The mighty stars drown into screams, fear awaits the gleaming dawn,
the day shall come for those who seek, the light that guides the humble moth.
Burning sunlight compels the flowers to bloom, all of the valley colours,
every wish is granted, serenity nourishes the heart, bounds the wounds to close.
The sky so bright above, urges me to seek what rests beyond the sun,
eyes seek for that I cannot behold, hands for that they cannot clutch.
The ego rejects the majesty of the spring, the life of this blooming garden,
death is set aflame, along with the idols of this temple to crumble.
The clock, set and ticking, time and date set for downfall,
loose of all chains, the path was set. Into this chasm I dove.
Covered thy eyes with the shroud of misery, not contempt with it myself,
hope left a trail of smoke, vanishing into the dusk, for I have failed you.
All desires are futile, as fate is written by the burning flames of hell.
Wishing to satisfy the hands with flesh, it turns to ashes.
As I wish to return you to the blooming fields of hope, we only fall deeper.
There is nothing under the sun, darkness decieves, and I dragged you to this death.

White gloaming of purity
invades the reflection of the percieved reality,
a haze of pale suffering divides the silent planes,
eternal blindness of obssesive attraction
that foists an eternal walk towards uncertain fates,
with steps marked by the chimes of tears.
Arms and legs dreary by the weight of its flashes,
forever chained to the static mirror of the past.
Bestial thunder announces the wrathful lightning
that mercilessly whips his drowsy back,
skin branded by the whip of hate that deforms his will,
penitent scourge that carves deeper into his old bones.
Yoke of darkness punishes his sins,
a weight of torment, wretched unwilling guillotine.
Open gates to the void, inert desires of past freedom.
Nostalgic self-destruction, voluntary slavery.

Barren fields, now cursed with the seed of memory.
I tried to forget you, as you forgot me. O, why?
And so, the mountains bloom in red carnations,
no place untouched by your unwelcome memory,
no place for the eyes or mind to escape,
at every corner, lies the reminder of guilt.
My dreams are all ridden with pain.
Haven't been the same from that day.
Hidden from the world, I cower, paranoid,
full of guilt for all my wrongs, the damage done.
All I did was to despise you, to hurt you
now I am cursed to carry that weight, to never sleep again.
I cannot escape your clutches, your judgement.
Under the light of the sun, I long for the darkness.
Forgive me for not protecting you, I have failed you.
Forgive me for not cherising you, I have failed you.
The day of the reckoning is close, I can feel it,
And I just wish you would forgive me.
Please forgive me.

Submit your flesh to me, in this carnal act.
Submit your life to me, for it is mine to take.
The sands of time are nigh to their end,
close your eyes one last time, to never awake.
The prophecy will come revealed, fulfilled,
one life for salvation, a sacrifice for the ancestors.
Dreams upon dreams have confirmed it,
the curse will be served, as the Godess has promised.
The seals have burned away, revealing the stench of death,
and her demon has them cast beneath its face.
Feast on my toxic blood, communion rite,
and take this poisonous seed, child of desire.
In this act I cast your soul to the depths of hell,
I hereby command your flesh to perish.
O, mighty night, listen to me,
my prayers now cast in the stars.
In this night of full moon,
all bonds have been impeached.
O, mighty spirits of the night,
here lies your sacrifice,
bleed it dry of her life force,
take my offering and set me free.
The stormy night reclaims your life,
release the clutches of it.
Grounded remains Her Majesty has immolated,
submit to the phallic Leviathan.
