I have become a god
I have dismantled my future to shape your affections
Laid out my own perdition
Sold my soul to have yours in the palm of my hand
I will crush your heart
You will grow another
I will ask for nothing
Add another tally
As more of my humanity decays
My perdition is all of you
You, that said you are different
Not like all of you
All of you are the one of you
Who never could match up to me
I have been dead for many seasons
My corpse is feasting on the pseudo-vengeance
All of you killed me
The rest of you will pay
You worship an angry god
Unafraid of your infidelity
Unafraid of your absence
Welcoming
Inviting
Preying
Give yourself to me
For I am nothing
And have nothing to give anymore
So I'll take
And die alone
With all of your hearts in my hands
And the tallies on my back

A system built upon greed
A virus left to its own devices
Exacerbating its mode of destruction
Decadence from within
Perpetual lust for power
A never-ceasing desire to conquer all
Corruption thrives
On the allegiance of the ignorant
Beclouding a multitude of minds
Rendering a profound slumber
Deepening throughout the ages
Enslaving the ones it vows to destroy
Leading the sleepwalkers
Unto fiery graves
Resistance subdued
The winds of vicissitude
Vanquished to oblivion
The illusion of liberty bestowed
False nectar
To satiate their barren spirits
Inducing waking coma
Drained of all livelyhood
Derelict and bare
Bereft of future and hope
Greed thrives and lives on endlessly
An illness of our own design
Thoughts of freedom hoped for
Lead deeper into enslavement
The souls of the world in shackles
Servile to the ones we have condoned
The Truth will set them free

Feeding on Pestilence
03:52

With eyes closed
And opened mouths
We feed on rotting corpses
Carrion decaying for years past
To soothe these hunger pangs
The more you give
The more we take
Never fulfilled
Nor satisfied
Contagion as sustenance
For the hungry souls
We loathe the bread of the past
Now we feast of decrepit flesh
We give ourselves to you
Torture, kill
From the inside
These illusions
Or is it truth?
Self serving suicide
Destroying earthly temples
Putrid carcasses
Succulent remains
We must only fulfill ourselves
We welcome with opened mouths
And unopened eyes
No trace of humanity left
Mindless animals
Feeding on pestilence
We are what we consume

Altar of Vanity

I. Inceptus
Instrumental
II. Vampirism
A victim of a vile creature
Spawned to devour the lives of men
Chasing mammon
But in him she will find no peace
Her sole purpose, to amass
Worship at the altar of vanity
A prodigy of usury
The lives of others
Are but playthings in her eyes
No sympathy for them or anyone
She will suck them dry
Her beauty is only a mask
Hiding the vileness underneath
She kills and moves on again
Again
You think that you will find happiness
In riches, in glory
Only to be left with nothing
In the end
Slowly the world will see
As your facade crumbles away
The pathetic being you are
Caring not for anyone
But yourself
A pitiful existence
You are a monster without emotion
A parasitic entity
With vain intent
The sun's dim light shines through
That hole in your chest
Where a heart was supposed to be
Wasted flesh

The Great Awakening
05:33

A society lives in the comfort of its intellect
The house that humankind built
Abode of sleeping spirits
Placing trust in the security of society
“This was made with our bare hands
No god needed to spin the wheels of the machine”
But when the machine begins to fail
The façade of security fading away
All you thought you knew
Slipping through your fingers
Reevaluate what you were taught
What you accepted
The folly of your hubris brings destruction
All the world mourns
The earth pregnant with plagues and pestilence
Birth pangs, its pain becomes your own
You look for answers in the hands of the ones
You put so much trust in
(But they are just as lost as you
Unable to perceive what’s beyond their own eyes
Their narrow vision is your truth
These are the ones you worship
But your gods can die
And they will)
As the end approaches
There is a Great Awakening
The masses cry out to the God they claimed was false
But the living God will be their only hope
The life of comfort you once knew is just a memory
The house shattered and broken down
There is no place to lay your head
And Hope is all you have to hold on to
Break free from the carnal lies that hold you
Break the chains binding you to this earthly realm
Awaken, Oh sleeper
And open your eyes
The answers you seek are all around you
The answers you seek are right in front of your face
