The Runner (Forever Damned)

Unknown?

Iron Bar

You walk this Earth with no regard for the child you left behind
You live your life so selfishly
Ignoring your child's pleading screaming
Night after night, day after day
I see the pain that you cultivate
In the dark I hear her pray for mother's love to come one day

You're worthless
Who do you think you are
You're just a useless piece of shit
Who do you think you are
You're just a waste of oxygen
You're worthless that's what you are
You're not even worth a shit
That's what you are
You're just a waste of human skin, now die

The years fly by as her heart grows hard
Years grind by as time goes on
Now she sit's so silently
No longer will she beg and plead
Mother is the word for love on the lips and hearts of all children
Now that word brings only pain
She only wants it to all go away

You're worthless
Who do you think you are
You're just a useless piece of shit
Who do you think you are
You're just a waste of oxygen
You're worthless that's what you are
You're not even worth a shit
That's what you are
You're just a pile of excrement, now die

Now as you sit on your deathbed she couldn't even care any less
As you feel death's icy grip your final wish is forgiveness
But this will not come to pass
It's payment for your selfishness
You're going to reap what you have sown 
You're going to lay there and die all alone

You're worthless
Who do you think you are
You're just a useless piece of shit
Who do you think you are
You're just a waste of oxygen
You're worthless that's what you are
You're not even worth a fuck
That's what you are
You're just a waste of human skin, now die

Die, Die
Go ahead and die a little
Die, Die

Crushed by their Prey

Arm yourself, take up your ax and shield, ready your sword and spear
Form up ranks, the enemy hoard draws near, battle and glory awaits
Stand your ground, roar out your battle cry, warriors ready to fight
Give them hell, fight with ferocity, no stop until victory

Make them pay
They die today

Our enemies came seeking easy prey from across the sea
To take our lives, burn our homes, and make slaves of our family
Their army was vast, they were armed to the teeth, self-assured of their victory
But as we clashed, they soon realized, attacking us was a fatal mistake

We are not weak
We are not sheep
We fight like demons unleashed
We know not of fear
We live by the sword and spear
It's death to our enemies
With fear in their eyes as they watch their friends die
They will all meet their end today
But now it's too late They've sealed their fate
They're crushed by their prey

No mercy will be found on this battleground
No remorse, fight for your lives and those of your families
Crush their heart, press the attack, give no chance to fight back
Break their will, cut off retreat, death is their only escape

Watch them die
One by one

They charged at us screaming victory as if they already won
We stand our ground, repel their attack, we take no prisoners
We cut through their ranks with our skill and our rage, stamping out their confidence
With fury and hate like a beast unchained, we slaughter them all

They've sealed their fate
They're crushed by their prey

Heed the warnings
They mark our lands
We are warriors
Not easy prey

Now die
Ignite the flames

They turn and ran as their coward king called for retreat
To their dismay as they reached the bay, all of their ships are in flames
They fall to their knees as they beg and plead to spare their worthless lives
We reply, "You can die like men on your feet, or die like sheep on your knees!"

We are not weak
We are not sheep
We fight like demons unleashed
We know not of fear
We live by the sword and spear
It's death to our enemies
With fear in their eyes as they watch their friends die
They will all meet their end today
But now it's too late They've sealed their fate
They're crushed by their prey

Foolish raid, the hunter becomes the prey
No escape, caught by surprise like a rat in a maze
Foolish raid, the hunter becomes the prey
No escape, caught by surprise like a rat in a maze

Fate Of All

Can you see the darkness creeping
It's come to steal the light
Can you hear the people screaming
Running for their lives
Can you hear the children laughing
They're laughing at your plight
You cannot run there is no hiding
Now it's time to die

You can feel it
Icy cold
Mother's coming
The fate of all

Beyond the gates that you can't see
The reaper she lies in wait for you and me
Beyond the veil of reality 
She watches with cold dead eyes for the living
Death is the fate of all you see
Do not believe in your false immortality

The hand of fate comes reaching for you
It cuts just like a knife
People screaming fading faster
As I take their lives
Darkness moving ever faster
It's swallowing the light
You see my smiling face before you
As i watch you die

You can feel it
Icy cold
Mother's coming
The fate of all

Beyond the gates that you can't see
The reaper she lies in wait for you and me
Beyond the veil of reality 
She watches with cold dead eyes for the living
Death is the fate of all you see
Do not believe in your false immortality

All is gone there's only silence
Everything is dead
I stand upon the hill and survey
My work is here is finished
I can hear her calling to me
Softly on the breeze
My grave is dug and I am ready
Mother set me free

You can feel it
Icy cold
Mother's coming
The fate of all

You can feel it
Icy cold
Mother's coming
The fate of all

Parasitic Lung

Isolation day dream is nothing to me

Infection is pure in this tubal decree

Dead on arrival the last few will see

I am a witness to lovely disease

Tax of the flesh comes thou Pharisees

Nothing is rooted in skin bound trees

Coughing…bleeding…dying isolation

Cutting…seething…personal creation

Choking…feeding…internal irritation

Coughing…bleeding…dying isolation

Snuff films for angels

Restricted wings

Whispers of violence

Decrepit things

Dead baby birds form

Crowns for the kings

Contorted conjoined

Twins do not sing

Coughing…bleeding…dying isolation

Cutting…seething…personal creation

Choking…feeding…internal irritation

Coughing…bleeding…dying isolation

I sit in darkness confined to my home

Lost in destruction we are alone

Compulsive distraction mentally disown

Worm digs in deeper as stitches are sown

Isolation…

Isolation…

Isolation…

Isolation…

Parasitic envy denied

All of the tissue has died

Atrophy turned genocide

No one is sure who has lied

Coughing…bleeding…dying isolation

Cutting…seething…personal creation

Choking…feeding…internal irritation

Coughing…bleeding…dying isolation

Return to the infantile

Cavity-ridden rotting smile

We’ve been lost for a while

Isolation is back in style

Return to the infantile

Cavity-ridden rotting smile

We’ve been lost for a while

Isolation is back in style

The Place That You Feared

Swallow the fetus deformed

Whores of distillation inside

God is a thought I adorned

As empty as the tears you have cried

Fuck it, fuck it, No one really gives a shit

Fuck it, fuck it, Blood and cum is on the pulpit

Kill it, kill it, Existential sanguine puppet

Kill it, kill it, The apprehension is the culprit

Fuck it

Kill it

This is the place where refraction comes clear

One last taste of the place that you had feared

Forgetting the face of those we became

Absorbing the afterbirth of our own shame

Slit of the throat and occlusion of name

Evolution of period blood and cocaine

Etch words of dismay so forlorn

Cannabilize the things you have said

Vomit whole the ideas of scorn

Cauterize the wound on your head

Fuck it, fuck it, No one really gives a shit

Fuck it, fuck it, Blood and cum is on the pulpit

Kill it, kill it, Existential sanguine puppet

Kill it, kill it, The apprehension is the culprit

Fuck it

Kill it

This is the place where no one dares confide

One last taste of the place that sutures suicide

Forgetting the face of those we became

Absorbing the afterbirth of our own shame

Slit of the throat and occlusion of name

Evolution of period blood and cocaine

I do not eat of the these lies

Mirrored in the truth I have spoke

Black vaginal drain birthing flies

Meat splattered in machine stroke

Fuck it, fuck it, No one really gives a shit

Fuck it, fuck it, Blood and cum is on the pulpit

Kill it, kill it, Existential sanguine puppet

Kill it, kill it, The apprehension is the culprit

Fuck it

Kill it

This is the place where I dwell bleaching bone

One last taste of the place I burned my home

Forgetting the face of those we became

Absorbing the afterbirth of our own shame

Slit of the throat and occlusion of name

Evolution of period blood and cocaine

Cigarette Burns Are For Lovers

Princess of a palace cracked

Princess of a palace cracked

Princess of a palace cracked

The echoes raped you

Promise we’re not going back

Promise we’re not going back

Promise we’re not going back

Lips cold turned blue

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Outward phlegm flew

The temple built forever black

The temple built forever black

The temple built forever black

Heretic I never knew

The moment she abhorred

The demons we adored

Come to feast on intestinal wall

Overdosing testament scrawled

Princess of a palace cracked

Princess of a palace cracked

Princess of a palace cracked

The echoes raped you

Promise we’re not going back

Promise we’re not going back

Promise we’re not going back

Lips cold turned blue

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Outward phlegm flew

The temple built forever black

The temple built forever black

The temple built forever black

Heretic I never knew

A clitorus; cigarette burns

Fist fucks; multiple turns

So few ignore disgusted stains

Cannot admit your needle pains

Princess of a palace cracked

Princess of a palace cracked

Princess of a palace cracked

The echoes raped you

Promise we’re not going back

Promise we’re not going back

Promise we’re not going back

Lips cold turned blue

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Outward phlegm flew

The temple built forever black

The temple built forever black

The temple built forever black

Heretic I never knew

A fairytale of hurtful fame

Unspeakable hidden name

Last thing did was to dissect

My tiny clot; a praying insect

Princess of a palace cracked

Princess of a palace cracked

Princess of a palace cracked

The echoes raped you

Promise we’re not going back

Promise we’re not going back

Promise we’re not going back

Lips cold turned blue

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Jaw is broke and there is slack

Outward phlegm flew

The temple built forever black

The temple built forever black

The temple built forever black

Heretic I never knew

Phosphorus Burns

There is no soul on the last breathe

Naked in facets of hope so bereft

Sank in the sudden ocean of decay

Blood streams your wrist fading away

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Cannot unsee the things you despise

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Cannot foresee this hate you realize

Cut out the eyes, cut out the eyes

Cannot deceive the end you devise

Vessel painted red like muscle

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Nothing but the mouth is crushing

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Widening her gaping maw

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Siphoning the adrenaline

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Angels cunt or devil’s claw

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Anhydrous is the regimen

Darkest sunrise of separation deceit

Last smile like teeth against concrete

When I dream I meet her once more

Come to me,my staph infection whore

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Cannot unsee the things you despise

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Cannot foresee this hate you realize

Cut out the eyes, cut out the eyes

Cannot deceive the end you devise

Vessel painted red like muscle

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Nothing but the mouth is crushing

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Widening her gaping maw

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Siphoning the adrenaline

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Angels cunt or devil’s claw

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Anhydrous is the regimen

Laid down in dust and severed head

Always wanted to remember you dead

She oozed a rather permanent goodbye

Was it your last labored breath or a sigh?

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Cannot unsee the things you despise

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Cannot foresee this hate you realize

Cut out the eyes, cut out the eyes

Cannot deceive the end you devise

Vessel painted red like muscle

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Nothing but the mouth is crushing

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Widening her gaping maw

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Siphoning the adrenaline

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Angels cunt or devil’s claw

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Anhydrous is the regimen

Oh those eyes, haunting demise

Oh those eyes, haunting demise

Oh those eyes, haunting demise

Oh those eyes, haunting demise

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Cannot unsee the things you despise

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Cannot foresee this hate you realize

Cut out the eyes, cut out the eyes

Cannot deceive the end you devise

Vessel painted red like muscle

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Nothing but the mouth is crushing

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Widening her gaping maw

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Siphoning the adrenaline

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Angels cunt or devil’s claw

Cut out the eyes, Cut out the eyes

Anhydrous is the regimen

Oh those eyes, haunting demise

Oh those eyes, haunting demise

Oh those eyes, haunting demise

Oh those eyes, haunting demise

Machines Screaming

The hunger is worsening

I stare at the floor

There is no easing

You’re not there anymore

I accept complacency

Self-annihilating bore

Death by the symmetry

Knives in a symphony

Alive in my sympathy

Reborn…

Noise in the darkness

Mercuric ghosts

Endless the coaxing

Taking of the host

I devour my heart

A veiled secret oath

Death by the symmetry

Knives in a symphony

Alive in my sympathy

Reborn…

Reborn...

Wind blows so far below

His face is death bestowed

Wind blows so far below

The murder is wrath sowed

Wind blows so far below

His face is death bestowed

Reborn…

Walls collapse in silence

Rusted are the veins

The memory a dilution

Suffocate on cellophane

Wind blows so far below

His face is death bestowed

Wind blows so far below

The murder is wrath sowed

Wind blows so far below

His face is death bestowed

I sit and lick the wounds

Corpses make my throne

Desperate for ascension

Screaming like dial tone

Flesh is gray like the sea

Who I am is not known

Death by the symmetry

Knives in a symphony

Alive in my sympathy

Reborn…

Where did the sun go

Eclipsing celestial, awaken son

Reptile vestigial, aborted sum

Negligent scab, none among

Dead to rites, daughter hung

Nothing said cause I lost it

Deeper darkening heaven closet

Seven minutes in dementia

Deemed necrotic in absentia

Thorny crown, pulling down, noose is laid

Cradle sound, empty now, burning away

Thorny crown, pulling down, noose is laid

Cradle sound, empty now, burning away

Where did the sun go now?

Where did the sun go now?

Come on and tell me, you!

Where did the sun go now?

Where did the sun go 

Where did the sun go

Venom residual, inverted nun

Rife of menstrual, victims cum

Fully automatic, silver tongue

Parabolic arc, song unsung

Nothing said cause I lost it

Deeper darkening heaven closet

Seven minutes in dementia

Deemed necrotic in absentia

Thorny crown, pulling down, noose is laid

Cradle sound, empty now, burning away

Thorny crown, pulling down, noose is laid

Cradle sound, empty now, burning away

Where did the sun go now?

Where did the sun go now?

Come on and tell me, you!

Where did the sun go now?

Where did the sun go 

Where did the sun go

Somewhere else until I keep it

Deep within the burning secret

Somewhere else until I keep it

Deep within the burning secret

Alchemical vile, scarlet scum

Godless heathen, buzzin hum

Void demonic, endless one

Thousand years, no more sun

Nothing said cause I lost it

Deeper darkening heaven closet

Seven minutes in dementia

Deemed necrotic in absentia

Thorny crown, pulling down, noose is laid

Cradle sound, empty now, burning away

Thorny crown, pulling down, noose is laid

Cradle sound, empty now, burning away

Where did the sun go now?

Where did the sun go now?

Come on and tell me, you!

Where did the sun go now?

Where did the sun go 

Where did the sun go

A Creature, Naked, Bestial

Behold this the nightmare

Soon it’s laid in apathy

Off teeth and white bare

Feast on all solemnity

Behold this the nightmare

Soon it’s rotted into me

Of the sun I do stare

Burnt skin for memories

Cry your tears for me as I walk your way

Peel the flesh back here as I formulate the clay

Things are whispered back before all apocalypse

I will always be bleeding from the lips

Behold crippled cold lich

Razed crown of the aging sea

Undone eye close stitch

Third of the stars did bleed

Behold this the nightmare

Soon it’s rotted into me

Of the sun I do stare

Burnt skin for memories

Cry your tears for me as I walk your way

Peel the flesh back here as I formulate the clay

Things are whispered back before all apocalypse

I will always be bleeding from the lips

Behold this the nightmare

Soon it’s laid in apathy

Off teeth and white bare

Feast on all solemnity

Behold this the nightmare

Soon it’s rotted into me

Of the sun I do stare

Burnt skin for memories

Sea, Sky, rape

Breaking the leg of a child...

Where was the lack of concern?

What of a man's desiccation?

Blaming victim for the burn?

The human rapes it's own

Just like the animal it pretends not to be It's the marrow of the bone

Nothing's changed since we left the sea

Continue morose process...

Surprise malformation result?

What of cause and effect?

Blame abused dog for assault?

The human rapes it's own

Just like the animal it pretends not to be It's the marrow of the bone

Nothing's changed since we left the sea

All in all; lamb is lost

Talk show hosts abide the cost

The human rapes it's own

Just like the animal it pretends not to be It's the marrow of the bone

Nothing's changed since we left the sea

Thirty plus years collusion...

Clear correlation of a disease?

What internal disaffection?

Full circle cellular memories?
