Triumphal March

Agonized screams inside the walls of slaughterhouse
Reminds us of the future we betrayed
Bodies, ripped and torn in the hands of motionless system
Cruel industrial murder of individual is reduced to a number
By every second flames of extermination are reaching higher and higher.
Triumphal march into supreme dominance over the earth demands sacrifices
The price of domination has turned out to be more devastating than ever imagined.
Pollution, murder, extinction, genocide
Triumphal march into supreme dominance over the earth means total destruction.
In search of new morality, free from depravation
We need actions, free from selfish pleasures
By every second, thousands of innocents die
By every hour, the death toll multiplies
The blood won't stop pouring through our hands
in order to change the world
I must first purge the old me
From distorted ideals
by acts of ruin and rebuild
At final judgement, the death will claim us all
The blood won't stop pouring through our hands

Pillars of Eternity

Pillars of eternity, like thorns on a rose,
pierce through the time as our world turned to stone
Consuming the horizon with wrathful darkness, leaving the gaping truth exposed
Embrace the warmth of the Winters End
Futile existence trapped in changing streams
Abandon hope as the sun descends
Damned souls stuck in everlasting dreams
Pillars of eternity, like thorns on a rose,
piercing the time as our world froze.
Consuming the horizon with wrathful darkness, leaving the gaping truth exposed
Embrace the warmth of the Winter’s End
Futile existence trapped in changing streams
Abandon all hope as the sun descends
Damned souls stuck in everlasting dreams
Within this path of salvation,
break free from the chains of eternity
On broken wings of solitude
There’s nothing left but fear
Pillars of eternity now crushed under the feet of time
Innocence of those long forgotten,
at last released from the frozen prison,
to freely wander beneath the dead blue sky
Faceless death beyond our time
I see myself, fading into emptiness

Shroud of abuse casted upon the dying soul.
Child of neglect, lay your head down low.
From the soil you rose just to meet your doom. Lke a velvet nightmare it’s been bound to happen, as the arch of demise crawls closer and closer.
Eyes wide open staring inside the coffin,
to forge a memory never to be forgotten.
Disbelief claims the truth
Sense of guilt rises (just to vanish),
Disbelief claims the truth
Reimbursed in pain
Unable to see behind the veil of mortality
Enter the palace of torment,
turn her own blood against her.
Bliss of belonging ripped away
the innocence of life fades
Left for dead, reimbursed in pain
Mesmerized by the anodyne she faces her biggest fear: the tunnel is already dark and all light is lost, forever.
She forces her way through the struggles of malice and as she stands before the awakened promise, mundane cry screeches through her spine:
YOU’LL MEET YOUR END
Grasping for surface,
to tear the tension
The last catharsis,
the death of retention
Like an ocean she roars as the water washes to empty shores
Deep within the abscence of love, life grabs ahold the echoes of hope.
