The smell of carnage envelops all in sight as the ash from our bodies sets fire to the sky Civilizations covered in filth; Unable to move, see hear or breathe The machines move inexorably forward spewing poison from their mouths fracturing the ground upon which we stand Pumping venom into her heart the heavens grow silent as we enter the halls Halls of Extinction grow ever fuller still nothing left for maggots to have their fill Halls of Extinction, though hidden will ever rise until every last oil soaked creature dies Mother now devoid of all her splendor, how do humans sleep at night? How are we not overcome with anguish simply because death hides in shadows? Ambivalence is not redemption, apathy will see us all destroyed But when I see what we have done all I long for is my death The smell of carnage envelops all in sight as the ash from our bodies sets fire to the sky Civilizations covered in filth; Unable to move, see hear or breathe The machines move inexorably forward spewing poison from their mouths fracturing the ground upon which we stand Extinction by cowards who bathe in gold Destruction of all we love and hold Halls of extinction grow fuller still nothing left for maggots to have their fill Halls of extinction filling with earthen souls, as the takers march on, killing by burning coals

Alone in this world, my spirit will die I seek solace among the pines Their richness of life will nurse my wounds without their guidance, we sleep in tombs I follow a path not meant for me But I choose death Over shallowness for eternity Though my blood in these rivers runs deep The bones of my ancestors lie across the sea I curse the name of my father’s house As his kin bring wrath to the land I breathe Their thieving hearts have spoiled the roots That I have grown into these mountains That pierce my heart with the sky The clouds light the brush Beneath my weary feet I trudge forever forward In the darkness and sleet This is all I’ll ever know, my home The black night, white sky Mother night, father sky, Winter, who brings the end of light I give you my soul to bury in your marrow In the black of night, the snowing white sky I endure the endless night The long dark tortures my soul The icy surface numbs me And comforts, it is all I know The terror of the darkened wood Left for dead, at night alone The snow falls, and I live forever In the black night, white sky

Terrible purpose, terrible lies Terrible songs we sing to keep up alive Terrible purpose, terrible lives Terrible stories we tell to help us survive Fabrications of sinister means Justify our lives and archaic beliefs Trapped into lies we cannot see With this story we’ll never be free Mythos of carnage and harvest corrupt Wings of illusion of massive breadth Willing prisoners, we leap to our death Spawn of our seeds will soon erupt

Blood is wrought from the trunk of the tree of life as the centuries give way to a straightening of the knots that breathed consciousness into the now Now is day of silicia replacing our cilia as polyeurothane sacs pray to an unlistening deity of regret, sorrow and a never-ending eclipse bathed in spectral shadow l SHATTERED WHAT IS REAL//FARCICAL UNREST TAKE MY BONES FROM ME// STEEL INTO MY CHEST SYNTHETIC ACT OF NATURE// STATUS OBSESSED BUILDINGS OVER TREES//MANUFACTURED ESSENCE Lost in the swarm//the deadly embrace//of loneliness Your ember is out//your fuel has run dry//we’re empty inside The ground disappeared//mother’s end is near//and you’ll let her die For a personal glory//for your own story//for greed and for shame Green gives to brown//lightness to dark//but your dead eyes remain To take and to kill//to passiviley mill//and define inhumane Turn stone into death//your soul of aboleth//mounting your despair campaign Rivers to blood//teeth in the mud//chemical rain
