I long for the day that I can lay my head upon the ash When the smoke fills my lungs When the fire licks my back Come heavy breath Burn my skin Let me feel my sin Every deep breath Every sweet scent I want to sit on a mountain of bones Feel a dragon’s kiss Violent and impressive Silent exclamation Ecstasy forged in the fire Sky burnt black, fields of death Come heavy breath Come every death My lips curl at the ravenous Sulphur Promised Land’s a sea of bodies Into the fire The ash is my home Into the fire Arms stretched outward Welcome the flame Crack in the earth Pleasure and pain World at the end Filled by desire Every existence Cleansed by the fire Beautiful charred landscape Every end fulfilled Come heavy breath Come every death. Into the fire Come heavy breath Come every death Into the fire The ash is my home Into the fire Blood, ash, and bone.

Backbiter 03:39
With your fingers down my throat Pulling out all the words that were never spoken Tearing up my insides A scapegoat for the uninspired Fists of stone with the weight of a feather Unoriginal and not so clever Unable to look back Afraid of the fear The secrets are fast Your thoughts on a spear Eager for blood Back handed yet kind Misplaced aggression that turns on a dime So you built your box on the backs of real pain Of real fear Of real blood So sorry and vain The ego is virtuous but the sword is sharp Be careful the advocate, the ally, the friend With blood in the air They won’t see the end The mother of predators Will eat her own Remember the spiders, the rabbits, the wasps. Remember the battles, remember the cost I wonder if cannibals care for the weather With fists of stone, with the weight of a feather With your fingers down my throat No secrets left to spill Twisted my guts Twisted my words You left a mess and you walked away No accountability for the vain Unoriginal and not so clever Unable to look back, afraid of the fear. The secrets are fast. Your thoughts on a spear. The mother of predators will eat her own Remember the cost Remember the pain So sorry and vain So you built your box on the backs of real pain Of real fear Of real blood So sorry and vain.

Rot 02:50
Eyes peeled Sun for sustenance My heart, a race A bad taste So take me home I’m tired of oxygen The neck it rolls, on my soft bones My palms wet The feet swell Enlarged tongue Burnt by the salt So take me away Cavernous chest Let the muscle rot This is all my fault So take me away This is what my gold bought So take me away Dragging whimper The insects lurk Stalking, waiting Glory, anticipating Desperate fingers grasp to hopeless life The sun takes my soul, the ground is my bride So take me away Cavernous chest Let the muscle rot This is all my fault So take me away This is what my gold bought So take me away Away With the insects I weep Haunted blood Road map veins Smells of gray Taste of sand A smile in my mind hopeful death comes I await the grin of my saint, my friend A tiny speck A small hum. I can’t feel my fingers Hope has come to take me home, away to my end. So take me home. A willing man. So take me home Death my friend Take me home Take me away Take me home Death my friend.

Mourn 03:41
Gone, I reach for the ghost inside Once clutched in a warm embrace Not absent from memory But a touch left behind I hear it calling, whisper my name It kept me from falling Gone as it came A wild affair A brilliant romance Gone as it came The smell in the air A ghost remains I remember the touch I remember the pain And to feel it again To covet the lust It’s always been you It’s always been us Into the dark This emptiness like a fading pulse I can’t recall it’s not the same I miss the touch I miss the pain Alone in my dark Reviving the times that we had One more taste One more time To say goodbye, to say goodbye And now it’s gone And now I wait to take my place On a mantle of mistakes On the day that I’m reborn I’ll think fondly of the heart that I gave The heart I’ve torn. I’ll burn so bright I’ll fade so quick, sit in my dark It’s you that I miss Let me say it was worth the hate This feeling of bliss, so close to my lips Now I hold onto this sweet release Hollow bones, such easy prey Hollow bones, such easy prey I remember the touch I remember the pain The smell in the air A ghost remains I remember the touch I remember the pain And to feel it again To covet the lust It’s always been you It’s always been us.

Save me, save me my love Break me, break me down Save me, save me my love Break me, break me down So close, so close to heaven No deals with the devil I can’t find my head in the sand I can’t feel my heart in the clouds The light is blinding me The darkness suffocates me Vibrating between radiations Warm center, cold extremities Lovers in light Deceivers in dark Givers of gold Takers of hearts Heavy head Broken back Twisted ribs Fingers bent back Take my head I’ll follow my heart Lovers in light Deceivers in dark Keep me wanting Take my honor Dirt in my nails Blood of my father Blood in the water Lovers in light Deceivers in dark Save me.

Narcissist 06:05
Idle hands and a fast mouth Taking turns with both eyes closed Spewing incoherent self-worship idolatry Indulge, the slaughter of the wicked mind Swarm, the truth tellers Little god, slow down now Believe in yourself Rooftop deity, commanding someone else’s words The tongue was never a bride to the teeth in your mouth Wisdom guided by the serpentine spine riding on the back of lower self Lower self Little god Keep up now Unearned congratulations You only whispered revolution Little god slow down now Little god keep up now Embrace yourself You are the only one Embrace yourself Idle hands and a fast mouth Taking turns with both eyes closed Spewing incoherent self-worship idolatry Indulge the slaughter of the wicked mind Swarm the truth tellers Little god, slow down now Little god, keep up now Embrace yourself You are the only one that you love Gullible liar, gluttonous child Embrace yourself You are the only one that you love Gullible liar, gluttonous child Embrace yourself.
