AWAKEN THE ANCIENTS
Plight of the tyrants, prevail over mankind
Deliberate confusion, manipulate the blind
Misfortunate souls, powerless and weak
Shepherd the cattle, through poetic speech
False deities parade before the meek
Upon their pulpits, they preach
Bound to the fate of your own direction
Progenies judged by their own discretion
A predetermined reckoned heresy
Ascendancy through salvation
To ensnare others in negation
Your eternity will be spent in damnation
Extreme factions revolt and retaliate
Exact tactical assaults to dominate
Erupting legions with molten disgust
Expelling the fury results in blood lust
Mislead, abandoned; we feel betrayed
Resulting in an imminent vehement response
Images of despair penetrate the mind
Your monolithic church; a vicarious daemon to find
Spewing scriptures of false erudition
Pressured to litany for lustration
Burned bodies lay glowing with red embers
As smoke scorches the skies unremembered
Mass graves are filled with the perished
As crucified martyrs remain admonished
Unwilling to adapt to this criterion
Constrained by the facade normalcy
Unable to resist the simulacrum
Consider the solve of antipathy
Trumpets sound, spirits abound
To bear witness, for breaking ground
Beckoned entities emanate translucently
Awaken the Ancients
The ability fractured to appear upon the surface
Abet the damned, hind condemnation
The transformation, beyond creation
To call unto thee
O shapeless specters
Evoked to rise; Arise!
Awaken the Ancients

PAIN LEADS TO NOTHINGNESS
Channeling all disgust
Misplaced ambitious lust
Gives cause to transform
So depart from this platform
Abolished in disgrace
Compelled to aberrate
It's better to end thy life,
Than to remain asunder.
Looking towards all strife,
Absolution reflects encumbered
Observe the soul,
Calculating countless strategies.
From great heights,
Offering numerous possibilities.
Determining their fatal demise
Taking action to sever all ties
Staring off into oblivion
Thy blade singing in the sun
Slicing deep like a pendulum
Expelling life, a definitive continuum
Losing hold from mortalities grasp
Hurling towards everlasting wrath
Deflecting between converging schism
Obliterate thyself from expected derision
Solace yearns, as all turns black
Never to return, never to come back
I can't wait to die, falling through the sky
Tightening my eyes, my mind breaking.
As i hit the ground, salvation is found
Hearing my last sound, so it begins!

To Depths Unknown

TO DEPTHS UNKNOWN
Unparalleled quandary
Delineated by a universal paradigm
Questions spun of quarrel
To seek beyond this realm divine
Irresolute infinity
In the deepest chasm of the soul
Harrowing relentlessly
Betrayed by gravity
Frantically falling, flailing to and fro
Eternal quagmire of the blackness
Consuming all I have ever known
Plunging further into the abyss
Aetherial; void of flesh and bone
Molecular transmogrification
Fragmented and reconstructed
Cytoplasmic evolution
Annex spectral embodiment
Seething entities are writhing past
The sightless seams of my existence
Dark spirits are stirring abound
Shifting inhuman form.
Your fate a supplement to restore
The mana of subsistence
Time’s Ancients surrounding
In a dissolution storm
A strange sensation is felt
Descend unto my sights
To depths unknown
I have succumbed to my fate
Destined toward my plight
Descend unto my sights
To depths unknown
I have succumbed to my fate
Without fear, the darkness drones

OBSOLARIUM
Plenary of the mind
Divested intuition
Unbound by material realms
Incognizant of all opinion
Oblivious to their treachery
Confined within this obsolarium
A boundless vortex
Surpassing mortal awareness
Impervious to all temptations
Vivifying emptiness
Surcease percipience
Dogmatic vacuity
Of a vestige remnant form
Movement irrelevant
Evolve beyond inference
Extend beyond ethereal
Bereft of chroma
Intrinsic existence
Merging with the macrocosm

USHERED BY CHARON
Awoken from insensate
Alerted to morphing foreign environs
Atop of a broken precipice looking
Aghast upon a sea of desolation
Observing endless droves
Of imprisoned aimless souls
Leads to the river Styx waters entangle
The foredoomed lured to inveigle
An ancient mariner scullers near
Their vessel propelled by inflamed oar
Charon: warden of the wretched
Charon: a sordid disheveled specter
Son of Erebus and Nyx
Breaching the shoreline
For the approaching voyagers
A mean-spirited, foreboding entity
Torn rags adorned their obscene torso
Ushering the anathematized
Between the nether worlds divide
Of the living and forgotten souls
An excursion athwart this realm
A debt of torment and agony
Consuming each fare to be replete of energy
In the distance, other farriers of souls
Are venturing off in opposing directions
Derailed from crossing the planes divide
Trapped, impaled within the treacherous voids
Between the nether worlds to remain forevermore
As I take a step towards
Charon: a shepherd of specters
Charon: with igneous glaring eyes
The cursed incapable of requitance
Left to wander with unwavered persistence
A hundred years but a day
The impure with no coin to pay

Planes Divide

PLANES DIVIDE
Shifting between the planes divide
Surpassing gateways, as worlds collide
Tormented by thee sinister appellants
Crossing hellish tides with power impellent
Draconian hellions; celestial obsidian
Dwelling, lurking, reaching, seizing
Dripping with sin
As beneath, so beyond
Evil incites this immortal bond
Enchanted by the flux of the river
Seduced towards with desire aquiver
Leaning in, mirage breaks with a grasp
And engulfs thee into a swarm like an asp
Fighting and drowning against sodden souls
Choking on water as they pull towards the shoal
Swim to the barge; escaping this canal of carrion
To venture towards thy fate down the Acheron
In sufferance, a distinct sound
Through the mist; this isle mound
Necropia lies yonder bound
Waves of plasma mercilessly flow
Thrashing through spectral undertow
Unwavering onwards, the oarsman rows
Abroad this cosmic sea of obscurity
Entranced souls slowly bled for eternity
As the seraphim falls, Mephistopheles manifests

Absentia

ABSENTIA
Transfixed by the transmogrification
Enshrouded with hallucinations
Whisper supremacy
Darkness envelopes thee
Subjugate into a hypnotic trance
Succumbed by mired dreams
Nothing is as it seems; in absentia
Malevolent ancients orchestrate
Deceiving thine path of will
Imprisoned forever or until
Ascension unto thy kingdom
Descend into the infernal abyss
Eternal infliction endured
Mercilessly bestowed upon
Merely a pawn in this menagerie
Competing against the opposition's rules
Unsuspecting voyageurs are incapable
To fathom this reality
A test of thine own will to fight or flight
Sharp talons clasp at failure’s plight
Succumbed by mired dreams
Nothing is as it seems; in absentia
Giveth thy will; of abolished beliefs
In absentia; give into disbelief
Thy prayers go unheard
To whom doth thou speak?
Purity for the damned
As demons come, angels fall

DEPARTING ACHERON
Welcome, we’ve been waiting for you
To unearth these forlorn lands
Riddled with prolonged suffering
Crimson storms whirl above desolate shores
Enthralled by the isle’s mysterious yore
Entranced by structures of lusters gold-laced
Gothic tombs carved into thy mesa face
The damned scale the precarious staircase
Breath of the unknown awaits this foul place
Oozing souls spew from ghoulish spouts
A failed requiem
Sentinels post neath arches of a spired light
An ominous place cloaked in a timeless night
A veil pulled down slowly; shattered to pieces
To bid farewell finally to delusioned anamnesis
Enamored by the ignis fatuus lure
Enticed within to pursue the spoor
White noise fills your thoughts like a dream
Details of your visions become crystalline
Unable to identify the source
Disinclined to ignore the temptation
Drawn towards an unknown force
Surpassing your worst apprehensions
Closed mortal eyes
Open your eternal mind
Release it to us now
This deafening silence so hypnotizing
Stepping off to a realm so mesmerizing
Acceptance towards wonders so dispelling
Ancients surround this domain so compelling
