Paint in blood A sigil of death On fading reflections Beneath this night Master of their infernal fears, I take these burning gates...to reign Pass this torch of evil (so I may become) Through the candlelit Bloodstained mirrors... to succumb to the netherworld...

I am the world that hides The universal secret of all time Destruction of the empty spaces Is my one and only crime I've lived a thousand times I found out what it means to be believed The thoughts and images The unborn child that never was conce...

Ceremonies and worship inverted by suicidal mass Palace of praise and light, death and blood becomes its memory Taking its place, you can feel god's disgrace. By a sermon preaching death to the dying Scattered hateful thoughts, Pieces of brains hang from...

For I dug a mass grave in abysmal depths For this wasted human race shall never be reborn again Cold burial, their blood stains the snow Eyes that will never see the same again, After I've shattered your mirrors forever I will not be kind in the torture you d...

Elizabeth christened, no paler a rose Grew so dark as this sylph None more cold in repose Yet Her beauty spun webs Round hearts a glance would betroth She feared the light So when She fell like a sinner to vice Under austere, puritanical rule She sacrificed.....

The lie is no escape, lost in the reflection's cycle and crying rape. Fiends and sexual deviants hiding behind God at their own convenience. Reach the realization, you're here because you've been thrown away. From a broken glass christening to the recycling of...

A saviour conjured to lead the "blessed" through this hell, Adverse lords dominate the crimson sky, Demonic shadows shroud the heavens, The codes they dreamt (superstitious fears transformed into) engravings on their skin. Faith led to their own end, noth...

And the weak degenerated for centuries To come without the strength to triumph Over written prophecies, For it is you who will die for the bastard's sins (without a second coming). His curse was the revelations he cast into their minds, His light brings death,...

Scars aren't enough anymore They'll only tell tales of confusion and shame I'd want to make you suffer through life With only yourself to blame Cast out from society, you're a dead weight to yourself Behind an obsolete cause... without any affect Profess to me...

Naive, weak, obey. Follow into the human concentration camps, Your black savior of 'hope' leads the way... Towards mass graves (and plastic caskets) 

Heiled in battle again Into the night eternally searching and Fighting to be eternally free And to live in darkness Decaying upon their crosses Light without will (or reason) Seeing only with (holy) blood in our eyes To deny them their empires Take the light f...

A necrotic spirit casts a suffering in the wind to devour any worth of soul, Strings from hands of dying trees manipulate loss, For nature itself withers into industrial rivers, Windows to scream at (weakness reflects) and tone only shatters your soul. Du...

Let your granted wishes torture you As paradise is nowhere to hide Tormenting black shadows are the remains Even after you find the "light" The key to my energy is to kill you with your will to live For your screams awaken my dying soul Drawing spells and gate...

Halls and walls of consequence deem endless, where hope is the art of lying to yourself. You're a lost fucking cause in a vicious circle of endless rape. You've raped yourself in front of the mirrors I held before you running from a future and leaving a maze...

Surveillance mirrors, smashing all the lies Haunt with reflection till it all dies Reveal yourself or be revealed You'd rather lose a limb Merciless reflection tortures throughout (I can see a soul filled with doubt) Life's rejection, you're reduced to nothing...

There is a void inside and no longer a soul, dementia has begun to take control. Nowhere has become the other side. The body is now prison, there's no way out (was there ever a way in?). Shadows where wombs used to be, there is no escape from stagnating in des...

Kill the human nature inside Internal force says goodbye Let your soul die Using death to silence my thoughts Cannot live in the human way Remaining alive to feel regret Murder the minds voice that doesn't listen Cause it to hear the bleeding of your brain, th...

Looking back to your traumatic time And no one cares to solve the crime Nothing beyond the flesh I disposed No soul to linger after the coffin is closed. Give back all the pain they gave Leave them to rot in an open grave Drain the sunrise, a sunrise ful...

Self-destruction towards the true enemy within, it's the only battle you can win. Other wars, you don't stand a chance. Turn the weapon and turn the cause upon yourself, failing to advance. Digging your grave is another way of shitting on this earth. You are t...

Red hopelessness impaled on rocks and trees. Fallen from cliff's edges, a cursed exit from weakened mortality. Servants sacrificing their flesh (for soon the soul will be gone). In the name of nothingness, abduction of your will to live. Rat-like minions seal...

A sinister telepathy is screaming at forgotten fears An exit made of your self-destruction, may your reflection guide the blade. In your lost code of self knowledge, a mere entrance for evil to enter The venom is hidden and the venom wears a mask (I serve myse...

Blood clotted sewage possessed my veins and mind. Poisonous indulgence. Suicidal voids filled with fragments of waste showers. Dreaming a tormented memory to slash my throat. Yet awakening in blood. Vortex and scars on their mind. To never forget the meaning o...

All (human) colors die in blistering winds, When all days are put to rest, My world will begin, alone, without life, without light. Cruel death (Torched and tortured the outer light world) Scattered before a bringer of ember storms. This realm will all be mine...

Acting out your disease Acting out your trauma The world wasn't there... to watch your drama Your words have lost meaning Lost until the mirror brought them back, (reflecting) with more ugliness than before Stare into yourself, the human whore. 

The moon tonight feels my revenge To summon forth my time (of sin) and hate Impaled are their wings Raped is the soul From the bleeding holy womb At one with night, for I'm with death Eyes now bleed In the color and sight of terror The moon tonight screams wit...

Dead was any eye, to see them die Of these passing lives, screaming within Drown in the streams, we once drank from This death has no wings To "Hell" we follow A Falling Moon

The unfettered few who choose to roam Sharing more than sexual excess Sowing more than vexing stones Favourite haunts of depravation Where the morning fears to tread Covenant revere the sullen cain Strike the tethered liar dead Dark solstice fever burns in m...

Silence now and close your eyes, this is the darkest light you will ever see. Waiting not for death to drown in purgatory, waiting now for death, bringer of the only solace. Don't be confused, you've lost all there was to lose. Survival only seeking...another...

A sharpened shaft shines through morning dew Drawn out shadows walk on you Alone I stand to face the day Tortured by a deathly silent view Take my hand, please follow me I was your love and your destiny Let us over mistcovered mountains go To a place w...

Forever haunted by failure, I, the mirror won't let them be, Contribution to their abuse, my only use. A once trusted faith, inverted, Defiled, beaten, molested, A deep fear to whisper in your ear, It will follow you in your sleep, You will feel it inside you...

Under full moons waxing lyrically Death's poetry floods the soul Like the freezing seed of a demon freed To curse the stars with vertigo And in their dance, in trance I've prised wide Slick rifts twixt obsidian thighs Hymeneal gates to darker sides A glimpse o...

Use them, abuse them, bleed them dry, to leave them fiending (weakened and manipulated) In a lust for sin and a devourment for the living, our dreams connected (and wishes crossed paths) For she is inside of me, and I in her. Death comes by sleep, be the shado...
