Bound within these gloved hands; molten The crucible of our transmutation Leads Me To My End ----------------- Hunted, now - In search of refuge No talisman to repel the leering eyes By the light of the night Tortured, now - by encroaching footsteps splintering branches, the crack of glass pyrophoric blaze -I charge into the trees- ------------------------- -Within this cave- -I gather the measures- -to generate- -bewildering feats- -of- -carnage- ------------------------- Fools - They trust their faith -words of man, indisputable- Hastened to end this race -as children bathed in contrition- Obelisk to our disgrace -looms off in the distance- Awaken spellbound wraiths -Barricades of consciousness- -razed- Truth in ambivalence - Strength of strengths I will lead a charge on corrupted lengths of the threads; our existence does cease to remain when observer's observed; the reaction contains solutions to all, in all there are eight, inducing a ninth to precipitate when moon does trap black photons in paths of concentric surfaces: Blazoned, untapped Pardoned for past discretions -fault runs through institutions- Preference for repetition -Recidivist delusions- Fractured shores, deep lakes -Archaic diffusion- Vernacular of these wraiths -seeking restitution- Funeral stelae, monolithic in nature, Adorn the towering ray of the sun A gilded edge to a page in tatters by break of day, my race will be run Fortunes betrayed and the future's to come Gold chains in arrays on the altar beckon to the kingdom beyond twelfth dimension beholds -vibrational shift in the shells of our souls-

when waters run through thine soul a strike the chilling toll these cosmic bells you will know no more of flames -flames and shadows- keep up this rant, this banter and burdens will be wrought by work's end ------------------------------------------------------------- factions refraction of deeds yet done ------------------------------------------------------------- deny all -yes- you are weary and faithless… -rest- here-forth you shall not receive ------------------------------------------------------------- with waves or resonance impeded by void voice had no presence this burden of silence conveyed deployed ------------------------------------------------------------- what appears before me in mirrored lens' light captured in crystalline restraint arrested in time funneled through and focused on despair and loss of rite ------------------------------------------------------------- spite does have no malice in the singularity of the night ------------------------------------------------------------- one last confession on betrayal's revenge I've not the disposition of overwhelming desire turn plague on one's existence instead portend and thus inspire a call to arms raise high the seal and journey onward eternally unburdened with silence -------------------------------------------------------------

AUBADE LET YOUR LUCENT HAND SEAR OVER THE BLASTED SNOW AND SEND DOWN A RAVENOUS OMEN  THAT WHICH IS SWALLOWED IN AURAL  OXIDATION As You Look Through the Chasms of  Whispered Trees Comes a Firmament Sways  a Swallowing Eye Like the Rights of a Bastard Child  Born in Death By A Dagger He's Blessed in Blood  Cradled in Fire Constellations Have Warned of These Ominous Days  When Mankind Will Burn Under The Sun… of Winter Darkness Conforming Under the  Desolate Land The Beasts Are All Gathering Under The Sign A Tempest of Ashes Will  Swell From the Earth Covering Parcels on Undefiled  Pure White Snow Just Follow The Trails of a  Shimmering Light Reveal Unto Me Scalding Signs On the Rise ZENITH OF THE NIGHT AURORAL BOMBARDIER SPECTRAL VECTORS Consumptions As Plague Future Unfolds In Shimmering Waves Bound From The Cold Winter Sun CURTAINS OF FIRE Draped Over Heaven While Angels Fall From Blackened Skies  HER WRATH OF DESIRE Twisting and Turning the Earth A'Flame OUR SOULS ARE IGNITING As the Skies Bring Salvation Spreading It's Wings Over The Barren Land THE RAVENS ARE CRYING  Circling, Wandering Over Black Gates  Gathering Hearts For This Holy Grace

Unto Flames 05:53
 Unto Flames Gathered through the Grey,  Enraptured in her Glorious Light   Embrace A Soul Gone Astray,  Note these Eyes and Replace them with Sight Thou Dwellest in the House of Man Yet Hideth Creation from Me for a Wage  Blessed And Bathed in Your Spirit    You Silence This Conquering, Irrepressible Rage Rays from Ancient Horizons  Shall Guide Me Towards Your White Gates of Nemesis Entitled Before Your Throne I'm Poised with Passion and Justice and Plague Chorus A: Amen, mine enemies shall be  Afflicted with blight conviction And they shall be stripped of Jupiter's presence. And the new Golden Dawning of One's Own  Desire with the Will to oppress them  Blackened Heart within a bloodless Essence. That which You've done unto me so I shall do unto you.  Welcomed Before Your Throne This Fiery Phoenix of Blight. You're sodded with coarse retribution Gilded Conviction Encased with Perpetual Night

Jurisdiction Ends What doest lend matter to my form? An eye's upon my face and seas as deep with dust Yet blindly turned from earthen kind, a bludgeoned rebel runs And to the constant thoughts of man, the phase persist - Unending turn Decaying Orbit I subsist in, Cast away yet never yearn To vanquish tides of space, not time's ordeal to hold in place Yet faster, further, till forces felt no more and gravity conclude the race Bombardment: Heavy, marked forever, late Reflections: Hot cosmic rays of stone Revolution: Turning cold, still yet tethered Decay: Cast into the sea of darkness Iupiter heaves, And cast me back upon the ones whom I had left bereaved No force, nor time to question or lament tis matter's lust To close the system swathed in chaos and distrust And to the constant thoughts of man, the phase persist - Unending turn Decaying Orbit I subsist in, Cast away yet never yearn To vanquish tides of space, not time's ordeal to hold in place Yet faster, further, till forces felt no more and gravity conclude the race Bombardment: Heavy, marked forever, late Reflections: Hot cosmic rays of stone Revolution: Turning cold, still yet tethered Decay: Cast into the sea of darkness ----------------- A question, then:  Know you not why your tattered frame gibe power great... When were your home encircled not for a thousand counts, fools should slate, and cast your ships upon the seas, far reaching at mine own command- for soil never held in hand of man's foreboding grace ----------------- Iupiter heaved... and cast me back upon the ones whom I had left bereaved Thus end the constant thoughts of man, the phase desist - collide on return And as my eye doest burn, the tides return - in towering torrents they heave Through ionospheric haze, the last few gaze as I vanquish the air all doth breath And give one last cry as I vaporize all that stands from mountain to sea Bombardment: Heavy, marked forever, late Reflections: Hot cosmic rays of stone Revolution: Turning cold, still yet tethered Decay: Cast into the sea of darkness
