Observe and Perish

Callow debris, Sordid smokescreen
Careless flawless
Boardroom briefing, Leather seats-in-our
Vaunting sideshow
Witness to omega, Catch the eye of Eden
Transcendental terror, Cryptographic teasing
Break my face to end this, Bath of scorching sulphur
Now dear friend you'll learn, Just what it is to suffer
Shadows gather, Dust-framed matter
Condemnation,
Whispered violent, deafened silence
The eye of the maker will wink at the fallen
Observe
Perish

Cataclysmic Firestorm
07:18

Bring forth the horseman, unfurl this mortal coil
Reduce to ashes, from dirt to dust
Rushing, forth, saviour, comes
Cataclysmic firestorm
Feel the pyroclastic burn
Ground quakes with tectonic rage
Stray to the light become saved
Tidal horde with claim this earth
(Desperation)
Ending all human endeavour
(these lands enslaved)
Pestilent forsaken flies
(This is hopeless)
Cleanse the world of this infection
Kill, messiah
Kill, me, messiah
Dry, wasted, burnt, ash
Firely, saviour, chaos

The Last Straw

Reborn to a crimson sunrise
Child of the atomic age
Inhale such bitter silence
This sanctum now a cage
Words carved to mark the memories
As fire fell from the sky
New dawn eternal winter
Once bitten twice shy
Brains freeze
Eyes bleed
Fleshy
Striptease
My home, my hell
(Someone Save)
Immortal
Rule all I see
Ironic
Tyrant
Bollocks!
Save me from my misery
No one left except for me
Last one of humanity
Remorse an empty gesture
Lunch date with Socrates
I'll ask the deepest questions
Cocktails and Vaseline

State of Nature
08:15

Pages torn from history
Burnt and shed on soil
All stand bare and equal
Servant, serf and royal
Jaded little wanton
Solitary king
Hatred, greed and envy
Isolation brings
Where law has no meaning
When freedom is pure
Where motive and morals
Are shards of the past
The state of nature, is the state of war
[Grit your teeth and rub your eyes]
[Count your blessings then your knives]
Painted faces show no fear/tears
[An infection of the mind]
[So grotesque yet so sublime]
Clawing at the throats of shadows
Fear
Power
Entwined
The State of Nature
Is War
Must motive define me?
Bereft of a cause this solider slays?
Visceral high jinx
Pathetic resort of an embittered child
Reluctant disciples
Stigmatyred, unwilling to join this cause
Marching in circles
Bleeding and broken no end in sight
Belligerent nightmare
In chaos this pilgrim will stand alone
With thunder and lighting
Through storm clouds I see the unbroken skies
Dazed white surrounding
Still, a lifeless drone
Sounds of a free world fade to echoes
Taste, the lifeline drain
Oh my father, creator, protector
In your name we will rebuild and weather
Just save my soul, save our souls
Though our world is disfigured and battered
Ignorant we divided and scattered, now
Save our souls, save my soul

Sunshine

Clarity, of the normal day
Slipping, away
Broken, cascading
The mind scatters, on thoughts lamenting
Licking the ashes of pretenses
That turn to nothing
Sickened by views of the memories obscured
That are nothing
I thought it was over but it’s never over
The bitter contempt of my feelings resented
Just nothing
Light the lanterns
Lead the way home
Storms approaching
And I'm all alone
Swallowed by mud
Pour out my eyes
Swallow my tongue
Escape the highs
My minds obscure
No more feeling
Objects depart
Contort distort
I close my eyes
Open this mouth
