Death's strangle hold of suffocation As the calf is ripped from her side Into the realm of dead and dying Where compassions deadened by a lie All pain and suffering ignored For the price of commodity The truth of mankind's injustice Hidden in shrouds of decay The blood stained hands of destruction As millions are stripped of their lives The screams of torment extinguished By the kiss of a butchers knife To see through eyes unclouded The slaughter for selfish gain The bloodlust of countless masses The cries that will go on in vain To see through eyes unclouded The slaughter selfish gain The blood lust of rabid masses The eternal mechanics of pain DEMONS on the killing floor, Extinguishing THE LIVES OF THE INNOCENT. Whispered lies of industry Built on bones of lesser things . Blood stained lips salivate Hiding sheaths of serpent’s teeth Self induced cataplexy As you rot from the inside.

This is your life; So far in the margins led Grasping for identity From the womb of the dead a pious oath of hatred A soul possessed by snakes the vocals chords of a masters lungs A eugenic mistake A nationalistic pride so strong it compels you to hate so in awe of the black and white you’re a slave to the state You can’t see the richness in a cross cultural bond implying a sickness from the eden beyond your a whole existence, a disease I pray to humanity, for the force of the sun to drown your wretched entity in a sea of flames So afraid of change it shakes you To your rotting core Clinging on to an abstract notion that you never even knew. the bleeding hearts of hatred crusaders for a master race A plague of shining savior’s clad in the robes of disgrace

Knowing 02:39
The pressure to scream these words weighs heavy on my back Caught between the need to speak and the impulse to react Rash words like swords thrust into swine Severed deep and seeping wine Words like flesh on wire barbs Tearing wounds from faded scars And the words wont come And the stares burn cold Every time I try to express these feelings, Words cut my throat like shattered glass Hung myself on the words of others Nailed upon this cross of verbs And im drawing a blank While burning with the rage Of a thousand sleepless nights Searching for my voice With a mouth filled with blood And severed tongue Crawling in the darkness Ive become Scratching for some substance to retrieve Knowing that ill never match my peers DROWNING.

And as the sunlight beckons, a darkness creeps back in. A recurring dream of dystopia, as the light begins to dim Complicit in this devastation, the crimson stains my hands. Unable to escape this bondage as death spreads across the land Darkness never ends. The nightmare just repeats The only solace is sleep there can be no justice, there can be no peace until every cage is empty, until every manacle is broken and every institution that upholds this corrupt society burns to ruin . An act of violence in the name of total liberation is the only true act of peace. And society marches on, While the succubus holds my chest And commerce outweighs life, And profits equal death. the wheels of death keep turning, because we've all been put to rest the demons breath of capitol like iron on our breasts the old hags brew of slumber down the back my throat creeps Sedated by the lure of hope Paid in blood to fall asleep

The iron fist of violence The masters whip and cage The taste of subjugation Populations laid to waste Seas fished to extinction For the greed of man Natures wrath of vengeance Dominion at an end Reparations for destruction paid for with borrowed seed Led wolves like lambs to slaughter gaping wounds like mouths to feed Blindness of man Think we can escape Hell we created Collectively gestate This World of piss and poison Rotten to decay Endless execution No life to maintain And the sacrifice of human life, to save the lives of millions could not be more justified.

Tied to the stake of progress Red flames of heresy Charred skin of life and living Blistered flesh of sanity Compassion cast from Eden The throes of death begun The healing hands Nature replaced by blackened lungs Poison fills the air. Fire burns the skies. Like stench of demons' breath We suffocate the land The black tar of pollution Like fire in our hands Choked from our own existence With willing subterfuge Like viral plagues of locust Stripping life of every hue Mankind is a tumor The Slow death of decay Asphyxiated by our vices Led astray by iron Gods The selfish blinded sons of Adam The drooling mouths of poisoned dogs. Scorched earth. Blackened Skies.
8.
heart agape, on seraphs wings with swords of fire to cleave in twain, And if you’re there How can I love you? With all the horrors you allowed And all the fields you set a flame? In halls of gold, with the tongues of snakes From human thrones so quick to forsake Prostituting the fear of death with strangle hold Hoarding pieces of silver for the lies you’ve told In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king craven scriptures conceived in sin Houses of the unholy carved in stone A counterfeit morality of ancient bones
