Glade 12:47
Wretched skeletal trees shiver Their claws grasping at the void Ominous chorus of birds Their flocks many and shrouded Quelled, I hear myself chant Feel my mouth move in pain Trunks chafe against one another Branches creak as in horror Frozen air delivers a message And I scream in agony Woods answer with a hollow drone Black wings flapping, drawing nearer My trail ends here In this sullen glade I can't see anyone The air stands too still And stars begin to fade away

Towards... 06:03
Green flame above the altar Devours the lives, vomits the void Malformed noise bleeds from its mouth Worship turns to silent anguish Eyes seek shelter from the darkness Words quiet down to whispers
3.
Fractures 10:01
Gray stones at the edge of darkness Arranged against the time In the black water under the ice Nameless teeth Keep on grinding To devour the failing hope The wind asks for guidance From the gray guardians To gather its endless troops To prepare for the war I step upon the bridge And ask of the fractures Of all this utter failure Promise is to get over The black waters Along the strings of hope Tied between my delusions
4.
Cold air drifts Slowly upon the lake Its freezing claws Scratch the frail equilibrium And water’s aching limbs Begin to stir Acrid blue haze Still waiting in dread Distant whispers Search for a listener Eyeless they keep wailing Amongst the winds Purple hues of dusk Still mirror the waters But its shadows Are a little too deep Menace descends slowly From the starless void Rotten air rises From the depths As somber and forgotten souls Climb upon the waves And I breathe again For a while I can't remember My name nor my reason But I breathe again

...towards 06:00
I heard of borders of barred doors Futile endeavours of inept fools Waters stream towards the same mire Nameless roads to the same wasteland Unknown time, worthless hours I see the windows locked inside

Elevator 11:14
Urinate on the disabled Mock them as they drown Fondle yourself to death In your silent, private disco Revel in the accolades Be knighted, canonised Your head high in the heavens The mortal coil your keep Defecate on the disabled Mock them as they choke Fondle yourself to death Others, they will follow I am there, I witness Their struggle is a thrill It's not about me anyway I don't know any of the dead Endless days of ever more A measure of remorse Keep dosed up with regret In awe of the paragon of us the paragon of us Purge on the disabled Mock them as they plead Fondle yourself to death In a paradise on Earth There now, partake A measure of remorse Come now, come now Up and shoot up Right here in these fields With all the sunshine All the music All the laughter All the flowers Overjoyed, overwraught Shoot up into the sky
