[Rot]

Like rot, it spreads
With widespread support
Eroding rights of the marginalised
Oppression met with rapturous applause
The overton window has shifted
So far beyond comprehension
The lives of people are not up for debate
You soulless husks

Rot
Rot

We have killed you before
Slaughtered your kind
We need to go back to that mindset
Where it wasn't up for discussion
To be intolerant of intolerance
Bad faith, obtuse arguments
Disingenuous waste of flesh
Fuck your discourse

Now you rot
Now you rot
Now you rot

[Warming Decay]

Unable to move
Trapped and restrained
It spreads through contact
Am I to be a part of this?

There must be something I can do
To prize my skin apart
Separate my flesh from this mass
Or let it embrace me

It is beautiful
Is it not?
Life is beautiful
Is it not?

When the time comes
Let it go
Decay along with us
Let it go

It would be preferable
To have you with us
We are at least together
A festering puddle

A bond that cannot be broken
Congealed, stench-ridden ichor
Together an improvement
Unity

[Summoning a Pestilent Tide]

Grow
Grow big, grow strong
Rise my beautiful child
Black out the sun

Wash
Away
Purge the faithful
Cleanse
The world
Anew, my sweetheart

Crash!
Crash down!
Blessed waters!
Crash!
Crash down!
Pestilent tides!

Fester
Churn and simmer
Seethe and boil
Draw back, swell

Scour
Absolve
Unadulterated
Absolute
Depuration
Pristine macrocosm

Crash!
Crash down!
Blessed waters!
Crash!
Crash down!
Pestilent tides!

You grew
Grew big, grew strong
All encompassing
You are my world

[Wormlord]

Hail!
Well met traveller!
Present yourself and be known to this court

You show your fealty,
To become recognised in this region
You best tread lightly, walk with caution

You are a thought?
A faint murmor?
Arising within the miasma of our consciousness

You are not welcome
Within this court
Your prescence is most foul, most unpleasant

You find yourself in the court of our wormlord
Cast your gaze around, admire the splendour of your surroundings
Can you even fathom what it took to build this?
Can you possibly even imagine what your prescence can do?

You bring with you anxiety and uncertainty
The very foundations of this place depend on your mind
Chaos cannot be welcomed, nor is it even tolerated
This vassal must ask for your insecurities to leave

Out! Out!
Begone with you!
You sully this hall just by existing!
You do not know what you've done!

The fragile balance that held this court together
You have thrown to the wind
By introducing new thoughts
You seek to usurp our lord?

[Wizard Bastard]

Cast your spell
Weave your words
Inscribe your runes
Contrive your elixirs

All hail to you wizard bastard!
Glory to you wizard bastard!
Relish this victory wizard bastard!
All hail to you wizard bastard!

Fabricate your reagents
Beckon your elementals

All hail to you wizard bastard!
Glory to you wizard bastard!
Relish this victory wizard bastard!
All hail to you wizard bastard!

Weave your words
Cast your spell

[Obligatory Symbiosis]

Worthless parasites
Bloodsucking leeches

Suckling on surplus value
Feeding on our lifeblood
The parasite is revered
An abomination

Obligatory symbiosis
You think this is voluntary?
What part of starving is voluntary
What part of homelessness is voluntary?

Worthless parasites
Bloodsucking leeches
Crush the capitalist pig
Feast on swine

If one is to feed
Let it be us to feed on you
Eat the rich
Savour the taste

Come carnivores
Come all hungry
Come one come all
Devour a better world

[Withering Thoughts]

I crumble as time weathers this meat prison
The sands of time erode, forging new cracks upon this facade
With ink laden needles I prick at the skin
To make the best of a bad situation

My thoughts as susceptable to the ravages of time
I'm starting to lose trust in my own judgement
What concerned me as a youth now rears its head in progressed age
But I must be responsible, must think and consider the effects upon my scion

My gender identity is no longer a constant
It's as confusing to me as well, as I seek to unravel this mess
I resent and reject masculinity, it was never a part of who I am
A toxic crutch used in self-defence

I want nothing more than to reject the binary
Nothing more than strict abolition of gender norms
It is a yoke we have all borne for too long
Stifling expression and identity
The burden of generations of expectations
Following the traditions of a corpse

It's no longer an option to seek to be who I am inside
Seeking a chemical change to progress the process
I'll just have to give up those thoughts
I'm stuck with my lot

[Toothless]

I am pathetic
What I once held myself up to be, I am not
A corruption of my former self
Unsurpassing the lowest of expectations

It was believed that I would maintain control
Preserve at least a modicum of mastery
But once again I fail to pass muster
Pitiful lack of convictions

Utterences of radical beliefs
Strong words spoken, unflinching purity
Collapsing in the face of resistance
Crippled by unease, disquiet, and uncertainty

Whisper quiet, feint smile, acceptance
Allowing principles to falter
Like the disgusting yellow stumps in my mouth
I have been broken down over time

Bite back at the oppressors
Bloodied stumps, gums, fractured teeth
Gnaw away, gnaw deep
Pierce the skin
Draw blood
Bite back at the oppressors
Bloodied stumps, gums, fractured teeth
Gnaw away, gnaw deep
Pierce the skin
Draw blood

A perfect wretch
Unfit to even remain
A worm with even less a spine
A blight, a curse, a lowlife

I will remove myself from your sight
I will remove myself from your sight
I will remove myself from this fight
I will remove myself from your sight

[Devouring a God]

Up, in the heavens
Sits a man, what else could he be?
Lording over creation
Dictating from up high

Breaking him down, slicing his veins, carve off the meat, devour this god
Breaking him down, slicing his veins, carve off the meat, devour this god
Breaking him down, slicing his veins, carve off the meat, devour this god
Breaking him down, slicing his veins, carve off the meat, devour this god

Above, in the world beyond
Discrimination is tolerated
There is no place for queers like me
You call this your paradise?

No entry for the sinner
A sin as benign as being in love
To lay with a man as you would a woman?
To present as yourself?

Breaking him down, slicing his veins, carve off the meat, devour this god
Breaking him down, slicing his veins, carve off the meat, devour this god
Breaking him down, slicing his veins, carve off the meat, devour this god
Breaking him down, slicing his veins, carve off the meat, devour this god
Breaking him down, slicing his veins, carve off the meat, devour this god

[Perpetuity]

A ceaseless march onwards, ever onwards
This work has gone on for far, far too long

Seeking perfection, an unobtainable goal?
Stretching patience thin

An abundance lacking refinement
A burden created for myself

Losing focus, blacking out
Reaching the limits of ability


Not to strike gold
But to seize the moment
It is all I have ever wanted
To create for the sake of creation

To form a conduit
Break the seal and let it flow
Wave upon wave it flows out
Until it all comes crashing down

FUCK IT
JUST DO IT
QUIT STALLING
FINISH IT

COMPLETE IT
WHAT YOU STARTED
RECORD IT
FINISH IT

I CAN'T
IT'S BROKEN
LOCKED UP
IT'S SEALED

CREATIVE
BLANK
RUN DRY
GET IT OUT

Beyond even success
It's a matter of attrition
Am I to be defeated
By my own creation?

Did I bite off more than I can chew?
Is it even any good?
I am bound to disappoint everyone
Even if that is only a handful

As I march on these broken legs
A new dirge repeats in my head

Spirit broken, soul weary
Bruised, beaten and abused

Put in this place by reckless ambition
A victim to my own devices

Where the hands succeeded the voice failed
Better spoken through string

TOO FAR
I'VE TRAVELLED
TOO MUCH
I'VE INVESTED

IT CANNOT FAIL
IT CANNOT
I WON'T ALLOW IT
FINISH IT

FINISH WHAT
IT'S NOTHING
IT'S SHIT
MY VOICE

THIS IS
STUCK
IN
PERPETUITY

[Martyr]

Fire!
Thrown in anger, frustration
A soul that is beaten and broken
Trapped within this grotesque machine

Take action!
Burn the buildings
Free the captives
Lay waste to these facilities

Liberate!
Monstrous beings lie within
Subjugating families, children
Never again we told ourselves

Rise!
Rise!
Rise!
Distrupt their operations!

Rise!
Rise!
Rise!
Set flame to these buildings!

Fire!
Thrown in anger, frustration
A soul that is beaten and broken
Trapped within this grotesque machine

Liberate!
Monstrous beings lie within
Subjugating families, children
Never again we told ourselves
