Death Game

Tag, you’re dead
Off with your head
Back and forth
Play catch with lead
Hop scotch bear trap
Gnash and wail
X me out
We’re all in hell
Come and see
Glassy eyes and poisoned smiles
When the audience is bored
The gods will have had enough
And then there were none
Struggling to be one
A game of death
We come undone
Thunderous applause
The boredom of the gods
Life or death at the flip of a coin
Pawns of celestial petulance

Everything pure clouds with age
The clearest of intentions will be murky tomorrow
Scrub until you bleed
Excise your blemished skin
All that your children’s children will see
Maggot ridden infections
The half life of truth
Benevolence spoils
Ingredients for gruel or cake
All have an expiration date
Climb high towards
The heaven you sought
But the ladder you build
Is already rotting

Revolver, revolver
Let’s play a game of chance
Line up the bullets
1 to 6
Carousel of fate
The chamber clicks
1 for luck
1 for the circumstances
1 for the ones we’ve fucked
1 for the ones dead at our feet
1 for me and the monster I’ve become
1 as you take the blood money and run
Enclosed on all sides
No one escapes hell
The odds forever stacked against us
All we’ve got is time to kill
|

A duplicate, no matter how convincing
The mask will fall under scrutiny
When you lost your soul
To the cult of blood and sulfur
Disappeared and left a hole
The Smirking Ones filed it with a joke
Distorted face
Axis at 89 degrees
The Smirking One in you
Seen by the Smirking One in me
The Smirking One in you
Seen by the Smirking One in me
Birds of a feather
Recognize the strings
Holding up the other

First you make your heart a stone
Paint it gold so no one knows
Fill your head with sour blood
Paint the world you see red
Hide your weakness with a knife
Sharpened to a gleaming edge
Practice on the sick and dying
Trail of the unwanted dead
Study the vitals
Keep your rotting torso hidden
Lock their eyes upon your target
Cover your flaws with their entrails
Crushing flower petals
So the hem of your clothes are sweet
You can fool everyone but the flies
You can fool everyone but the flies

9th Radiance

I am radiant
Decayed by the shadow of worship
The darkness of deep knowledge
Cold fire burning brightly
A blink within the depths
Leaning against the walls of the Aether
Closer to the Infinite-and-Zero than the light of the sun
A withering vine climbs high
Not long for the wrath of day
Waiting to shed my skin
A soul grotesque
To eyes above the depths
Look
At
Me
I
Am
Radiant

The camera spares no one
What it shows, what it captures
Bending branches and bones into focus
Conductor of reality
The colours play
What you want the shapes to hear
Tilt and shake
Blur and focus
Light and murk
Til we know the heroes and villains
“He’s the one we see at a slant”
“He’s the one who must be crooked”
Arbiter, filmographer
Lights, camera, gavel

$665.95 plus tax
The devil counts his gold
Nailed across your head
How easily you sold
$666 with no additional fee
To forge a silver bullet
Make me swallow
Bring the devil my teeth
No cloak or hood could hide
The price of your soul
Written on your eyes
Begging for the highest bid
Merchants in the temple
Selling only themselves
Sanctified by Christ and Satan themselves

Plus, minus, zero sum
Two from three leads back to one
Left the gods who point to more
Eros, life, the additive
Right the gods who live to take
Subtractive, death, Thanatos
All hail the godhead
Chaos reigns
All from it flows
Ascending beyond
With, without
Infinite-and-Zero
The right will eat the left hand
Then turn to consume itself
The head remains with nothing else
Laughing, smiling, eternal

Here we see
The true colour of blood
Attuned to hues of dark
Illuminated by the moon
Arrows of the sun
Blind and murk
Faces hidden, solar mask
Crack from the hands of the moon
Run from the night sky
As your skin begins to peel
Irradiated flesh exposed
A truly rotten fruit
The dormant seeds awaken
Of the twisted poison tree
That is you

The Hollow Tower
01:55
|

|
Feel it in your bones
Touch the door to the Hollow Tower
Bringing you to ascension
Bathed in the blood of all you’ve known
Betrayal, slaughter
Turn all your friends to monsters
One by one, bring them down
For the promise of a crown
Building bricks with bone and blood
Thrown through windows
One by one
What a kingdom you’ve built
Deep beneath the skin
You and me are the same
We all just want to be gods
So hollow within
