Is this the veil receding?
Deteriorating now
Clarity is fleeting
Inverting the soul
Influence malign
Inflicting the pain upon myself
as I seek the divine
Has the numbness faded?
Pain and elation creating
A newfound emotion most pleasing
Is it divinity for myself
that I am awaiting?
Or simply the ending of suffering
Sickening depravity take me
How I must let it go
Draining my humanity
It's staining the floor
Deeper the knife
May invigorate life
As the haze it is fading
I am warmed
While the body is cold
My mind is racing
Exacerbated by my pacing
I'm hesitating
This trembling blade
My fate is waiting
Inverting the ascension
Am I divine or depraved?
Witness my devotion
Exodus by way of the blade
This world is disgusting
Degenerate masses
Shall venerate
Divine or depraved?
Way of the Blade
This world is disgusting
I shall end all our suffering
How I must let it go
Draining my humanity
It's staining the floor
Deeper the knife
May invigorate life
As the haze it is fading
I am warmed
While the body is cold
Has the numbness faded
Pain and elation creating
A newfound emotion most pleasing
Is it divinity for myself
That i am awaiting?
Or simply the ending of suffering
Sickening depravity take me
Oh sickening depravity take me
I long for the end of my suffering
This world disgusting
I shall end all our suffering
Is it a sin for me
To want to make the walls
Crumble like you did?
February 2011,
You showed me the power you can only gain in heaven
Splitting the earth into pieces in front of me
Turning people's lives into ashes and sodomy
I crave the power to take and give so freely
Like you did
Placing the blade against my flesh
The warmth it washes over me
As I feel my body fading cold
Again I awake
Its beckons echo in my skull
Again the knife is calling
From another it must be fed
I must begin
Stacking the bodies again and again
Climbing this mound of corpses
Stairway to divinity
Is this the veil receding?
Deteriorating now
Clarity is fleeting
Inverting the soul
As I seek the divine
Inflicting the pain upon myself
With an influence malign
Oh, how I must let it go
Draining humanity
As it's staining the floor
Deeper the knife
May invigorate life
As the haze it is fading
Now the body grows cold
Has the numbness faded?
Pain and elation creating
A newfound emotion most pleasing
Is it divinity for myself
That i am awaiting?
Or simply the ending of suffering
Sickening depravity take me
My link to humanity is slowly waning and fading
Aching
Pacing
Hesitating

Brrrrutal not gurgling. Just how I like it. And however weird it may sound for the genre, there are flashes of beauty in this. As if something tried to reach you from behind a broken mirror. BDM with a soul. YomaBarr
