Endless depravity

Endless depravity
Knows no bounds
The ones you love
Will always suffer
Lies flow like blood
From wounds that never close
And love is a carcass
Butchered and violate
Crawling with worms
Stink and rot
Fucked like an animal
Whispering I'll cut you
The only true promise kept
Inverted loyalty
Raping all integrity
Ritual betrayal of all that is good
The cunt was right
Selfishness is a virtue
Sold every innocence
To buy the medicine
To buy the key to oblivion
To buy the map to nowhere
The clothes that cloak the stranger
The uniform of no one
Here it is no crime
To be the murderer of thyself
Great work is the suicide
Great rewards are an emptiness
Exquisite negation, in all your eyes a
Beautiful and terrible void
And Numb is the heart
Asleep in the dark
And oh the hunger, is never fed
Endless depravity
Until finally, all beauty all
Perfection is death.
Devoid of all life, within the abyss
We are blessed

The black pit
02:11
|

It's the furthest down
You've ever been
Where floors become ceiling
Your Sigil failed
To protect you
And memory won't fade
Fast enough
Smother it all
Get high till you're choking on grey fog
And you're so numb
Your body feels like frozen meat
Even still
You can see what you did
In the black pit
That day
Clear and cracked
As a glass pipe
Streaked with resin
Streaks of pungent guilt
Caked with disgust
The fucking black pit
Puking black bile
Is this who I am now?
Walked fifty miles
Trying to out run
This desperate feeling
Ended up back
At the gate again
Facing the same decision
Falling again
Again and again
Can't catch a foothold
Thick and acrid is the air
In the black pit.

Plague of vermin
03:05
|

We who are cursed
Cannot see the dawn
The rats in the bowels of
This ship that is sinking
Trade in misery
And disease
False hope and lies are
As deadly as any
Famished forever our teeth cannot cease gnawing
Muscle and bone
Toward the heart
Striving above all to be
Not forgotten
But erased

Hatred most precious
04:28
|

Fuck Satan
Fuck God
Theistics can keep your words
They are one, within me
My only word
Adversary
Forever will I be
Not many are worth the violence
Of pure energy
Most precious
In this world or another
Eternally patient
my vengeance
Now is war
Persistent the rancor
Slowly has tempered
And sharpened a weapon
Precise is the blade
For the throats
Of my enemies.
For I am the judge
And executioner
Risen through ashes
Of self destruction
Adversary
No longer turned inward
This violence,
Hatred, most precious.
