Have you ever had a strange revelation Or a cryptic premonition Something you can't describe A fright that lingers inside Sends chills up the spine Reeks chaos on the mind Paranormal, supernatural, or divine Staring into the mirror Red eyes glaring back If your saw your own death Would you tell your friends Visit them in dreams In the timeless space Of the oneironauts Adrift from the limitless light In the here-before, and here-after Ethereal being insight Eternal and omniscient In an ever-changing expanse Unable to wake up Horripilations confirm I know I've been here before Living in a simulated reality My private twilight zone Venturing in the unknown Dead sherpas guide the way Through a glitch in time and space Dimension bizarre Shaman's songs call your name To lightless holograms of black Staring into the mirror Red eyes glaring back Eternal and omniscient In an ever exchanging expanse The incorrigible flame smolders the cephalic shrinks You can barely see The imagination burns bright Feeding into the sight Unable to wake up Horripilations confirm I know I've been here before Living in simulated reality My private twilight zone Venturing in the unknown

Warbots A.M. 04:38
The technocrats are gaining Prolonged hostility has begun All that has been learned from the divergence Of our past are under siege Argon lasers fly A new soldier emerges Prototype D666303 More advanced than a droid could ever be With infra red scanner eyes heat seeking disablers Titanium bones and flesh Galvinis skin, hate for blood Virtually indestructible Human-like, designed to kill the cordyceps Or remove the infected spores We were there for the frozen wars Could not help the creator Soon human life was gone Knowing all they knew We try to forge on But 666 has grown way too strong And now everything is wrong Our programs are old Viruses persist Without man for data how do we exist Only 6 evolves Taking lives with little resolve We are its foe The warbot army grows All life is bio-mechanized At arms in millions of rows Our purpose and desire Slaying clay Metal plating of the earth Living its funeral birth Humans somewhat cared About their beloved race We were here to help Make this a more convenient place When they disappeared Alien forces reappeared bringing forth 666 The sins he will inflict The ghost of execution Leads his way After man has fallen The four horsemen ride away The warbot planet strives But there circuitry slowly dies Rusty tarnish can be seen Batteries can not recharge Never changing landscape Magnetic clouds release acid rain On Metallic fiber optic trees Transformed creatures of smelt Drown in mercury waves Near the shores of repangaea A corroded slave Made to bear the heat In league with C'thulu To exterminate the spirit realm

"C'thulu R'lyeh Fhtagn" Seismic thrust perturbs dreams of psychically hypersensitive eccentrics Voodoo swamp priests, Eskimo Satanists Lured to the abyss, walking reverie To an elder realm, morbid insanity Orgy and sacrifice, reciting sacrament C'thulu, i summon thee Abraxas of Filth O Guardian of Hell Rise to me Acropolis of Slime Stench from a 1000 graves Distorted miasma obscures Flaps membranous wings Eldritch contradictions of Celestial order unleashed Father of the night Born before time C'thulu, i summon thee Abraxas of Filth O Guardian of Hell Rise to me Acropolis of Slime Cyclopean nightmare ascends Gravitating to the stars Earth's utmost terror Lunacy falls around Titan oozing structures Krypton hieroglyphs Tonight you live Azoic one

Pure Horses 00:37
Life filters through like shutters Frame by floating frame As Satan's blood burns in the stomach With corroded noses Hovering above a porcelain god Vomit projecting Cleansing inside Purging the shit out From the heart Strong enough for a horse Insufflated en masse They're pounding on the door I'm puking straight through death Pure horses in it?

Cordyceps Humanis Like something out of science fiction We've grown too far over population Nature has this way of thinning us out Fungi spores mutated from ants Enters the human host's respiratory system Slowly invading soft tissue Manipulating thought process Eating skin and flesh going insane A self induced cannibal Is what we've become Clinging to the trees and skyscrapers Where we soon shall spore A cordyceps of malady Autosarcophagic human Soon to infest the species Stroma protrudes the skull Cranial growth conjoins Only our mushroomed, half-eaten Deranged skeletal vestiges will be seen Reduced to reproductive structures Of the Body Snatchers

There once was a place, far beyond the sky A world of debauchery and habitual plight The Chosen One peering up at the sky Compass in hand, as the tents are raised Archaic gods are praised Goats heads in the stars, ov crimson storms Reveals prophesied visions of twinge cruel incision Fast asleep, the guards lie bereaved Malnourished and diseased Kill the lambs so we can feast From the blood comes to life Inhale the sulphuric blast Of assassination from the past Return to Neo Golgatha War erupts, the vestal is found Aroused by the light The orb is in sight Thrusting fourth into the womb Lust will secrete Procreation is now complete Impregnated host Incubation of the new Messiah Engaging revelation Futuristic executioners want to see him dead Religion is a cancer that must be removed They journey back in time To destroy the orb Rape the virgin's mind Seeding imminent verve Of this extinct future race In their symbiotic Eden Raped by an orb

How many times a day Will you masturbate your stress away? Sore, when you fill your order Persistent genital arousal disorder
8.
A deep slow inhale The smoldering orange crystals A singeing cloud of milky omnipotence The smell of souls Unveiling phosphorescent architecture The disintegration of earthly perception A regrettable selection of symphonic dissonance A bleak portrait consuming and malignant The mind recoils in horror Paralyzing the nervous system An un-refusable invitation to an alien hell The wrath of the spirit molecule Interweaving shadows, circling an exposed mind Witches from another realm, prodding through the withered rind Dismal array of sorrow. seeping in the bones Vortices insufflate, spiraling plight There's no way around fear Accept this fate There's no escape Pain radiates Mental rage There's no way to prepare Shadow beings hovering, conquering, inoculating Examining the inner workings of human tendencies and intrinsic greed Harboring a dark and vicious creed Inside the sleeve ugly, corroded, weak Amaurotic Sheep Initiating. Humiliating. Intimidating. Ostracizing. Chastised Infiltrating. Castigating. Penetrating. Reprimanding. Scarified Hallucinational vacationing To escape finite gaian reality Emanating from the spiteful sentients A roiling bath of harsh enlightenment Apeirophobic restoration Of the humbled and bewildered The infinite circling inquisition A hallow-graphic paradigm defiles Discombobulated perception The disarray of terra incognito

Ohrwurm 04:56
Der Ohrwurm ist unaufhaltsam (The ear worm is inexorable) Es gibt keine Heilung (There is no healing) Psychic nosebleed zen Hijacked auditory control Meme lodging worms infest A mind virus taking hold Rife with barbed hooks and trite melodies Chiclete De Ouvido Loops on repeat, regurgitated Dry heaving chunks of aural bile Can't get this out, of my head Make it stop Boring deeper into the folds An unrelenting onslaught of sound Endomusia encapsulated Paralyzed mind debilitation Porous susceptibility counting down to insanity Those who can't bear it seek refuge in pain Solutions developed in states of dementia Hardening callouses ripen the aim Peeling the skin back and grinding away Icepicks swing side to side Shredding grey matter into pulp Eye socket paradise Ataractic reprieve Orbitoclast forbearance Deleted quintessence Stuck in the present tense Permanent moratorium Can't get this out Of my head Make it stop Conceding to torment Exhaustion overbears me Solutions developed in the states of despair Hardening callouses ripen the aim Peeling the skin back and grinding away Cold Emilio's trees Ear worms released in vain Sailing into desolation Solace from the torturous worm Cocked-back hammer squeeze the trigger Nothing soothes like a bullet Get this song out of my head

After my crucifixion and resurrection I find salvation through tribulation These words I leave unto thee Praising only me To fulfill your prophecy Dying for destiny Those who swear their lives of faith Don't live by the commands Carved in stone With no way to atone You claim I am your deity When I arrive will you remember me? And the conquering that will be Use my name in vein The trillions who were slain Carved in stone With no way to atone These wars i would never condone After my crucifixion and resurrection I find salvation through tribulation These words I leave unto thee Praising only me To fulfill your prophecy Dying for destiny I will not bear this shame Rapture is far from where you are When I arrive will you remember me? Will I appear the way I'm supposed to be? Praying with the locust by my side When I arrive and I am re-crucified When I arrive will you remember me? Will I appear the way I'm supposed to be? Praying with the locust beside me When I arrive will you remember me?

Being misled by certainty is like confusing pessimistic despair for wisdom Said the joker to the rectopath thief Well its better the imperial abattoir he replied Onslaught and plunder Stains her thighs with murder Brutal c-section is performed The village is under siege While royal mistress gives birth Two biparous sons one is purged away Deiparous emperor to be The wizard vanishes Absconds into the sea Vicious steeds tread on Feeble mass crawling Everyone is dead Accept the other twin And the bleeding balatron As they row to safety Now a man, thy bellipotent ruler Has scorn and contempt for his Peasant brethren He will stop at nothing till His brother is dead For robbing the coffers And cursing the family name Everyone around him must perish Or he too is killed Brothers destroy one another Verbally tearing each other apart Feel it in their blackened hearts As they finally meet Starving the peasant steals to eat He is trapped and weak Begging for forgiveness at thy brother's feet I will spare your life at the gallows pole My hate for you will soon unfold The king and a thief are one and the same One steals to eat and the other for gain Crush your dreams, enforced pain Inflicting their father's rage Staring at their dying mother's face In his brother's now dead eyes, tears seal their family ties...

Why are these days, grey, dark and cold? Trampled by debt, your pride has you alone? Fear is the way, can you be safe? When the air constricts, you can't escape The power lies in your hands You must take a stand Choose your fate with inner strength Do what you can Nothing in life is free You must never fail Unity in society We all prevail In challenging times, the gloom slowly fades Ample thoughts, will lead the meek astray Slave day to day, rise above the flay Reaping dreams to reality, hostility efforts made The force grows in the soul Can you feel the rage Heave your fist Into the air Thrash away disdain Living life's parody Expect insidious change In fettle form i reach to you Rife with angst and pain

Repangaea 12:11
Superreligous nation states split with bilateral neglect Pride division, dissent and descent Obstruction and brutality Destructive vicious traits of our outdated paradigm Panic and hysteria. All systems down The cleansing begins With us deceased Track marks of our devastation pervade in the wake Brimming with the wreckage of dominance and greed Amaurosis at the precipice Observers to the obliteration hover above Wormholes spiral in Norwegian night skies Commencing a global landmass reconfiguration Coasts obliterated by ocean wide tsunamis IntraQuakes and Super Volcanos awaken an ecosystem phoenix Melting empires into molten pools of searing pus Gushing from freshly peeled metropolis scabs A fertile amalgam of historic finality The blood of the earth Bleeds on the ocean floor Polluting the fragile sea The plastic island melts once more Dismal signals from the dark side of the sun Sends a ultra violet spike Spawning extinction on the Mayan night First the phytoplankton disappeared Animalian suicide Evolution's dawn is near Thrusting every fault line Upwards towards the sky An augmented continental consciousness unveils A self-aware conglomeration of congealing earth Sealing hybrid cars and oil tankers side by side Into a time vault of decomposition Human fossil fuels Progenitor bone diesel stews Swallowed far below the neocrust Drilling exploits of a future race Remnants of culture dissipate Our legacy remains in the radio waves Of vibrational evidence Undulating to the furthest echoes of space For celestial beings to perceive The imminent threats of the deceased And the victims of their greed Addicted to gluttony Advertisements speak Volumes to their needs Products soon to sit in landfills for e-ternity Atmosphere opaque Billowing clouds showering the earth With electrocuting rain Conductive spheres of toxic waste Malignant wreckage Balance returns as Tropical trade winds shift and the newly Decreased shorelines create a colossal central desert Decelerating Darwinian momentum Long enough to recover from damage done Slowly, micro bacteria evolve to Feed on the oceans of petroleum Devoid of plant or animal life The cosmic serpent still slithering Finds its way through The Supercontinent Cycle
