The jaws unhinge
Bellowing virulent air
Humanity’s lungs contract, they concede
These are the last throws of a dying world
The world Panics as the terror sets in
While the rich eat the rest out of their skin
Sitting in their ivory towers
built on the backs of the common man
The beast has shown its teeth
And they chose apathy
Bearing its teeth, it threatens all
And they chose apathy
Consume, digest
Take back what is yours
You gave us life
Now take it away
Another failed experiment
The collapse of a species
At the top, what a contradiction
As they sink into an early grave
"How much blood must be spilled?
How many god’s will you pray to?
Understand there is no savior.
There never has been.
I am all consuming darkness,
I am the gnawing doubt in the back of your mind
As you slip into nothingness
Accept you were always mine.
This whole planet would be wiped clean.
Culling the cretins that pollute the air we breathe.
Stealing the innocence from children
You should have never had
You’ve done the hard work for me
Burning the flesh of this Earth
I watch forever waiting
As this planet falls to its knees"
Existence long before man came
Created or evolved the ending is the same
Taken for granted the ground beneath
Like a star light years away
You’re already deceased
We watch the grotesque unfold
As they turn on themselves
Cast out and exiled
Our control taken by the flesh
Fear Bred into the minds of billions
What sadistic manipulation
Half full, half empty
The glass is broke
The greatest flaw
In humanity
Constant hunt for something greater
Never to be satisfied
The grass is always greener
When you choose to hide
As you stare into space
Remember your insignificance
You tried and failed
Now find silence in yourself
Such a disappointment
Destroying your own home
Imagine a world without such greed
As you continue to rape this land
As you continue to rape this land
Triumphantly upon your kill you stand
Like a fucking poacher
You just brought about your own extinction
Wipe the slate clean
Never seen again
weak minded fools wandered aimlessly
Seeking answers to questions that they’ll never understand
Searching for a higher purpose
You’re nothing, you’re useless
You are but man
Clutching to the edge of the abyss.
And on this day, common sense dies
The masked overseers demand your blood
Caught in the never ending cycle
Risking it all for their unsoiled hands
I am all consuming darkness,
I am the gnawing doubt in the back of your mind
As you slip into nothingness
Accept you were always mine.
This leech
Under the skin tearing at the flesh
Leaving nothing but sinew and bone left
This Leech
Begging for freedom but finding none
We could’ve won this fight but it’s too far gone
Hang up
The noose
I want the black
pestilence spreads across the Earth
No one is safe,
the rich and poor,
all die the same
Burning to death
Drowning on land
The bodies line the trucks
Corpses Dumped into
Mass graves
Life will start anew
Atop a mass grave
Invisible wars fought without ammunition
A proxy for all excuses we’ve used for tradition
Everything we teach
Passed down by corrupt leaders
Who claimed all others were weak
They use fear
To control the masses
Still caught up in delusions
What they’ve done is right
With no one to blame
And no where to run
Such arrogance for eons
It’s time to reap what we’ve sown
For those that come after
Standing upon the ashes
Remember us
But not for what we’ve done
But what we had not
Remember us
And we
return
to the
earth
All that’s
left is
Silence

An artery cut will bleed til it’s empty
Seeing no one tend to the gaping wound
So why watch this pool of blood rise
When the scalpel is in their hands.
Rip out the corruption at the roots
Where it’s had a foothold for too long
I can’t remember the last time
I closed my eyes and found peace
There is no hope here.
This is the birth place of death.
The mind begins to unravel
Claustrophobia, agoraphobia
No comfort to quell these demons
Just the soft glow of a portal below
Turn the lights low, shelter your eyes
Don’t deviate beliefs
With your blinders on, march forth
Condemn what you can’t understand
You are the darkness living amongst man.
Peeling the layers of obfuscation back
Enough to justify, not practice what you preach
When you pray to god what do you say?
Killing in the name of a dead god.
I want to end the perception shown of our species
Corrected nature driven instincts to believe
In a false hope designed to keep us bound
Never moving just working to stay above the ground
But what the fuck is the point?
You’ll never be heard
They will never listen to your plea
Somehow you think they’re on your team
No one ever cares
Not the soulless carrions of disease
Yet you still believe their regurgitations
No one will fight for you
So why fight for them
When the rug is pulled out
Fall to your knees like you always do
And then you stare in awe
As this horrifying cycle repeats
Just another casualty
A casualty of neglect
Just another casualty
Of oppression.
The hive always swarms behind the queen
Yet begging for freedom never seen
Clinging to the promise of a time now lost
As if it were a lucid dream
Night descends upon us all in these dire times
Screaming for help fallen on deaf ears
We are nothing more than the pawns in their game
A constant reminder of what they are…
Expendable…
We owe them nothing.
As the fissures grow deeper
And the unknown becomes the known
We will all be forgotten
Only then will we be equals
I can’t say I’m surprised
At the way the world reacts to inequality
Something seemingly so simple
Becomes a civil war
Families beg for freedom to live
Families beg for safety
They don’t have to come at a cost
I won’t stand by idly and watch
My bloodline fall victim to them
There’s the line in the sand
Dig the graves where I stand
Let the fortunate pretend to suffer
Let the rich step down from their kingdoms
In the end, close the body bags
Fill the graves where I stand
There’s no amount of expiation
For humanity to give
They cannot come back from this
They don’t deserve to live
They continue to divide us
While we fight for the scraps
They continue to divide us
Take up arms and fight back
While we struggle to breathe
They’ve been standing on our throats
Our Lungs filled with hatred for each other
The ouroboros continues to feed
They continue to divide us
While we fight for the scraps
They continue to divide us
They profit from the lives of the innocent
Giving power to greed
Monolithic faceless beings
Blood oils their machine
We won’t ever rest
While destruction screams
Creation toils in silence
This country is poison
Soaked in the blood of indigenous
The soil beneath our feet will give way
We all slip into the abyss
The ouroboros continues to feed
On its tail forever wrapped around our lives
The cycle will never end
Cut off the head of the bastard snake
And watch it bleed
As the blood pours from its neck
Vermin drown attempting to adjust to
A new world and find another dividing line
The head will grow back
And when that day comes
The ouroboros will feed again
The ouroboros continues to feed…
