I've seen
The horrors of the forest
The leaves
Whisper to me
Descending
Deeper and deeper
Disillusioned in the depths of the trees
Depths of the trees
I've seen
The horrors of the forest
This illusion in the depths of the trees
Sinking amongst the sickening
Darkness of the depths
The end of all life beneath the surface
Another life wasted
Nothing gained
What's the point of living another
Every minute I spend alive
Another person is waiting to die
These wretched hands claw my neck
And force me to regress
I've seen
The horrors of the forest
The leaves
Whisper to me
Descending
Deeper and deeper
Disillusioned in the depths of the trees
In the depths of the trees
These terrifying voices call out to me
Implanted in the seed
Paralytic tremors felt from beneath
They attempt to besiege
Whispers of doubt carried by the breeze
The trees
Teach me
Lessons I must not forget
Will I open my eyes
Before nothing is left
This black
I feel like I can't
Tired
Lost
I'm under attack
The canopy above me
Blocks out the light
My roots are entangled but I must break free
If I am to survive
Fear
Overwhelms
Me
These trees around me don't know my name
But they are still
The reason I became
Shrouded in shadow
Drowning in doubt
I make my escape
I've seen
The horrors of the forest
This illusion in the depths of the trees
I was alone lost worshipping black
Now I am home I won't go back
The depths of the forest is where I found my guidance

It Lurks

Deep and embedded
Within the mind
Is a cesspool of hatred
A maelstrom of emotion
Pain and anguish
Witness
The embodiment of purest darkness
Harnessing the agony that consumes
Your frail form
I see the silhouette
Of a nameless shapeless face
Wreathed in the shadows
Weaved through my veins
We are one
Dragging me into the void
Bound to eternal torment
Insidious insipid in design
Taken over by urges of violence
Writhing inside my skin
I'm captive held from within
Transformation his will is mine
My fall to darkness written in filth and grime
Fading away
The undertow is calling me
I succumb to the cold and crushing depths
I call out for anyone but hear only my screams

Shallow
The soil that cloaks my skin so
Unknown
This heartbeat feels so foreign to me
Rising from the dampened earth
Reeling from the darkened terra-firm
This anxiety it cripples me
Caustic ties to what lies before me
Pursued through the vapor a presence indistinct
A shiver down my spine a ripple through my skin
Echoes carried by the trees attempt to deceive
It takes
Hold of me
I can't escape
I'm trembling
With every wave
I feel the cold
Seep through me
I'm choking on the taste of iron
A fleshy mass of blood and bile
Lugubrious
And then it's gone
I watch my hands unfold to ash
A scorched and searing aftermath
It falls away
Yet they remain
Who I was before
Dwindling
Reaching through the thorns
Lacerated and raw
My spirit starts to fade into this pitch black maw
I fall into lament
A prayer spoken to repent
Visions distort my reality
This rare breed of catastrophe
Shallow
The soil that cloaks my skin
Familiar
Sensation have I been here before
Retreading ground
I see my footprints sinking bellow
This undertow resurfaces
I see myself with realisation and clarity
Nothing I can do to repent this torrid cycle
Once again exhumed from the ground
Looking down at a grave disturbed more than once has this been my home for how Many years
Is this my fate
No chance to negotiate
Trapped in this realm
A sadistic mind, at the helm
Repeated travesties
Deepest fears known only to me
A nightmare conceived
By an unknown deity
Nothing left to lose
I laugh at the skies
Is this just a joke with a sickening punchline

A snap
Of the synapse
Memories of a past life faded
Anger and hatred
A cycle repeated seconds pass like days
Festering
Loathing
Urges growing stronger
Down descending deeper
Drown in the vengeful ether
Torn out from the inside
The jaws of madness are opening wide
I gaze inside
Engulfed by the fires of psychotic intent
Scolded and scarred
Blackened and charred
The world beyond the walls of my mind
Disturbing visions of a purgatory unknown
Demented voices call to me
Precipitate my abhorrent atrocities
Malice blinds
Putrid swine
Odium
Revolting
Worthless hide
Your presence disgusts me
Your shrieks insulting to my ears
My pleasure derived
From your fear
I've envisioned your demise
Ad nauseam
You have merely glimpsed the edge
Of the abyss
Within the tunnels of my fractured mind
I will heed the signs of the shadows
Beckoning
Whispering
Guiding me
Further than I've gone before
A sickening urge to continue
Warping into an obsession
Driven by the manic voices I am not alone
Yet these apparitions felt so familiar
As if I'd known them in a past life
What has this loathing done to me
Awaken the seed of psychopathy
This blackened hate is finally
Free
I can't hold this seething hatred anymore
I've broken every fallacy I once adorned
I can't stand the fucking stench of all of you
This whole world will drown in the blood
I intend to spill
Exposing the lies
Showing the uncleansed their own insides
I claw out my eyes
I am undone by the wretched void inside

Sightless Eyes

In the blink of an eye
Enveloped in the absence of the wonted
The stillness fraught with unease
Complacency
Shattered
Undoing this false sense of serenity
Furious skies
Constructs ripped asunder
Reeling and blind
Senses are lost
To the cataclysmic divide
Unable to discern the sight from the screams
Within the blinding haze of light
The colours bleeding through until
Perceptions fade away
Iridescent forms taking shape
Oceans rise
Flooding the tears in this fractured sky
Sightless eyes
Where scars of a nebulous tragedy reside
As the stars fall from the sea
The echoes in the embers deafening
As existence falls apart at the seams
The peaks of mountains are swallowed
By the deep

Walking through the flames
Holding my own against
I'm standing in the demons gaze
By my blade the slaughtered remain decayed
My enemies are great in strength
By honor your lives are spent
No longer will we breath your stench
The time has come my will be done resolve is strong
My armor is stained with the blood of the fallen
Remains reduced to mere fodder
Enslaved to the will of the blade the past ahead is strewn with flame
How many lives have I taken
When will I be sated
Nothing will stand against me
I'll take your head if you refuse to bend the knee
The ruins of the fallen empires lay before me
Bring my wrath upon all those who oppose
Insatiable lust for combat
Sever the limbs of the host
A warrior's sacred duty bound in honor and blood
Leaving a trail of death in the wake of a war god
Taking their heads mounting them on the pikes
A sign of my power watch as they cower and hide
An ancient tome
The warrior's code
Face the siege alone
I am home
Cast into the night
You're in my sight
Beneath the bloodstained skies
My powers ignite
In the aftermath of the blood-crazed annihilation
Not a soul was spared from the unrelenting devastation
The earth is slick with the viscera
Waste lain down upon the ground not a living soul to be found within the refuse
Not a single reprieve was offered to the meat
The taste
Of
Blood
Lingers in the air
Above in the mountains high my final climb to the summit will end in a battle of absolution
Your armies will fall before me
With blade in hand
With gritted teeth and knuckles clenched
I make my final stand before my end
I will not bow break or beg
But you will know my name by the end of this
As I run my steel through your entrails
The stench of your life essence in my chainmail
Life slipping away
My foes carcass in decay
I've lived my final day
It's my time
Hara-kiri

Scorched Plains

Desolation
Isolation
From destruction comes no salvation
Within my darkest fears
I wish I wasn't here
Trapped in my own damnation
A face of scars and pain
Now only ash remains
What is left but the dust in my veins
The bane of torment a bloodied haze
Left to suffer for the rest of my days
Is this what life's become
My soul has come undone
I scream my lungs into the abyss but there's no one
Until my tethers end
When my bones are spent
I'll drag my soul through crumbling depths
Collapsing under the weight
Ruinous and desolate
All the pieces set ablaze
Through the smoke a taunting gaze
I'm trapped within this place
The shard of perception breaks
Fractured my sanity fades I don't recognize my face
Despair
Seeps into my core
Facing demise
The end is near
A voice from the deep
Mocking my screams
Here I stand upon the scorched plains
Unearthed old scars and atrophy
Through the sinew this ruin won't claim
My soul my world laid to waste
From the ashes and the bitter taste
Of Sulphur death and decay
Stands a man present yet erased
Upon this mortal coil I cannot stay
Stay
