed
I’ll sacrifice an arm to tie this rope around your neck
But if you only knew
The moments I’ve wished to grasp your throat
If you only knew
Times I’ve dreamt of breaking your bones
You could never know
The amount of your relief I own
You will never know
The depth of shit you would have dug on your own
Praise, praise, your all seeing eye
Adversary hanged, swayed from the sky
Now your troubles are washed as white
Take this victory with you in stride
Find a new subject for you to condemn
Punish their help, on your own wings you’ll win
Cut their wrists so their hands are dripping red
May you never be damned, for you are free from sin
You are the holy
You are the brave
I am the lowly
I beg to be saved
You are the holy
You are the brave
I am the lowly
I beg to be saved
You are the holy
You are the brave
I am the lowly
In your ruin I’ll lay

Null Existence
03:13

You
Are
Your
Failure
Grasp for air
Gasp for meaning
We are nothing
I am lower
Keep pushing your boulder
Keep ripping your stomach
Keep clinging to your faith
As your bones grow older
We will always break
We will always bleed
We will always feel
Deaths longing ache
Days. Nights. Passage of time.
Fall. Rise. Stare through the sky.
Solace in a null existence.

The Blade Always Dulls
02:43
|
|||
Shaking bodies draining blood
See the loss, kill, rest, numb
A flaw in my design
Mental gap
Says you’re no different
Sees my bones snap
The blade always dulls the second time around
Killed the alert, never mind the wounds
This is just me, and me knowing you
Watch me rip at my scars
Fingernails digging deeper to cut out anything you touched
Taking knife to bones, scraping off the built up rust
Getting farther from myself with each vein I tear
Leave me an empty shell, so no trace of you is there
You’ve laid claim to everything
Let me down, left me out
Hollowed out
Begging for any feeling
Fell below
No longer human being

You Plague Me
02:40
|
|||
Tongue sharpened through your jagged teeth
Spitting your blood on anybody you see
Praying and hoping to win their pity
Then slither behind and sink your venom deeply
Leech hooked to skin, parasite of human life
You
Plague
Me
Finding open wounds to slither through my veins
You
Plague
Me
Dragging down all life, lowest form of being
You
Plague
Me
A virus, a sickness, an infection all at once
You
Plague
Me
Bloodsucker
Worm feeding off the host
Pestilence spread around
Your own worthless existence
Taste your own disease

Hollow Stone
02:18
|
|||
Scare the blood from your veins
Tear the hair from your head
Lay and accept your fate
For nothing awaits your grave
An empty wake for a shallow soul
A faint memory forever uncared for
Your wasted life carries no tragedy
You’ve left no mark, you’ll disappear eternally
No mourners
No living soul surrounds
Your ash will not cover the ground

Oppressor
07:09
|
|||
Age old oppression
New age aggression
Claiming their progress
Prey clenched in their jaws
Pale white knuckles of men
On the back of their scalps
Grasp opposition
Drown the resistors out
Cyclical hatred pandered to simple sons
Rich and religious, never pay for their sins
Still taking control of her body
Still killing him for his skin
No room for the ignorant and dangerous
Not a world for them to fucking belong
Every race, every sex an equal life form
Archaic men can’t hold the power anymore
Abhorrence
Of tyrants
Upheaval
Of ignorance
Oppressor
Decease

Apparition
02:47
|

Apparition take hold
Tear the skin from my skull
Split down to my spine
Gnaw the vertebrae
I’m nothing more
Pathetic vessel
Fucking rotting bones
In blood and filth
Nothing
Slip, tear
End me
These thoughts they swarm me
Built my own pedestal
Lie in wait to crumble
Wreck the body who stands before you
Valueless measures of breath
Lungs of no meaning
Heart not worth beating
I am revulsion
I am loathing

Swollen Throats
02:12
|
|||
You’re backwards logic is ruining the earth
Killing and raping, claiming it’s yours
It’s not your property
Not born for your disposal
The animals you’re eating
Living, feeling, breathing
Not yours to break and train
Suffer a fate of even strength
Refusing to see the world around
Living, feeling, breathing
Hook your body, hang from the ceiling
Slit your swollen throat
A bolt against your own skin
Send the metal through your skull
Steal your offspring
And send them to grinding blades
Grinding blades
Force metal through your mouth
Let the blood muffle your groans
Living, feeling, breathing
Fuck your tradition
Fuck your addiction
Fuck your supremacy
Fuck your dependency
Living, feeling, breathing

Bone and Spine
02:44
|
|||
Inevitable fate no more than a natural cycle
No life with a meaning, only fights for survival
Bound to
Extinction
Death looms
Overhead
Dust among stars
Dead from the start

Swallow Your Faith
03:48
|
|||
Fatal optimism
Clasps your pulsing veins
Bury your head held high
Lay still in your grave
Content or deprecating, our bones will rot the same
Forever covered by soil, unaffected by these worthless days
We are alone in this, there’s no point to feign a hope
Numb the body, kill the senses, no choice but to cope
Nothing is waiting
Nothing is here
Swallow your faith
Swallow your fear
Stay down
Stay hurt
Stay out
Stay broken
