LYRICS
Ancient lamentations, the same story over again, reasons to justify, motives to sin,
Focus to know the undertow, influence grows, ages to learn, seconds to choose,
Acts of impulse, bound to lose, Tantalus, the decided path, mistaken thoughts, answered by wrath, illusions of ecstasy, for the blood of the calf,
Divine sorcery boiled down to simple math,
Alien sensations, the drop of your guard, mixtures beckon madness, inebriation turned to art, resistant voices, echo, conscious defending, convinced its love, i was only pretending,
Chemically altered, computed emotions, synthetic divinity, lysergic potions,
Just a mirage, a trick of the mind, gaze to the sun, along with the blind,
Blasphemy, enlightenment, delusional muse, frying my circuits, blowing a fuse,
Here and gone, never get it back, how many hits, stop keeping track,
Warped and cracked, dead flesh, turning black, sanity's trapdoor, the sneak attack,
THE ANCIENT LAMENTATIONS.

Ancient Lamentations

LYRICS
feel, the constant urge, full of substance, binge and purge,
take away what's given, just to see another world unfurl,
search the bottom of empty glass, again, find it never lasts,
taste the final drop just to remember the past,
fuck, the anger out, too fucked up to scream or shout,
fingers trace to stain my dreams, forbidden jewels begin to gleam,
senses blowing off some steam, forever in between,
your best intention, it was never clean.

possession of mortal blood, failure to seal the ever carnal flood

scrape, the top, deeper and deeper, find a good suck, before you run out of luck,
the bobbing of your head, can't erase that i'm fucked,
forever stuck, the honest dreams are harder to pluck.

possession of mortal blood, failure to seal the ever carnal flood,
the sacrament you choose will never be enough, declination,
the end of days has finally come

It's killing me, I'm killing myself, blame can't be reverted, by my hands this was dealt, sincerity aside, it has placed me in hell, I couldn't quite recall, the first step that i fell.

Founded in doubts, the blackening of clouds, salvation ignored, yet i knew i was bound, sensation, the sound, enveloped all around, the higher i get, the harder i fall to the ground.

Downfall

LYRICS
lights, camera, sustenance, gritting teeth show way to imprison good intent, promise of wealth, never to be, the spider's trap, the rotted feast, my body, my blood, misguided direction towards ecstasy, many wrong turns for my body to burn, tolerance from the effects to me, increasing to use, abuse, is all that i can see

is this what you call your home? withering inside your hole. face the demons, beckoning dark, face the blame for your part.

SPREAD TOO THINK, BLANK WITHIN, FIND AN EXCUSE TO SHED MY SKIN.

sacred path, leading to the grave, i'll perish with a grin on my face, haunted in my waking hour, every second made a slave.
these friends are not your friends, despite the games they will play, these friends are not your friends, despite the shit they will say.
i want out, i'm not who i used to be, corrupted life, smothers possibilities, searching for infinity, discovered my mortality, inside, the face is dark, enticed by racing hearts, a machine with rusted gears, i watch it fall apart

Blank Within

LYRICS
light, seems entered here, washing clean what’s so unclear,
curious, left behind, truth spills over, flooded glass,
trust in this all seeing I, not to die, what rests deep inside,
look too far wide, mental scars and forever fried,
risk it all for a semblance of,
life, the big long joke, choose to breathe what’s up in smoke,
negative, additives meant to choke, suffocate this dope,

“darwinism is here, put in place by global corporations, seeking to capitalize on your fears, insecurities and addicitons. they won’t stop until they’ve pocketed your money or your life.
educate yourselves now on the chemicals we ingest”

keep your eyes, wide open, the truth is seen and sorted, can’t afford it, I NEVER CAN

foolish means to an end, falling for it again, remove this blind to sin, [sin], with this council of kin, to never win, repetitive to the end, touch is feel, feel is sound, sound is hear, here is now.

oh this corruption, this corruption of our world.

the poisoning of youth, the spoiling of fruit, genetically designed children to be subdued, pull against the reigns, the fluoride in our brains, dont trust a word, give them nothing left to gain, the changing of times, generations to rise, freed of restraints, a tyranny’s demise.

Eternal Emanation
