A scream in the night, leads the lurker astray, I rejoice and delight in the continuous loss of purity
Whether lost or found, they’re one and the same, my morbid fascination, with their dragged-out decay
Visions once obscure, become clearer and clearer, an inhumane excellence, I’m terrified and I hate what I see
All of my weaknesses, make me easy prey, on the night the screaming stops, I am ripe to possess
I feel a presence here
It dissolves time and space
Too much to bear its face
Its form I can’t explain
I watch as they all shine, within the gleam in the dunes, it strangely illuminates and malforms their appearance
Their sounds permeate, I’m sinking whilst loathing, suffering my obsessions, I’ll materialise as an abomination
I feel a presence here
It dissolves time and space
Too much to bear its face
Its form I can’t explain
A psychic invasion, inside of the lie, fighting the inevitable, whispering their scathing attacks
Detach from nature, and abandon the soul, feed into my revenge, and renounce the material
It’s just my ecstasy, to relinquish my love, it’s not easy to miss, something which has never been
There is nothing left, all the lights have gone out, my memory’s fading, but I’ll imprint my misery on you forever
I feel a presence here
It dissolves time and space
Too much to bear its face
Its form I can’t explain
I hear the sirens
They’re calling my name
A stench of death
Exudes in here
I reap the curse
The one that I sow
Chewed to pieces
By the mouth of madness
So, remember the one
The omnipotent
Grim Tormentor…
Grim Tormentor…
Grim Tormentor…
Grim Tormentor…
I am the virus
I complete disorder
With endless corruption
These souls worth nothing
They gather around
The silver throne
I perceive an endless might, consumed by my extraction
Ergotism feeds my thrall, adopted to a strange extinction
An unknowable language makes me retch, it feeds my confusion
Words I’ll never understand, lead me to the black moon
They speak of some sort of love, I’m disallowed to indulge
Malady of the chosen ones, I observe their convulsions
Grim Tormentor…
Grim Tormentor…
Grim Tormentor…
Grim Tormentor…
How will they pay? Hate
The familiar problem, flesh
Painful regurgitation, scorns
Complacent druggist, dreams
I see a great rift haunted by a malignant ghost, an echo of an ominous voice frantically chattering about a vortex that should have never been opened, as its torment slowly…. chimes
I wait for their scars to open
and for the evil to emerge from the ground
The greatest play of our lives
Lost and absorbed in our lies
Preparing for the atrocity that will fuel the storm of an endless disconnect, an arduous process that concludes the continuous perpetuum in the disarray
A sign of calamity, waking the nameless, a consistent excursion, I’m dying and there is no escape
Seething in pain, enduring their torture, I’ll drown in the fumes, my torment here is my greatest pleasure
A disturbing shape, infests my appearance, a fleshy creation, attempting to escape from it is futile
The lawless universe, and the evil of nature, my organs they rot, along with a thousand dreams of my delight
I feel a presence here
It dissolves time and space
Too much to bear its face
Its form I can’t explain
A charted illusion, traps me in my fears, I’m chanting their names, without light in here their voices chew me
This whitened space, its emptiness taunts me, my divine isolation, a dismal descent from the ageless
I feel a presence here
It dissolves time and space
Too much to bear its face
Its form I can’t explain

The Psychographer
09:48
|
|||
Serene disarray, sedition of a thousand chances, leads forth my dismay
A conundrum, it is in here I think that I died, my soul ripped apart but I’m still breathing
Grand punishment, my wrongs are all that I can call my own, now I’m the one who’ll fucking pay
A constant despair, it might just eat what’s left of my mind, another journey to the reprise
A long hopeless search, a severed piece of cosmic strangeness, leads me to desolation
I am the constant, a speech of a strange method grieving, chronicling the coming rapture
The psychographer, whose scribblings desecrate these walls, in the hearts of all wraiths
In search of the void, basking in the heights beyond every wrath, the lurker of the barathrum
The thirst which holds all the keys
Absorbed in an endless denial
Disgust for my bestial flesh
The sacred disgorge my remains
I watch as the skies turn to red, they’ll take me far from this moon
The darkness constitutes for an endless and immeasurable return
These scars here only represent, the friends who left me behind
My limbs are only a farce, my eyes are what holds the true terror
The scopeless inferno below
Its opulent materials sedate
I drink from the lake of blood and fire
Its entrails expose me as a liar
These dissidents ploy against me, in an attempt to caress me
A consistent descent of the damned, we pray to the newfound flesh
Thrashing inside the rotting womb, drowning in a pool of vomit
Opaque signs from the ghost of decay, what could it make of my screams
The abyss in the distance gives its mysterious commands, it fails me, with this wound
I indulge the celestial matter with lustrous content, my form, it disgusts
A tool of corruption meets the needs that I desire, anguish, undignified
The doppelgänger breeds toxicity to combat its torment, spreading, their malady
Burning from within they express their discontent, swarming, with the locust
The aimless wanderer is maliciously misled, exploiting, their gloom
I leave the field, abandoning my search
and I leave behind, all my superficial desires
On the dawn of my expulsion, I undergo a strange surgery
A carnival of unknown origin with its face burned into me
A baffling problem of this so-called utopia, blasted from below the earth
The demolished zone littered with unearthed masks, an anomaly for the stars
A bloodless body of the celestial depicting only its most gruesome grimace
Rebirthing its lively nature, engulfed by my own condemnation
No more will I dream
My passions they fade here
Ruled by my creation
My own abomination
I carry this demon
It sits here on my back
I hear its voice in me
It tells me what to think
It clears my mind for me
All its thoughts are mine
It made me its psychograph
Why won’t it fucking die!

Thrall
13:21
|
|||
This formidable exigency
A neon glow which infests and burns my skin, it incapacitates me
Choking on my own saliva, entombed within my thrall, a fool
A thousand pale monoliths, binding their grand monuments, in bloom
Lightning echoes in the past they’re welcomed to the surface, all these worms
Larvae crawl inside my brain, and lead me to their ruin, aghast
Everything in here has died, except for my charred body and disdain
Clusters of calamities
This desolation’s malformed
Divisions of celestial matter
Ignite the benighted ones
Egregious moon, it changes colour and shape
My precious spleen, protects me from their scorn and hate
This senseless perusal, leads only to sorrow and pain
but I’m not the one, engulfed by the grip of winter
A maelstrom, washes away the present moment
The enemy, lets me run free in my prison
Aimlessly moving, I question if I even exist
Within my thrall, my soul becomes a foreign body
Nothing interesting ever happens here, it all just endlessly repeats itself
I am lost in the nonsense of this tomb, but I can’t leave as I need to be controlled
The keys to the whole prison are in here, but I see only what I want to see
My speech’s stilted from the lack of air; my plight so trivial, it no longer hurts
An uneventful dwindling awaits me, and I’m just drifting from one cell to the next
In my chains I’m protected from the cold, no rhyme or reason to my comfort, I am free
A magnified contention absorbs me, it’s the only flame left that burns in here
These walls here are all which will remain of me, and I colour them with my despondency
I implode without any second chances
I detach from all here that surrounds me
The Devil contorts those left in my mind’s eye
My memories ripped out along with my intestines
Lurker
Devil
Worship my
Thrall
Mourning
The lost faces
A ghost in my window stares at me, but I’m too blind to realise it’s just me
The storm, which I’m protected from in here, flawless by design in its lifelessness
Returning to the den of constant sighs, with time they fade, but still echo in here sometimes
These illusions let me lose myself, no one to blame, it has always been my choice
The barathrum blooms, takes me away from here
It pulls me deeper within, it marks me with its branding iron

Ergot
21:47
|
|||
A divine liquid, I sing for all the faces of calamity, and I yell out for mercilessness as an overwhelming facetiousness absorbs me. My essence was stolen from me, hidden inside streaks of yellow bile and an oath for electric blood, to reignite the old flame of the somnambulist who died in these arms.
They ingested ergot just to survive, clinging desperately to the last thread of enlightenment. You’re the same as I am, traversing across this caliginous tomb. A profound fear of abandonment in the maladaptive glossolalia permeating within these psychography stained walls which are mine, you’ll extract only the most luxurious materials of that which was left by the wise, and the only purpose of my begetting was just to obscure the immaterial which floats below my fabled regression into the land. I have borne witness to the immeasurable light and sound. I have watched as time and space collapsed in on itself, merely saved by the comfort of the bearer of light, and with their unfathomable face, I am reborn.
An uncorrupted dark unfurling related to its messianic climax, catapulted only by the most luxurious demands
The unassuming nomad preaching only the dismal word of their shackling in freedom, feeding off the torment of all those who bore witness to their face
A gradual recovery of the necessary mutilations which appeased their past misgivings, the good song they thought they sang was only one of jealousy
In opposition to their instincts, they fell further down the barathrum, offering their possessions to buy salvation from their rule
To hypnotise those once extinct, a dire soul which always looms, the beast in death of demons, they put salt inside their wounds
An obfuscation which sees no change but serves only to obsess, those now lost hope it’ll bring back life, but it only brings more pain
Overwhelmed by hatred for the faceless ones who brought me here, they stick their hooks inside my spine and celebrate my agony
Hundreds of rats under my skin, chew aimlessly into my humours, I am their saviour and with me they’ll crawl inside the sarcophagus
Mesmerised
By my reflection
It repulses me
but this only draws me nearer
I am king
So where is my throne?
I know only pain
So where is my reward?
My profound loneliness
Protects me from evil
I reached a plateau
In my self-loathing
These thoughtless nights
Only make me shiver
The locust laughs
and it only makes me quiver
Another gasp
Interrupts my breathing
I breed calamity
It reminds me of needing
I’m lost observing
These contorting faces
Their tragedies here
Are to fulfil my wishes
Those deafening screams
Are my absolution
Staring down the cliff
Bowing to the worm’s head
A clandestine cult
Speaks of grand machinations
Even these atrocities
I can’t call my own
The putrescent sun penetrates those once blackened eyes of the harvester, a magnetism from the sky, gives way unto further impiety
No justice for these misdeeds, but only an exacerbation of humiliation, a congregation of the miscreants, a sorrowful charade
A descendant of the nuclear winter watches over those forlorn ruins, still reaping these unending consequences in a stifled form of grief
I anticipate my journey into the abyss, and the emptiness it brings, when the fucking sun has risen, that’s when I’ll take my leave
The gates are open
and I’m in my grave
Even in death
I cannot escape
The fruits of my labour
I see myself in the vines
My carnivorous decline
In the not-too-distant past
The dystopian treatise
Drives me towards the non-future
I’m enamoured by its flame
The ruins of its shadow burn
The decadence of power
and the confines of the carnal
Ending their inquisitions
They’re blown to smithereens
I sit here trapped in my demise, it is cold in here
My soul too deformed to recognise, I broke from the continuum
I stand for thee to magnetise
To satisfy me they’ll materialise
I am calmed and freed by its magnitude, this is my opium
To stare within the macrocosm, I drown beneath the jewels
The mystery of my survival, I am a snake within the shadows
My saviour lies in control, the outside world can’t hurt me here
With their dismal sanguine dreams
They perpetuate my melancholy
The torment in these histrionics
A torture chamber in my body
A maladapted greed pulls me through this wicked paradox
These instantaneous moments serve only as the toil for our gathering
I am the wound, a never-ending vacuum
I am the wound, a glaring permanence
I am the wound, the syndrome of our grieving
I am the wound, I mark their insipid petulance
Blinded by the one and only night on which I felt like a whole
I was only placed as a reminder of their veiled impotence
I am the wound, a never-ending vacuum
I am the wound, a glaring permanence
I am the wound, the syndrome of our grieving
I am the wound, I mark their insipid petulance
I am the wound, a never-ending vacuum
I am the wound, a glaring permanence
I am the wound, the syndrome of our grieving
I am the wound, I mark their insipid petulance
To divulge the poison’s greatness, would only be a sign of great incompetence
The shallow breathing in these waters drowns out the noise of kindred spirits
I am the wound, a never-ending vacuum
I am the wound, a glaring permanence
I am the wound, the syndrome of our grieving
I am the wound, I mark their insipid petulance
I am the wound…...
Tainted by my own proclivity to dream, washed ashore I dwell on my embarrassment
Nausea, the ink has forever left its stain, as I enter this strange and noxious house
To leave a hole I drown in my own vomit, a paradise in my benign anaesthesia
A spasm puts an end to this masquerade, a rebirth brings me another reinforcement
Green
Sinking
Into the blue
The offering
I traverse
Bloodless Mars
Untouched on the steppe, I am inhaling soot, as a ghost of the dismal winter
To gnash at the sight of glee and scour, pray for the miracle back in time
I’m on the lam, where I could have been born
Attempt to forget, and try to avoid
My blood on the ice, they sever the plains
I’ll restart the world, as the destroyer of time
And with their twisted minds, they become possessed by their celestial tormentors, robust exterminators and purveyors of deafening fear
These distorting eyes lead me to the inferno riddled with ergot
and not even the humidity can drag me across the macadam
The atmosphere in the thespian city engulfed by fire
A parallax which begets only more and more out of all past atrocities
A disastrous drought pulls me through the nocturnal meridian
I’m dancing to and fro during these never-ending nights
and for a time, the nuclear winter was only a figment of my nightmares
since then, it has become so cold, only my ergotism keeps me warm
Disturbed by the spiritual aggressor perpetuating war, greed and disease, whilst sailing the seas of radiation and riding on their triumph over life
An incipit materialisation of the underground eye of fatalism, imprinting a simulacrum over these wretched, decaying skies, which are only known by the unknown

My Extraction
13:08
|
|||
A great evil lies dormant in these walls
Its rage exponentially exacerbates in me
As I slowly manifest in my cocoon
I seethe as I anticipate the switch
My disgrace is what they orchestrate
An existence tainted by hauntology
It strikes me only with its meaningless roars
Like an abandoned child born without a face
My body stricken by anaemia
I try to figure out the aetiology
In the shade I wither with exuberance
Everything is possible, yet nothing is
Malign shapes reflected on the field
I observe these shadows precariously
The perilous position I find them in
The phantom of erosion carries my grief
Another failure in atoning for my sins
I execrate for they interrupt my feast
These fictitious remarks will rearrange
These curses are realigned with my despair
My extraction reaping from their wont
The barathrum emerging from the black
My crucifix cannot protect me here
I check my name and its already on the list
I can’t escape from that which I forfeit
I check my vitals and the results are mixed
Looking for the broken piece, I took the bait
With this callow naivety, I’ll self-destruct
I sold my soul for the lies they told me here
They gather as the majesty here falls
The joy it brings when they fall into despair
They talk of piety when they hear of my duress
And still, I find myself full of belief
The anguish that they bring is hyacinthine
These conversations only leave me seeing red
I can’t help but lift my decrepit fist in vain
Take me somewhere where the birds sing
I no longer want to dwell here
Trapped in this vociferous cult
A concrete jungle in which I’m drowning
I declare war on my surroundings
To exercise my despotism
I find my most intimate friends
Only in my most brutal visions
Stuck in a play without an ending
Like all the things I took for certain
They’re disappearing right before me
They vanish here without a trace
My skull is cracked and my brain’s leaking
The accidental joy of my trepanning
I find with it my one true calling
Inside my manual of terror
The requiem of an appalling desultory, it whispers beneath me
In awe of the last jaded beast, it lost its strength without veneer
I exclaim my statement of contempt, a failure of these dystopian times
An edifice which seems to reaffirm the plagues, with indolence it burns out
I desire to put out the flame of violence, I know I hold the fire in me
This posturing can’t hide my fear of evil, without love I’ll never see tomorrow
I see only pain
In the nuclear house
I hear only screams
In my victorious plight
And I have no objections
Trapped in my asylum
Which I know I can’t leave
So, humiliate me some more
These asylum tourists
I am their inferno
their atrocious exhibit
their divine comedy
As I embrace the feeling of submission, they force open my eyes
I drift and embrace their prayers, and the crowns as they are trembling
They almost always remind me, of the most glowing of plains
They live in my memories, along with the promises that they made
The insight from the wilderness, by dawn of my inmost soul
My paradise escapes me, like the gods of the deep
The shadow of the abyss, exposes me as a fool
It is all rather auspicious, so why shan’t I delight
I slither around in the dirt; will it wash away all my pain
Of everything that brings me shame, this prospect scares me the most
An abstract pattern
A ghost of these structures
I am cursed to remember
What it may have looked like
It was as if time and space
Folded in on themselves
Extinction of man
Extinction in me

Lurker of the Barathrum
13:24
|
|||
A born meddler, drowning in silence
Clamorous sorrows, drive me home
This bed of sickness, is anathema to me
I dash into the woods, in a state of blind horror
I lay bare these questions, henceforth they’ll take my soul
The meaning in the stars, when will the black moon vanish?
Exiguous myrmidons, on the hollow sounding steps
A sight of infinite pain, its serenity no longer obscures
So, witness my duality, during these egregious nights
To fester in my paroxysms, I walk to where the sun has set
A meaningless and endless trail, but I know of nothing else
It is here I aimlessly walk forever, waiting for it all to end
I long for their piety, and I will pray for a better way
The endless chattering of their futures, which sounds like gibberish to me
A victim of credulity, I gaze upon the heavens
An insoluble mystery, I am marred by these inscriptions
and my skin is marked by this ugly lichen growth
Extinction pointing downwards, just as I had seen it on the rock
All the rivers here will dry, I saw it written amongst the stones
but my will still hasn’t died, I remembered it before I died
To cut the grain of this separation, the awful words of the consecration
Endless moans grow louder here, their sound glowing and indescribable
In darkness I fly away, I form these shapes to my impression
Lurking with a faint glimmer of hope, travelling down this bottomless pit
I wish to dream of a way, I hope to find it when I’m lucid
I’ll escape to the astral, you won’t have to walk me up there
The inferno after dark
I long for it with a great pity
This hysteria is my reality
Exposed for the whole world to see
Thrashing to and fro with all these changes
I am frail from this contemplation
Content and happy, they watch me weeping
Merriment sparks in their eyes, they know I’m needing
To keep me safe in the barathrum, my brain fog leads me astray
They’ve magnified my disease, to protect me from my own self
and why should I sit here and wait, when I could be someone else
So, keep me away from the fuel, or I’ll set the whole world ablaze
In the pond of recollection
There is not much left of my reflection
In the forest, my congregation
I connect to the weeds in question
Spellbound without much trepidation
I oblige with a little perturbation
I feel the torment of a thousand ages
I hear their voices, but I can’t see their faces
A solitude which crowns me, as the emperor of this empty hole
and my only choice is to dig, one day I’ll emerge on the other side
A muffled silence fills my cocoon, and I embrace the darkness round me
Year after year I remain, like static, but I’ve run out of offerings
An immaculate lack of dignity, I have become the words I speak, disgusting and unquestionable
In the corner of this poised corruption, I carry the toil of all evil doers, a great work of ages
A most terrible discovery, the atrocious deception of the holy, the utmost forbidden of all sights
This muffled and constant cacophony, a frightful yet exceptional mistake, its sound makes me retch
The old star is still gleaming, it blazes through the empty skies, their wake indolent
A cold whisper, the crash which destroys the day and its stark quintessence, with these pathetic divinations
An imperfect congruence, the lost faces of calamity now stalk me here, as I live in constant fear
Infinity is all which I see, I exhibit only the most loathsome caresses, it’s just I against I
and the house still burns, I sing with all the ghosts inside the fire, with them I am accepted
The joy of ergot keeps me still, I will escape the thrall of my desires, on the night the screaming stops
