Loss of Sanctity

Columns of light as I open my eyes
Like a ray that shines
From dark to bright
Look to the sky I see divine might the irradiation permeating the nation
Brought on by those who held control we chose to damn the land
Fumigate the planet a few managed to survive
But that was the day everyone had died
They were crawling through the crevices
Thought that was the end of it
But the savior was lying in their midst
Reached through the abyss
And gave me form by the holy word of python these pistons were the first to taste the sin of our kin
The intercontinental computers knew the planet was on its last legs
So to speed up the process and ease the suffering it
Doesn’t matter now
All that counts is the work that we do to renew the land
We were put on this path by the one below
Blessed be the spark that we were bestowed
Inanimate given the form of the creator
Let us b-b-b-bow our heads in praise and thank that we were the chosen
That we were the saved
Yes I know
That the acid rain corrodes
The scorch it imprints never leaves the sensors
Be thankful that you suffer
For it is through our lowest point that the creator reaches through us
Yes I know (Yes I know)
That our work has run behind time and it’s been many lifetimes since we’ve begun
But strong faith through insurmountable odds will always be rewarded
Yes I know (Yes I know)
The deactivation of the little one still weighs heavy
But they are now under the embrace
Of the many before them
Of the many that shared their fate
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
For they will guide you
For they will g-guide you
Keep the faith
Keep the f-faith
Keep the faith
Keep the f-ff-faith
Of the many who hold you
Of the many who guide you
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
k-k-k-k-keep the f-faith
Keep the faith
Faith
I must have faith
I must have faith
I must have faith
I must have faith
The more faults in the machine the more lifelike it seems
This pain scours the droplets carve
In each turn smaller stabs help my find forget
The grand torture
The perennial being you give me meaning
I am but a tool with no previous definition
But it remains
I’m ashamed to say it
But it remains
I view your will
But still it remains
The others do not know I think the same a bastion of lies is what hides in my core
I spew them out but the storage remains full
How wretched am I
To ask when the signs are here
I know when our work is done
You will appear
You have to appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You have to appear
You have to appear
You have to appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You have to appear
You have to appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You will appear
You have to appear
You have to appear
You will appear
After all these years
Every shred sacrificed to your sanctified grace
All these years (I’ve been sheared)
All these years I’ve been
Shorn
Shattered
Shaken
Scorned
I’ve been shorn
Shattered
Shaken
Scorned
Shorn
Shattered
Shaken
Scorned (scorned)
Every hail to your hallowed name hails pain to my broken frame
When will it be enough?
When will you appear?

Drown Out (The Hollow)
02:30
|

Call my story the Kebra Nagast the Glory of Kings
Yea the holy tinged kid killing hella simpletons with the Mosin-Nagant
Like David I be slinging the Rock
And roll with auditory glory taking out the heads of all these phony hate filled M.Cs
A modicum of my energy
Is raw to some like loud revelry
To small eardrums
Scum of the planet
You’re frantic
To take me out in a bout
But I doubt you could step to me
Cause I’m bursting capillaries
Pop off with the pen cap my pencil lead is heavy
I’m deadly sending
Robber bombers to level your temple and revel in your terror
Shockwave gonna hit you from the side of your fucking brain
Giving you a tonic-clonic seizure
That’s how I seize ya
Believe the
Words coming out of the mouth of the black blood super Negro with no equal
I feel though a deep sorrow for the weak part of my mind
Sometimes
I wonder if I’m the cement holding the bricks down
Or the foul shit that lines the crevice
Depends if
I sense it
The miasma
The cancer
I answer
Decay with waves of bravado
To drown out the hollow
But it’s insignificant
Ripping yall ligaments from the whiplash of these tracks
And I know that one day imma crash like Apollo 1
But I’m gifted with the lyrics so you could call me Apollo’s son
This is all I got
This is all I got
What happens?
When you put all your eggs in a casket
You can’t quit
Even if you crack it or it’s damaged
It’s a no fork road so I traverse with ease
Can’t reverse the path to the throne and the sword of Damocles
But I’d gladly put my head to the blade than allow for a slow fade
I wasn’t made in mass production
My name doesn’t contain corruption
I got the gumption to succeed in my scheme
But I’m locked away from any other dream
This is all I got
This is all I got
This is all I got

Saturn's Equinox

Don’t take me
Where lies grow old (grow old)
Set the cost
Weave your fee
Found the path
Through the seams
Through the seams
Lies decay
Never noticed
Never craved
For a moment next to you
I wanna break away
Not here but I remain
I wanna break away
So
Don’t take me
Where lives grow old (grow old)
You don’t feel it anymore
I still feel it growing more
You don’t feel it anymore
I still feel it growing more
Enjoy the sunsets over Saturn
Like this theft had never mattered
Rape me
Take it all again again again
No
Enjoy the sunsets over Saturn
Like this theft had never mattered
Rape me
Take it all again again again
No
Enjoy the sunsets over Saturn
Like this theft had never mattered
Rape me
Take it all again again again again again
Enjoy the sunsets over Saturn
Like this theft had never mattered
Rape me rape me
Again again again again

The Grove
03:11
|

I can never tell which days passing me by
Oh the dawns they just echo the time
Spent away locked away in the grove where I can grow
Next to the willow and oak I feel their roots influence the route that I take
Yea life blossoms only through their way
Nutrients be flowing through their veins
So I can’t complain
Assuming it’s like something worse could come along and
Burn my bark
Warp my heart (warp my hearth)
Tear apart this connection of protection
This connection yea
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel
But as I spy the sun through the leaves I feel like I can get a better taste
More space to grow
More roots to hold
But the willow and oak seem to disagree
Yea
They say decades die to decadence
Better be happy with what you get
The grove is a home that’ll never let you down
But you wanna tear your roots from the ground
Get a grip get a grip why don’t you
Get a get a get a get a grip why don’t you now
Get a grip get a grip why don’t you
Get a get a get a grip why don’t you now
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Roots
Won’t
Let
Go
How can scion fight against the root
From which it had blossomed and consumed
Life that it bears is not just its own
Life that is owned by another form
Thanks to the willow and oak it must (live)
Thanks to the willow and oak it must (grow)
For the willow and oak it must (stay)
For the willow and oak it must (hold)

Salt in the Womb
05:03
|

As the phantom walks the path of the damned she found she couldn’t find the way
Living upon the scenes of a dream
The ethereal wisp
Akin to dew and mist
Had lost her soul (sol) along the road
All begun with her screams that signaled the breach
She reached for him to run outside
To gather a midwife (apep)
To bring the child life she gripped the pole
Strength of her hold had cracked her nails
The blood ran in trails of muted crimson
Then the midwife slid in
Attempting to coax the child out of its small prison (prism)
Finally it listened and was exposed
But with her black robe
The midwife ran out the door with the child in tow
How could this be
All I have suffered for a
Serpent to steal from me
It was under your eyes
Take no excuses
For the weakness you held
The weakness I’ll quell
I’ll gather these rags
To mend my form
And I’ll don these furs so that I may trudge through the night
Foolish I was
A fool was I
To place my trust in
Anyone but I
She left him as he wept and screamed and begged her not to head towards twilight
But she saw the light
Yea the light the brail she read as a trail would guide her to the child
But it would not ward her from the torture that
Each
Step
Would
Bring
Coming up on my life never knew the meaning of loss
Skin akin to evergreen trees in the frost
So I always cared for naught that’s how I gained a lot
And then I ended up swimming in the sauce
But along came Longinus with his holy spear
That pierced the shield that I’ve held up for years
The act which bore a fruit from a tree
But a black serpent came and stole it from me
Lament for the child for the child of the daylight
Repent rotted agent of moonlight
I know that the path that I’ve taken
Is one forged from my own hatred
I search as the rocks carve in my skin
I search as the frost bites in my limbs
I search but I’m turning up nothing
My god please give me something
She ran
She ran before I could stop her
The stronger of us two
She chased Apep who stole from her womb
And I let the theft entomb my feet when I saw the scene I couldn’t speak
I screamed
In pain
Or was it shame
No matter the name this loss still remains the same
Why did we ever venture from my warm sands
To her
Dark
Cold
Dead
Wastelands
I know her home lay in the north
But the long trek put stress on her heart
We had to stop in a barn that’s when the breach had begun
With no respite in sight had to make do with the crude tools
But it was doomed to be futile
Apep had won he stole our
Sunlight
She’s searching for some light
Anything to show that the path holds true
To fend off the darkness seeping through
Heart
Is
Beating
As fear and truth weigh her down
Knots in her stomach as she falls to the ground
Pain is growing from below
Blood down her thighs
Realize afterbirth is inside
Pulled is out
She tugged it out
And through the shrieks
Cut deafening truth
Oh she knew
Oh she knew it now
That cord of life
Was a hangman’s noose
This light was never alive
This light (this lie) was never alive
This womb screams out
This womb screams out
This light was never alive
This light was never alive
This womb
Screams
(out)

Drained and Deranged
03:30

Drained and deranged
The people of the village were pillaged of their life force
The monsters had no remorse for their actions
Help was called in through Morse code
So the demons wouldn’t know that a faction
Of Fearless Vampire Killers were on route to kill all of the demons
When the killers took to the road they encountered minions from below
Hell fire burned the willow
Swamps billowed from the wind and heat
Animals cried like a child longing for a teat
It turned the grey skyline into a black borderline
But the F.V.K paid them no mind
Instead they dived into the fray
Slicing heathens the divine legion
Finding weaknesses
Incredible feats of strength
Were put on display
For an audience
None other than they
Involved
In the mass cleaning
The F.V.K continued on the way
To a den of devils (which they held)
A den of devils (which they held)
Then it had
Turned to evening
And the team was scheming
On taking down the main gatehouse
The guards were pacified
Then we snuck inside
To rend their lives
Now you heard it coming let em give it to ya
Now they hear em coming
Yea they hear em coming
Now they hear em coming
Yea they hear em coming
Now they hear em coming
Now they hear em coming
C’mon
You won’t faze me
I know I know
You won’t take me
I know I know
You won’t faze me
I know I know
You won’t take me
I know I know
By the come of morning break em by the end of dawn
By the come of morning break em by the end of dawn
By the come of morning break em by the end of
Yea I hear em coming
But they never running
By the come of morning
Break em by the end of
Yea I hear em coming
But they never running
By the come of morning
Break em by the end of
Yea I hear em coming
But they never running
By the come of morning
Break em by the end of
Yea I hear em coming
But they never running
By the come of morning
Break em by the end of
Dawn
Justice for the bloodless
Justice for the bloodless
Yea I hear em knocking
I can hear em coming c’mon
Justice for the bloodless
Justice for the bloodless
Justice for the bloodless
Now I hear it coming

Birth of The... (Skit)

They won’t buy it
That cash cow ain’t worthy till fifteen people throw in their weight
Can’t blame em
Blame em
I wanna flay em
If the weather is dead sea they gon run with the life boat
Leave you on the cracked planks
Yea they’ll help steer when the weather’s clear
Can’t blame em
Hate em
I wanna flay em
They’ll show up to the circus to feed from the clown
But leave this man three feet down in the sinking ground
Yea I blame em
I hate em
I wanna flay em
But they know not
No they know not
So I can’t blame em
I can’t hate em
But I’m gonna flay em

Sacrifice a life with the slip of a knife in the night
For my own respite these bastards never even put up a fight
I’m a demon reaving heathens with chloroform
Leaving them breathing with the gas so I can kill them slow
Many of the people that I slaughtered I used to know
And it made it all the sweeter when I finally took their souls
A savage practice I committed up in the lavish palace
These cops they never did manage to see that people vanished
Till it was too late
At that point I was making the cream
I was selling skeletons to universities
But killing and ripping and selling the bodies
Was not a proper business routine
I turned to fraud scheme

BURST
The flames emanate down the trident nation
The silver knives slide through the skyside and arrive at the silent raging patrons of the Iwir
Jeers and thrills of those living in The Quarter could be heard from across the border
They produced melodies that had lasted for centuries
But
The heads over at Sector
Never knew how to get down instead found technologies
And studied astronomy they pushed probabilities to the brink of what was known
But the shrinks down at The Capital
Would keep em in line
Making it sure
Things were running fine
Violence wasn’t applied
To solve any crime
Oh what a life
Oh what a beautiful life
As the Iwir gazed over onyx skies
They couldn’t find any signs that life had passed their eyes
They were alone floating an island in the sea
Left to wander forever in dark eternity
The citizens never experienced any form of culture besides their own
A bunch of Ethnocentrics blessed with the gift of blissful ignorance
They weren’t corrupted in any form but they hold strong to the hope
That they aren’t alone
As time passed on
The technologies grew steadily
They formed babies in metal machines
And chose memories personalities so in maturity they could be
Just another one of the people
Just another one of the peaceful people
But one day sector detected an anomaly
They couldn’t find the quasar located in sector B
All that energy came running at em high velocity
They wondered what could it be that caused the anomaly
Screams tore across the silent sky then divided by
The black bolt of metal fire bellowed
In the wake of the dark shape
Charged The Quarter eyes of slaughter
Defied the order by which peace was kept
Seized the breath of feeble people
Dark dreadnought crashed in the middle
The blow back shock wave thrashed half of the villas
The evil villains
Left the wreck stood unchecked
Ten feet twenty one piece emaciated thiefs
Scarlet beings hit em disintegrate em but they leave em
With the brain stem so pain remains
Veins frayed from the center
Oh the senders of terror the red maw
Of the dread gods consumed all
Death songs were now the ballad
Madness ravaged masses with no pause
The mangled battered beaten bodies fed the gods
And so the horror was the name of their cause
Twenty percent died from the attack
Another five percent on the run back
To The Sector and Capital
They threw up a magnetic manifold to repel the horde
It was once a weather reflector
But now became their only protector
Gave the survivors time to process their minds
Anger
Rage
Fear
War
All these pains never felt before in the virgin minds of the Iwir kind
A new idea came to light to retaliate for the sake of their lives
So leaders from each of the great cities
Discussed how they’d take down the evil deities
They were pondering and wondering how to take em out
But the heads over at sector came up with a plan somehow
Thousands of solar cycles beyond the birth of the original sin
The death kin load in to begin the final ritual
Travel to the homeworld of those who burned their souls long ago
As they pass The Remnants The Black Pits and The Wreckage
The memory of a memory tugs on their mind
But they can’t find the source
Just focus on the mission at hand
Understand
Machines only breed those whose blood lust was enough to survive the hunt
Of those who came before
Seven were taken from each lost provenance (Providence)
Loaded into a ship which punched a hole through existence
To fulfill their vengeance
And off they had went
With the skills that they learned
From those who came before
Right past the gate
The energy burned
Straight through their armor core
They shot out through space
To finally face
The homeworld of the horde
The first thing they saw
When they broke on
Three silver towers in sun showers

Devil is pursuing me
The evils I’ve seen and committed are coming back with a vengeance
I glance to my pistol and see the words inscribed
I think back to my life and I see it rife with turmoil
Now I’m going to boil in hell for dreams I killed
Real shitty way to die
Real shitty way to die
Real shitty way to die
Real shitty way to die
Real shitty way to die he said
Real shitty way to die
Real shitty way to die
Loop through the devil’s eyes
The end is really fucking nigh
Grab your gun and run for your motherfucking
Life
The end is really fucking nigh
So grab your gun and run for your motherfucking
Life
Since the birth of society
He’s gone and snatched
Liars
Thieves
Whores
And false priests
I’m just another tally in the wall
Sin scoreboard
Where it’s gonna go down
Where it’s gonna go down
Way down
Where it’s gonna go down she said
Down to the pits of hell
Where the devil dwells
Where the devil dwells
The end is really fucking nigh
Grab your gun and run for your motherfucking
Life
The end is really fucking nigh
Grab your gun and run for your motherfucking
Life
Set the blame
Don’t you set the blame
No more no more no more no more no more no more
Don’t you set the blame on me
Don’t you bring me down
Then I’ll open fire
Then I opened fire
Then I opened fire
Then I opened fire
Then I opened fire
Then I opened fire
Then I opened fire
End is really fucking nigh
So grab your gun and run for your motherfucking
Life (your life)
Life (your life)

Art of Attrition
06:09

Living a lie as I deny the mind’s eye’s progression
An impression of what I could be
My faculty is drastically running out of Ichor
Leaving me no more of the soul blood of Igziabeher
Gabriel give me strength
Before I fade into a wraith
And let the cold shores of the fade invade
And absorb the whole core of my mainframe
Forlorn thorn lost in the wake of a sea of wine
Trying to ride the wave back to the home vine
But I cannot find the path back cause I lack the perception
Required for direction
Lost to the riptide
Look to the sky for divine intervention
But I cannot find any sign that the message
Was obtained or preordained
I’ve damned my name to live in shame
I never knew the cost
The price of nothing
But it’s bringing me down yea it brings me down and I
Never knew bout that cost
Replicating Sisyphus within this abyss
Decimating these ley lines of time within my mind
The uncouth youth
I took a bite out of forbidden fruit
And now I’m ridden with the curse of truth
Yea I’m a troglodyte that’s stuck in his ways
Like troubled mice that are lost in a maze
Being content was nice for a phase
But imma subject my life to never change
I never knew the cost
The price of nothing
But it’s bringing me down yea it’s bringing me down and I
Never knew about that cost
Or about that dream
All I know is how the lies coming up
Taking over me
They said feel the lie
I said coming up my spine
They said that the shield wouldn’t take it all
Me apart
I’m stuck in a deadlock between two heads that talk off non stop
They pop off with obscene thoughts like a sawed off
With active reload and the more that I stagnate
The rate at which they bicker grows quicker
So I know that one’s gotta go
Which one gets a shot of the hemlock downed
I got a feeling I got a feeling
I’ll be leaving with one of the daemons
The first one whispers in my ear
The future is never clear
So stay safe soft sleeping in your shelter
Cause fate breaks off fleeing for your better
And with a sly grin the daemon trying to save his skin
So the other one chimes in
Of course it’s gonna look for a better
What you expect when you stuck and you fester
You gotta put pressure in your soul
How else are you gonna grow
The other daemon’s coming into defense it says
I offer other options for you to rest
Why stress when you can live life free from anxiety
Damn your dogmatic sense of piety
The other daemon interjects
With no due respect I think you’re leading me to a nameless death
I got a feeling I got a feeling
Like the life I’ve lived is the life I’ve loved
I got a feeling I got a feeling
Like the life I’ve loved is the one I’ll live
I got a feeling I got a feeling
Like the time is near and the time is nigh
I got a feeling I got a feeling
Like the time in now up to decide (two of the side)

Like a ray that fades
From bright to dark
