- A Diamond For Disease
In denial of the thoughts that our feelings dissolve
Your words were always chosen wisely, disguising all intent
Amidst the poetry, I thought I heard you say,
"Let's make a deal, a diamond for disease...
Oh, Christ, it's a fair trade! A diamond for disease."
Then the promise of never was as embracing as the act of strangulation
- Forced To Rock
Now the promise of never is replaced with half-hearted lies.
Sworn to kill with this diamond will and scarlet painted eyes.
Forced to rock!
Rebellion, Rebellion.
In the name of devil starve.
To embrace our sins with all we are.
- Handbook For The Recently Deceased
When I surrendered,
became what I am not.
A false facade of splendor,
led me here to rot.
On your back you showed what you were worth.
And that lie spoke a thousand words.
Where is your righteousness?
- Let Me Be The One
I will end this fight tonight.
Revenge is what I have in mind.
With these words, my words, just let it be known
I will haunt you wherever you go.
Let me be the one all lovers despise,
the one whose bane you cannot disguise.
So it is done and forever mine,
- Lust Before the Maggots Conquest
You whose amber eyes are the curse of all loneliness
Who greets life with a kiss of indifference
You whose vanity must guide the garden path and surely surpass your suffocating pride
Consummate in selfish ways, have I lost my will?
Lost sense of self, it is done. I know I must be.. falling forever when bonds start to sever
I know I'll hope and pray you've had your fill
The promise of never was my oath forever
I know I hope and pray you've had your fill of lust before the maggots conquest
- Maddening Disdain
And it came again, like tears for a long lost friend
Tears that find their rest
Amidst words too sordid to comprehend
And it came bearing gifts
Of pain, frankincense, and her
None had a home here, none but the pain
- My Oath To Madness
Awake, awake for the dream has failed
and failure speaks the purest truth.
Time was lost before our eyes,
now on your knees to worship depravity.
My oath to madness whispered seven times,
can hold the answer within all these lies.
- No One Lies To The Dead
Dead, what has come to be
the drowning eyes of the wretched sea
A diseased victim of humanity,
a soul sickened by this decree.
Can you hide what your tongue conceals?
How does it feel?
You were lying with the dead.
- Return
All hail! The phrase of tainted prose
The etchings that cover the rose
Well of thought of you, must surely be denied
For impure are the arts
That are painted in your eyes
Tonight, our lies shall be known, my faithless one
Tonight, our lies shall be known
- Scornstar
Piercing my penance
The revilement of your ways
Now with eyes betrayed
And my sorrow denied
Regret would stay and follow your side
Loving only your life
Until that day
- Servants To The Night
I remember, the kiss of shame.
The hopeless greed that once united
our paths from earth to the wretched night.
Now we are closer to hell than to wholeness.
Forever in lustful disdain.
The drowning heart shall always remain,
in fear of our lustful disdain.
- Shattering The Spell
Shattering The Spell
Are my hands not black?
Black with the filth of this ageless denial?
From the first birthing breath, to the stillness of death
The light of the "right" has been deceived
And thus we live our lives
