Fractured and feeble with fright, A weakened will avails no mind Only serving to stir fearful delusion As man becomes beast and defies reason Discord - sown, through intention or confusion, a spore takes its root Delirium infesting, worming and gnawing when the will is weak Dissension eroding, walls of mind razed by perils of matter Derangement ensuing, synapse burst frenzy a violent reaction Self sabotaging Self preservation In the name of Purification Soul devouring Sanity consuming Vengeful retaliation Vindictive Decimation Thoughts of paranoia erupt with no feelings of doubt As panic induced euphoria - clots the mind We have no honour, when survival is at stake No sanctity of intention, when trust in your fellow man is erodedh It is true horror, that we - are so fallible and weak Amygdala, the daemon within the shell Child of the limbic doctrine, swallow this bitter pill We will never be anything more Despite our intentions we will always be pawns To the machinations of our evolutionary nature At the limits of our biology, we falter and crumble True horror is man Seen in the vast shadows cast By the violent fires burning within

veins pulse to the rhythm of war, coils of wrath twist beneath the skin Compelled into motion, dissidence manifests in kinetic form Existential aggravation incites percussive reaction Its not a choice, when survival demands action A necessary sacrifice Peace traded with blunted blows What cost is too high? When inaction leads to injustice and oppression? Stoking the fires of conflict Banners raised high The intoxication of defiance Stirring inside But what consequence comes when we are driven by rage? Obfuscation, contamination; of the purity of intention? Marching down the path of no return, to welcome ruin A calculated risk against the reward of retribution The call for rising fists to meet faces of oppressors What is an acceptable measure of violence to counter a reign of terror In an hour of need There is no denying - our nature that compels us So wield it in defiance In the swelling fires of conflict (Conflict) Sparks fly between the clashing of barbed fists Blood soaked knuckles as bone breaches flesh (Breaches Flesh) Bruised egos weep for the glory of vengeance In the fever of hate The vengeful voices cry out "The cowards must be hanged"

Zero Sum 01:17
We worship a crumbling edifice In the golden age of excess Try as we might to curb our consumption We are allured by the next revolution Commodities and consumption, tired tropes of revelation You've heard this same speech again and again Digesting Innovative Resplendent Replacements Media saturation of our failing nations Clichés Spat from the podium of idealism Another cynic spouting truisms The inevitable conclusion of our unchecked consumerism is our complete and total entanglement on conditional systems of security ensuring our dependence to a failing structure of support Generation by generation Resources will diminish inflation suffocates us We all drown in the rising costs Zero fucking sum

Kneel on mangled knees at the feet of zealous sadists Ruptured Flesh splits open spilling the crimson waste trembling, Still your cowering, this is self appointed penance Beset by scourging lashes from all angles the whips shall fall Whimpering wreck, prostrate and take these blows Smashed down and beaten, atonement in submission Precise and merciless, flagellation scourge this soul Desperate to vindicate, to redeem Every strike leaves mounting scars and bloody gashes “Anoint me in these righteous bruises These scars of absolution” Each slash hardens and callouses Every stinging wound crusts like a shell Bit by bit, flesh turns to iron Rigid in a permanent state of dejection "You are deserving of every vile act of hatred" Tormenting thoughts Parasitically feed on remorse Engorged on the flagellates crimson spilling's Teeth bury deeper with each manic thrashing "You are a worthless cretin, not a man but a beast" Unable to break these cycles of guilt The defeatist desperately cries “This is all we are And all we'll ever be Its all you'll ever be” It's not that things cannot change, it's just never in a significant way This is a fatalistic prophecy A defeatists pervasive ideology Yearn to define yourself as something more Than a slave to your impulses A creature capable of reform “This is all we are And all we'll ever be Its all youll ever be”

Delere Opus dei My brethren I sing a song of joyful wrath A sermon of vitriol and gleeful rejection This is a ceremony of righteous cleansing Celebrate and eliminate Your weakness and regression Loosened from the thorny noose Fall free and feel the stinging winds Scour your newborn skin Salt upon sinew, and bile upon sin When faced with an epoch of nothingness One loses themselves to despair All hope is abandoned In the presence of an empty infinity Open your eyes Know the lonely expanse of nothingness Embrace the bitterness of this existence My shell has been moulded By the calloused hands of fate No deity, no god Created me in his image Non est Opus dei Yearning for meaning in unequalled measure This ache sewn into the fabric of our desires The weight of choice, the mortal chains A existence defined through pain And all that will be contrived Is a product of a will to survive A sack of skin made for with no intrinsic purpose A writhing wretch flailing about beneath the empty sky Gnawed by thoughts of worthlessness and feelings of despair Shed your rotted chrysalis, emerge in a spiteful victory
