Unfullfilled Exigence

tremulous
numb cluster
the point of principle
defiled trenched obliterated
stumbling into misty deep blue
gargling on infected influence
implemented change of bias
to equally blotted concepts
inveigled body landslide
rush through decomposed ideals
disabled to
distinguish
unfulfilled exigence
exhausting expedition
leads to frustration
leads to expressed destructive
results in dissipated exertion
disabled to
distinguish
unfulfilled exigence
disabled to
rush through decomposed ideals
gargling on infected influence

Cursed Words

lies, half-truth, misinformation
follow
Stardom, gossip, panem et circenses
opium for the masses
uniformed, uninformed, confused and nauseated
defending, expanding, liberate, proliferate
prospering in rampant growth,
bleeding dry the globe
living on the starving,
feeding needs with hope
face the inevitable
no alternative is at hand
all shall give all that they have
united we shall stand
privatize the profits
and socialize the risks
the benefits of economy –
the benefits of men
oppressing the masses
with labour and consumption
numb their senses and make them tired
to prevent the formation of opinion
at the shrines of finances
we bow before our masters
immolating our virtues
lies, half-truth, misinformation
follow
Stardom, gossip, panem et circenses
opium for the masses
uniformed, uninformed, confused and nauseated
in these days of great confusion and mistrust
we pledge allegiance
to those who lead…
ever since

creeping and creeping and
waiting to be seen and felt and heard
waiting to feed
total corruption of all organic life
and it burns, it burns
cold and wet – but it burns
like the worm that gnaws
as it rips and it claws
always and ever – inevitably forever
crawling and lurking
from beyond infinity
descending into our reality
borne from light invisible
the hue, the colour
not from this world
hungry and fertile
it drips and it flows,
it seeps and it soaks– inexorably
incorporeal though conscious
amoral indifference
oozing from the skies
trickling into the soil
infesting phreatic water
chthonic – hypogeal
subterrestrial
brood cells
incorporeal though sentient
amoral indifference
oozing from the skies
trickling into the soil
infesting phreatic water
dry and grey and brittle
draining out the host
like the leech that feasts
it drinks and it eats
it grows and it sucks
multiplying relentlessly

An Ode To Wrath
04:20
|
|||
Sing, O goddess,
the anger of Achilles
the son of Peleus,
that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.
Many a brave soul did it send
hurrying down to Hades,
and many a hero did it yield
a prey to dogs and vultures
an ode to wrath
O Manyu!
your assistants,
deride and trounce
over our enemies
an ode to wrath
You are the slayer
of the unfriendly,
remover of all sorrow
grant me power during war-time,
destroy our enemies
shed your wrath upon
those that carry ill-will
for us and those
whom we deem
our enemies
March on,
like flames of fire in form,
Slay thou our foes,
distribute their possession
An ode to wrath
With thee to aid,
O thou of perfect splendour,
we raise the glorious
battle-shout for conquest
let our enemies
with stricken spirits,
over-whelmed with terror,
sling away defeated

Slice And Dice

unknown vibe
infiltrate
desolate
transmit
to a disaffected central
nervous system
cut old ties
build out lies
generate
fabricate
redemptive
cold decision
reckless translation
totally optimized
compound
slice and dice
slide the knife
take out all
the unwanted
disturbing extremities
progress
don’t stop to review
the choice
to reshape
all the unwanted
extremities
success – at last!
what is left
it is the beauty in itself
peerlessly
the perfect match to the disaffected nervous system
consistency of
body and soul
has come true
satisfaction is now the steady state condition

From Imperfect Salts
02:36
|
|||
the quest for wisdom – arcane knowledge of the dead
the faustian strife – an urge as old as man itself
the price irrelevant – regardless of what it shall take
the avail so valuable – inestimably sumptuous
called up from the essential salts of humans dust
don´t call up, any that you cannot put down
ask for the lesser, lest the greater shall not answer
bear in mind that no part must be missing
for the finest results to be had
loathsome and appalling,
too palpably incomplete,
offensively unfinished
is what is raised
from imperfect salts
and from the seeds
of the old
shall one be borne
who shall look back
though knowing not
what he seeks

A New Dark Age
00:34
|
|||
The most merciful thing in the world, I think,
is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
We live on a placid island of ignorance
in the midst of black seas of infinity,
and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
The sciences,
each straining in its own direction,
have hitherto harmed us little;
but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge
will open up such terrifying vistas of reality,
and of our frightful position therein,
that we shall either go mad from the revelation
or flee from the deadly light
into the peace and safety
of a new dark age.

... Behold, A Pale Sky
03:40
|
|||
reading between the lines,
see the truth behind the lies,
pieces of knowledge
never to be correlated
don´t believe a thing
everything is possible
warpainting the stratosphere – …behold, a pale sky
orchestrate the climate change – …behold, a pale sky
…behold, a pale sky!
conspiring against the meek to depopulate the globe
the shepherd that slays the sheep - their master plan unfolds
the occult order,
the unseen hand that pulls the strings
preserve the ancient lineage
tainted with unearthly blood
in the very
beginning of human history
conducting famine and drought – …behold, a pale sky
poison the soil with venomous fallout – …behold, a pale sky
…behold, a pale sky
disjointed knowledge
separated by design
piecing together
what should never be revealed
mind-controlled through aerosols we´re digging our own graves
a populace kept uninformed is a populace enslaved
weaponize the firmament – …behold, a pale sky
death is raining from the skies - …behold, a pale sky
…behold, a pale sky
shine a light on
the obscured acts of the ill-luminated
behind the curtains
accidents are nonexistent
watch with open eyes
and eventually you shall see for yourselves…

thy name shall forever be removed from history
struck from all monuments and erased from all the records
Nephren-Ka, heretic of heretics,
to protect the pious and devout
from the wrath of the gods
thy transgressions shall remain unnamed
the lightless temple to house the Haunter of the Dark
nameless cults of hideous blasphemies,
their idols carven in strangely coloured stone,
their ill-bred rites detestable and profane
the many-angled extraneous artifact
nearly black though luminous
crafted on dark Yuggoth
showing the heavens and distant worlds
“…and the abyss also gazes into you”
half-formed worlds of wonder and of terror
chaos is merged into order
it´s fascination alarming and malign
it´s promises compelling and corruptive
Nyarlathotep – the Crawling Chaos,
mighty messenger,
priest and soul of the outer gods

Taking from the poorest of the poor
take their homes, take their lives, take their land
no good will ever be appreciated
unless it is completely privatized
we bring the benefits of a globalized world
a global village, void of boundaries
the free market, that frail and fragile bud
it shall blossom even in the driest soil
controlling and regulating itself
the free market brings prosperity and wealth
liberate the global trade
for the benefit of the customers
produce for the first world
human capital, your trump card
supporting you with foreign aid
we are responsible
kept too weak to uprise
too thirsty, too hungry
too poor to oppose your oppressors
put off, held back
over a billion on the brink of extinction
living from the waste of the civilized world
ten-thousands starving on a daily basis
now they come to claim what is rightfully theirs

Behold the cloudy orb like artifact
the crystal globe of Zon-Mezzamalech
once lost in half-fabled Mhu-Thulan
long before the advent of modern man
briefly mentioned in the Book of Eibon
either unknown to, or omitted by Alhazred
obscure, ominous, ante-human lore
predating the practice of spoken word
Behold the intermittent glowing in its heart
alternately illumed and darkened from inside
slightly flattened at both of it´s poles
mirroring all the things that ever were
For Ubbo-Sathla
is the source
and the end.
Before the coming of
Zhothaqquah, Yok-Zothoth
or Kthulhut from the stars,
Ubbo-Sathla dwelt in the
steaming fens of the newmade Earth.
And all earthly life, it is told
shall go back at last
through the great circle of time
to Ubbo-Sathla, Magna Mater
