III - Downfall to Black Axis and Liturgy

by Rotten Light

/
1.
I cast despair No matter where I do not spare Any pain I share I understand that life is finite I pretend that I am what they think I am. I feel like it’s only a matter of time. I touch my face and wonder why it’s mine. I am real Life is not I am Just a visitor
2.
I can feel the beckon of violence The Passages are clear on this night Sanguine River, Beautiful Hell The exodus of pain destroys pride For hate conquers all And kill the spirit within For I am scorn in your eyes And you are scorn in mine Time of harvest Crescentian centuries Fertile woman Bearers of plague Ravens whisper Black flame Baneful World Dance of flesh
3.
Luring darkness continuously Offering ourselves to decadence To Worship the fields of blight And erase all the good and white We have found the Gates of Perdition Humanity itself crowned at the stake We are lost in ourselves And the decadent straying madness Benighted by destructive alienation Arrogant and individual ways Draining Putrefaction The one that reality try to blaze
4.
You only know how to destroy It's the only thing you do Overlord of extinction Humanity cursed by woe If existence is pointless Destroying yourself is worthless You are chained to your own desruction And you should fight to break free
5.
Trapped demon swarms Inhuman fears Black fog Frozen vermins Malignant nightmares my sanity consume My internal Coven will alter my remains My shadow infects the illusions and fantasies For I am the one who brings a decaying light A wraith fire dominate my heart For She brings a answer for my restlessness And desecrate my soul with the seed of her womb But I am not Her slave, I am a son of her teachings I am blight and bright all in one, in perfect chaos Alright... What I can say? I boil in hunger Let's hurt someone And get rid of the body Come with me Son of a bastard man Together we will hunt An innocent prey tonight We shall feast on her pure flesh Make her a mangled disaster Take her parts as a trophy And ravage will lust I can become the bringer of monstrosities I am not chained, my wings are not broken I can hurt, I can destroy I can make you my decoy Malignant nightmares my sanity consume My internal Coven will alter my remains My shadow infects the illusions and fantasies For I am the one who brings a decaying light Trapped demon swarms Inhuman fears Black fog Frozen vermins Can you see the danger beneath everyone of us?

I can't feel any warm I can't mourn anyone I can't care about anything From the moment I broke nothing was the same I don't remember the moment, nor the year I changed forever, I was marked and scarred Everything is laid to waste I've spent all of my lonely nights destroying me Looking for a sign that tells me I'm not crazy Making myself believe it's not true I know is too late
7.
Truth hurts more than a lie Better keep smiling, don't cry Make your pain invisible to the eye Get a trip and fly Destroy yourself and die Back to the outerdark Cut yourself and get struck Act and never look back Never regret Choke on dispair You never fail In lie there is success Disease leads To abusive need Mourning tragedy Welcome to reality Truth hurts more than a lie Better keep smiling, don't cry Make your pain invisible to the eye Get a trip and fly Destroy yourself and die Back to the outerdark Cut yourself and get struck Act and never look back If this is who you really are, I want you far If this is what a truth is, I never want one
8.
We all know what we are, insignificance, Not only in the history of this world but in the continuation of the universe So, it doesn't matter if we are depressed because of abuse, mental illness or the loss of a loved one There is only one objective fact It doesn't matter if we are happy and complete, if we live a good life in human standars Our presence is less than an instant in the immensity We are not even living a lie Someday we will sink in the blackest coma Someday not even death will have a meaning And all for what humanity have strived Will disappear burning or drowning
9.
For Life is a Epitome of hypocrisy Full of intoxication and lies Where you elevate yourself with deceit In self-destructing relationships Illuminated by catharsis To plummet in defilement The celestial culmination Of the divine negation of humanity Crawling like the inner lepers we are We are teached to bleed And behold the savior with the scythe Consciousness perishes as we advance
10.
I can say It's all a dream I can say It's all a dream I can say It's all a dream No reason to follow me You shall bend the knee To a chaining decree You can hang on a tree If you want to be free It matters not if you burn in Hell, boil in Diyu or drown in the Well It matters not if you break the seal or you make with Satan a deal You will keep dreaming while you are beliving Destroying or creating while searching for a meaning Living in a lie, walking tall High in heaven, stoned in hell Hearing for the bell at the start of the day You shall search for the unmeaning The detachment of all you think You are a subject of the condition You shall beat your own reality
11.
Stranded in urban grey waste Exiled from beauty In dismal distortions of reality Hybrid Parasite am I Mirrored in the abyss Wings of disturbing arsenic Neon stars reflect in the depths Of this crevasse penumbra
12.
Your river was named after the tree of wisdom But can you tell me something? No, you can't, you fool, you disgusting pile of ashes and shattered dreams, Ancient gods from your streets look at me With faces of boredom, anguish and pain. The neverending story of broken people, Living in a cloud of poison, But thinking they can still look at the high And see the true color of the sky. No dream for you, nor hope nor life Lie in a mist of silent despair, Floating over the screams and the flashes of vanity and dread I want to get out of here! You can't exist, you must not! Trapped here I can only imagine Fire, destruction, oblivion, decay! Forgiveness is far from your reach. The cancer of perpetual alienation That inherited the disease of past centuries I can only see the delusion of false hope For consciousness is a grave that you can reach A collective hallucination of pretending smiles A tide of regression where you only can drown Beneath such horrorific dismay there should be a shard of light But no, this place is dreadful, an awe of consternation Putrid and desolate, never beautiful Pathetic fates destined to meet in bitterness Not a glimpse of what is promised in narcotic wraith Everything is a broken mirage of a mangled vigor Lost in repeating moments of decadence and degeneration A mosaic of moral malformation destroyed by decline Another bloody night in this fucking city, And darkness falls over me like a rain of shame, Washing away everything good in my life And filling me with anger and hate As you can fill any heart, any glass, any recipe, With the sour scent of false smiles and good decieves. No dream for you, nor hope nor life, In legends of yore, corrupted cities, For much less than what I can see, Were merciless erased with sulphur and fire, But you prevail in your cradle of misery and lies, And trapped here I can only imagine Fire, destruction, oblivion, despair ...! Forgiveness is a flower that cannot bloom in a putrid land.

about

A descent.
A downfall.
The End.

Humanity destroys itself every single moment. For what? Why? Does it matter?
Self-hate, the loss of love, depression, avarice, mental illness, solitude. WHATEVER:
A trip to the only common sense: Everything will end. Thus, the only thing that matters is that nothing matters.
