Divine Agony 03:24
Tortured by the divine Our cryptic saviour has deceived us Trapped in agony Our cryptic saviour has deceived us Our hands outstretched to the heavens Beseeching an end to our torment Our divine time for judgement Our divine agony Prayers ignored, unanswered We suffer without reprieve The scripture speaks in riddles The path to redemption veiled Misplaced confidence in false ideals Sanity diminished by spiritual reliance Clinging to our beliefs with failing strength Last vestiges of hope slowly slipping away The scripture speaks in riddles The path to redemption veiled The scripture speaks in riddles Our cryptic saviour has deceived us Without sustenance our faith decays Disillusioned we backslide Hands no more outstretched to the heavens There is no end to our torment No divine time for judgement No divine consciousness Only divine agony Only agony

Untouchable Upon the pedestal of the supercilious Casting judgement Imposing guilt for a multitude of sins Liar, bestowed of silver tongue Who claims the representation Of God amongst the mortal souls Intercessor with hidden agenda Peddling unscrupulously Afterlife insurance for their souls Lucrative and foolproof Unable to be proven fraudulent Deflecting questions By implicating lack of faith Imploring their confidence Placating fears through deception Untouchable Upon the pedestal of the supercilious Casting judgement Imposing guilt for their sins Perjurer, possessed of forked tongue Falsifying his representation Of Jehovah amongst the mortal souls Narcissist with self-serving agenda You are the transgressor with darkened heart Hypocritical charlatan who abuses trust Capitalizing on the naivety of the innocent Exploiting the vulnerable who sought your guidance Traitor to the doctrine you advocated Message skewed through misinterpretation Misaligned with human instinct The congregation ascertain your intentions Teachings discarded In pursuit of the tangible Their search for wholeness continues Your hubris incites your undoing The sheep become wolves Robbed of your embezzlements Stripped of your finery Cast down from your pulpit of deceit You become nothing

Degradation 03:10
Worn down by illogical activity Our resolve fractures irreparably Brainless idiocies control the herd Distractedly pursuing frivolity Worn down by illogical activity Our resolve fractures irreparably Downtrodden by those in authority Enforcing suffering to destroy harmony Denied the essence of humanity Reduced to subsisting in poverty Frail and manipulated Condemned to mediocrity Independent thought disparaged Uprising quashed ruthlessly Frail and manipulated Condemned to mediocrity Independent thought disparaged Uprising quashed ruthlessly Downtrodden by those in authority Enforcing suffering to destroy harmony Denied the essence of humanity Reduced to subsisting in poverty Our once proud dwellings in ruins Our garments little more than rags Disease running rampant in squalor Cloaked in the stench of failure Hand in hand we are dismembered Hand in hand we fall Our strength in unity crumbles Degradation consumes

Moonlight gleams in the chill of night Illuminating a barbaric horde amassing Worshippers of the blood god seeking victims Astride their stallions, driving their siege engines Their neighbours gates shall fall beneath the onslaught Slaughtering their champions, effortlessly conquering Their very existence an insult to the warmongers Dismayed by their own futility, their spirits broken Meekly they surrender, resigned to their execution Like a wave of plague decimating the lesser men Raiding their coffers to sieze their treasures Their whores raped and set ablaze for amusement Children thrown to hounds, shredded for dogmeat Their crest toppled, replaced with the head of their king Terminated on stakes hewn roughly Carved from the wreckage of their homes Weeping kin dispatched beneath their feet Twitching their last as impaled corpses drain Stricken from the annals of history The inferior race shall breed no more Their bloodline scourged from the earth Eradicated like disease spreading vermin Beneath contempt, worthless, insignificant Victims of sadistic puppet masters A path placemarked by the slain Their rigored hands point the way Along a meandering trail of decay A gruesome warning to their allies Abandoned lands haunted by the spirits Forever scarred by genocide

Deep in dismal realms of exile Upon stakes suspend the banished Skewered onto frameworks Erected in desolate fields Banished from the greatness they derided They left this world victims to the ungodly Indoctrinated with a miserable fallacy Deep in dismal realms of exile Upon stakes suspend the banished Each face bears an agonized rictus Skewered onto frameworks Erected in desolate fields Bloody pools pollute the earth Tainting the ground beneath Branded as pariahs With impure souls Denounced as heretics In furtive whispers Their names erased Never again uttered Their forgotten faces Fading from memory Now we also shall be shunned Driven through the forbidden gates Anguished we set forth Through lands feared by the righteous Blindly we follow the deceiver His passage of impurity Led us to this place Led us toward bleakness Led us to banishment

Monuments stand as malevolent trophies Devoted to decaying cadavers Revisiting a place of constant suffering Decaying pillars shaped from human torsos Ever-growing columns of deformed atrocities Ever-growing columns of deformed atrocities Designs of unnatural degradation Construction of horrific mutilation Amputated figures hang lifeless Amputated figures hang lifeless Monuments stand as malevolent trophies Devoted to decaying cadavers Decaying pillars shaped from human torsos Ever-growing columns of deformed atrocities Nailed, bound and carved, limbs wound, victims starved Nailed, bound and carved, limbs wound, victims starved

We are the corrupted and deformed lifeforces of this wasteland Cast into shackles of painful segregation and split apart from human interaction Kept from the righteous path and deprived of life this violence has become our infatuation Imprisoned in solid restraints we succumb to devastation We succumb to devastation We succumb to devastation We will never see the light of day again Hallucinations are our only friends Now this empty space corrodes our being Deformities lifeless Lifeless and void of substance Every creation and every cell manipulated Imprisoned deformity
9.
Rumours of a distant effigy Blasphemous to the name of the reigning deity Defying the sacred rites of the almighty Sacreligious obelisk worshipped blatantly By those who reneged the hallowed vows of their ancestry Defiled temples of the wayward children Defiled temples of the wayward children Feeding this abomination The congregation of the dissolute Ecstatic as hedonism dissolves morality Unrestrained debauchery hastening mortality Harvested before they can draw their final breath Hoisted to the pinnacle in preparation To assume their place atop their predecessors Their corpses affixed in putrefying layers Carnal offering to the expanding grandeur Fervour of the zealots swells with indignation Outnumbered they swarm to slay the impenitent Meagre forces swiftly vanquished and captured Lives sacrificed in oblation to the false messiah Interwoven with the ones they sought to destroy

A construction for the divine A sign of our praise A sign of our praise Cemented with the blood of its slaves A morbid signal to the evil that reigns Flesh encases a grim sculpture An horrific stalactite Headstone for a mass grave A decrepit landmark solitary Visible from the horizon Built upon ceremonial grounds Constructed by the herd Through their suffering raised A sign of our praise A sign of our praise With each blood offering it grows A sacramental gesture for the end Towering over the enfeebled A chilling reminder of their imminent demise Mesmerizing those who seek it Fearful yet filled with fascination The sculpture becomes the new divine Adulated by idolators speaking falsehood A sign of our praise A sign of our praise A sign of our praise A sign of our praise Beckoned to join those prostrated Coerced through fear into devotion Beckoned to join those prostrated Coerced through fear into devotion Forced to worship a barbaric memorial Huddled beneath its lengthening shadow
