There was a day when man gazed skyward
He peered to the skies which ignited his spirit
Fragments of light pierced the night and inspired
Him to overcome the dark, to no longer fear it

So sets the crusade
So begins his quest
Becoming more than man
Evolving to gods

Approaching the stars, we would learn to unite
Whether we're alone or drowning in life

Crawling from the sea, 
Clawing to the desolation
Imagine what we would be
If faced with no limitation

An intuition tells us that something is there
A simple equation says that there's life everywhere

We have harnessed the atom and the heart
We have died to become strong and smart
Entrenched in darkness our entire lives
Conquering all so our kind may thrive

Approaching the stars, we would learn to unite
Whether we're alone or drowning in life

Our intuition tells us that something is there
A simple equation says that there's life everywhere

Our path has led us through pain and grief
Our trials by fire have hardened our belief
No matter what we might find, we venture beyond
Maybe someday, a voice will respond you are not alone

Billions and billions
Eons ahead and eons ago
Bathing in the cosmic brilliance
Waiting for us to know

Crawling from the sea, 
Clawing to the desolation
Imagine what we would be
If faced with no limitation

Emerging from the source
Pondering our origins
Metamorphosis into a force
A tale of conquest begins

Given enough time, 
Hydrogen begins to wonder 
Where it came from 
And where it is going 

Emerging from the source
Pondering our origins
Metamorphosis into a force
A tale of conquest begins

Sentience

A wilting garden in the mind
Starves itself to feel alive

With ceasing so close, the line begins to blur
Though we tread so near we still find ourselves unsure
A cleanliness that transcends all words, all thoughts, all will
Submerged in sacred aether and kindly immolated in the tranquil

Under starlight
Together we share
Congruent lines
Yet we're unaware

Amid mortal
Shackles it's by right
That we pass
Into the uncharted night

Into stone we carve great praise of the peace of which we sing
Unparalleled in the purity; the silence death can bring

Trying to die again
Dying to live again

Drawing near to darkened frontiers
We will not remain
Still our paths stand unclear
We will not remain

Bestowed to us upon our extinction
A stillness uttered in the tongue of oblivion

Trying to die again
Dying to live again

With ceasing so close, the line begins to blur
Though we tread so near we still find ourselves unsure
A cleanliness that transcends all words, all thoughts, all will
Submerged in sacred aether and kindly immolated in the tranquil

Drawing near to darkened frontiers
We will not remain
Still our paths stand unclear
We will not remain

There's Purity in The Silence Only Death Can Bring

Keeping in time with degrading minds
Forming a line and becoming benign
Demonize ideals with outcries
Criminalized opinions and lies

We are decaying at an alarming rate
Finding that language is something to abrogate
We're approaching the point of no return
There's no functioning conclusion to discern

Staying true to rules self imposed
Safety in silence with ethics disposed
Stowing away morality undisclosed
Lying and hiding for fear of the truth exposed

Steep in a language so injurious
I find myself furious

Superficial outrage at communication
Overreactions hide deadly motivation
Kicking and screaming for parity
Calling for punishment with no sincerity

It'll be a sad day when we come to see
That mankind is its own worst enemy

A Path of Human Wreckage

No peace...

I am the darkness
Slithering obsidian
Adorned in knives
Assassin of peace

I live to purge
I am Ultor
Nothing will last
I am Ultor

Awakened in shadows
I seek to decimate
Deception, betrayal
No one stands in my wake

Learn to fear me as you've learned to fear the night
Begin to regret your lives in the face of my might
I take no pity on your wretched worthless lives
Reflect on your disgusting history as nothing survives

No... peace...

There will be nothing again
The error of your ways
Brought to light inside
The inferno by my hand

I live to purge
Nothing will last
Prepare to die for
I am Ultor


Ultor

Ketamine

I have found a way
To surge through the threshold
I am the curse
A wanderer uncontrolled

Born of inexplicable periphery
The natural order of mutation
Unspeaking voice of flesh and misery
The epitome of pervasion

My passage between
Such veracities
Such infinities
Wears upon me

I find my self (falling)
I see my self (dying)
I know my self (fading)
I dread my self (conscious)

My passage between
Such veracities
Such infinities
Wears upon me

I find my self (falling)
I see my self (dying)
I know my self (fading)
I dread my self (conscious)

Towering giant of pulsing teeth and claws
Gnashing and shrieking at the skyline
Anomalous, insipid organic ascendant's jaws
Demigod of carnage and blight, venomous paradigm

Voyager of nightmares
I've witnessed such atrocity

Born of inexplicable periphery
The natural order of mutation
Unspeaking voice of flesh and misery
The epitome of pervasion

Virulent universe 
Swarming gasoline
Misplaced limbs adorn cursed
Cathedrals of a skeletal machine

Every instance of space
Inundated with warnings
Speaking to my very core
By living I am trespassing

Smoldering halos
Adorning masses of bone
Churning ashen sky
This is fucking hell

I find my self (falling)
I see my self (dying)
I know my self (fading)
I dread my self (conscious)

Granted sustenance from the suffering 
Drawn life force from the firmament
Swollen mound of organic matter pulses
To the rhythm of strange damnation

Strange damnation
Strange damnation

Surrealist Dichotomy

A cursed hand, waves across, a guilty face, unwritten command
Malignant, it signs, an ancient tongue, calling forth, and awakens the mind

Filling his lungs with the wrath of the sun
Destroying their will as a vessel of death
Feasting on ash as their world is undone
A purge to cleanse with every searing breath

Living
Breathing
Thinking
Weapon

Igniting his surroundings
Consuming the embers of enemies
Fueled by the fallen, driven to incinerate
Conscious thought demands only to annihilate

Living volcano 
Hateful inferno

Igniting his surroundings
Consuming the embers of enemies
Fueled by the fallen, driven to incinerate
Conscious thought demands only to annihilate

Behind the blaze, spiteful eyes, unfaltering, molten demise
Deep inside, a nuclear heart, beats like a bomb, tearing apart

Incarnation of hell
Watched as everything fell
Summoned to combust
And left us all as dust

Igniting, living to cleanse
Devoured, his purpose ends
Blinding light from a wrath he expelled
In his wake a blaze that cannot be quelled

Igniting

There was a day when man gazed skyward
He peered to the skies which ignited his spirit
Fragments of light pierced the night and inspired
Him to overcome the dark, to no longer fear it

So sets the crusade
So begins his quest
Becoming more than man
Evolving to gods

Approaching the stars, we would learn to unite
Whether we're alone or drowning in life

Crawling from the sea, 
Clawing to the desolation
Imagine what we would be
If faced with no limitation

An intuition tells us that something is there
A simple equation says that there's life everywhere

We have harnessed the atom and the heart
We have died to become strong and smart
Entrenched in darkness our entire lives
Conquering all so our kind may thrive

Approaching the stars, we would learn to unite
Whether we're alone or drowning in life

Our intuition tells us that something is there
A simple equation says that there's life everywhere

Our path has led us through pain and grief
Our trials by fire have hardened our belief
No matter what we might find, we venture beyond
Maybe someday, a voice will respond you are not alone

Billions and billions
Eons ahead and eons ago
Bathing in the cosmic brilliance
Waiting for us to know

Crawling from the sea, 
Clawing to the desolation
Imagine what we would be
If faced with no limitation

Emerging from the source
Pondering our origins
Metamorphosis into a force
A tale of conquest begins

Given enough time, 
Hydrogen begins to wonder 
Where it came from 
And where it is going 

Emerging from the source
Pondering our origins
Metamorphosis into a force
A tale of conquest begins

Godlike (JM Gods' Will Rework)

absolutelybrutaldemo2014

A song that would have been tremendously better had I not slapped my mediocrity all over it.

Shrine of The Ancient Ones

All encompassing spirit dictates 
a passage from one plane to the next 
Damnation from his tongue incinerates 
Betraying this world with ill effects

By his call 
Serving his 
infinite word

Die for all 
Remaining 
An altar for thy grace

Looking up, sky is coal 
bearing down a cosmic spite

Burning up, punish the soul 
Fathomless spirit ignite

Solemn shivers surround a cold abode 
Treacherous god forsaken all alone

Have faith... 
Have faith nevermore

Finding the scars upon the spine 
Feeling the searing light of wrath 
Vengeance spilling from the divine 
A legion of gods on the warpath

The shrine of the ancient ones bring forth...

Gasoline oceans, choking winds of pestilence 
Butchering the faithful in their transience 
Screaming unborn, vacuum of godly adoration 
Sharred earth, smoldering life, decimation

Our existence rendered damned 
Helpless in the molten wake

By his call 
Serving his 
infinite word

Die for all 
Remaining 
An altar for thy grace

Screaming out in hate for his life 
Sky full of showering fire and stone

Remorse for the days spent praising his name 
Bring fire to the shrines of the ancient ones

Boiling flesh 
Swarming carcass 
Lung full of ash 
Traitorous god

Have faith... 
Have faith nevermore

Shrine of The Ancient Ones

Ageless, a monument to history
Deathless solitary fragments

Unscathed by time
Enduring testament

Landmark of history
Forecasting destiny

Calculating, repeating, indefinite perception
Consistently observing, dispiriting conception

Beacon alight
Calling for us
To learn the truth
We're not alone

Landmark of history
Forecasting destiny

Author, of our creation
Architects, signaled extermination

Epochs of silence have ended
Terminal decision, extinction sentence

Calculating, repeating, approaching self knowing
Consistently observing, sinister power flowing

Xenolith

Beacon alight
Calling for us
To learn the truth
We're not alone
