Purposed for the Balance

You try to save me from what you're about to do
Claiming it is a sin, we are bound to partake
God's unwanted children, we are imperfect creatures
Purposed for the balance
We were made to witness you
Fulfilling your desire for validation
My core was sown in the field
And if I sin then my punishment is divided with the reaper
From the ashes of the great burn I was made
Searching for truth in the voiceless vale
You have deceived us with your promise of salvation
Your words wither like tears in the frozen wind
We are trapped in the loop, pleading for freedom
Incarcerated by your empty thoughts, forlorn in the yearning
Seeking a shapeless power, if my reality is twisted in the absence of observation
How can I believe in your myths of a heaven?
Crushed by the sudden impact, a meteoric strike
Confounded in the void, a plane of catastrophe and emptiness
Torn asunder by this forsaken hopelessness
By the great betrayal we were taught humanity
You took away our natural place
Extinguished our burning need for catharsis
You left us waiting, needing, feeling heartache, grieving all for nothing.

Ectopotence

Am I to walk aimlessly in the timeless plane?
Or is it that I am living in a dream?
In the end we all came from this singularity
Even light can't sustain my gravity
All you take is a coffin with you when you die
I will take penance and sorrow but never regression or love
My visage will decay into a formless shape
If memory should falter I will be lost to this world
When I am gone you shall witness in your memories
As the willow is deformed by hungry disease
So too will my deeds be twisted by time
As the violent winds tear over canyons old
So too will my voice be twisted by time
Though you may be lonely at times
Our unity will give you control over power
Do not recoil when I guide your hand
I have discovered this so fleeting life
It's covered in deceit and lies
So smothered by the killing cloud
Made from the ashes of the burn
A pyre of endoteric pride
Wilting the darkness with its light.

Shadows in the Terminus

Since you have never bled, how could you recognize red?
You flee but we still stand strong
Custodians of an ancient threat
For we breathe life and death into the galaxies
All men's souls are immortal
But the soul of the righteous is also divine
We persist by the moment of bravery
That shook the whole of time and space
We are not the vessels that contain the flame
We are the explosions thundering in the iron
We live in a different state of consciousness
Decorated with bleeding hearts
Turned crimson by sacrificial glory.

Incorrigible Union
06:53
|

We are within you
If you destroy us you will kill yourself
If you feed us we will break your cage
If you expose us you will be judged
But if you grow with us you will be honored forever
We are as good as the siren's hymn
As evil as the songbird's dirge
We are what you perceive us to be
The incorrigible union of indestructible force
Join yourself and let us coalesce ourselves
Time is a fleeting construct; we are the cosmos, so let time grow old and die
Call upon us to inscribe the barren pages
Our words weave the fabric to silence the chattering of fools
They who proclaim your madness, yet you are enlightened
Memory is a burden, but do not be afraid my child, because you wield its latent power
And if you did choose to remember, hold only the fires which immolate your soul
And if you did choose to remember, remember us.
