Final Winter

Dead earth
Three billion klicks
From our new hope
Annihilated Eden
Humanity eloped
We have fled before
But now we’ve become
Far flung from home
Now among the stars
Silent and serene
The surface sparkled
Like diamonds
In the faint starlight
On the horizon
A wall of light
The titan comes
Stampede of white
Messenger
Of our doom
We take out the supplies
But we won’t last the-
Storm blows
A lethal snow
Methane ice
Geysers erupt
Into the polar
Void of the sky
Inhospitable, pitiable
All white,
All die,
Nothing survives
In the morning,
Darkness returns
Ghost of primates
Embossed in the snow
Nothing left,
But tooth and bone
We dug our last graves
On our new frozen home

Scars / mold / lives
Have you ever known someone
I / know / I
Have. Someone who dreads to
Fall / a- / -sleep?
Flashbacks await them
All signs say this is the end
Mortal terror shakes them and
All signs say this is the-
End / for / me
Have you ever hurt someone?
I / know / I
Have panicked when I
Fall / a- / -sleep
Nightmares await me when
All / goes / dark
Gnashing and laughing
Awaits in my dreams
Every night: a prison
Nothing but pain / buried in recesses,
Scarification / covered with abcesses
Crush, and mulch, crush, and mulch,
Every night, again and again
Crush, and mulch, crush, and mulch,
Every night, again and again and -
Scars / mold / lives
How could you hurt someone?
Will / of / dawn
Holding on when there is
No / more / light
Cold sweat; it’s coming soon:
All / goes / dark
Memories showered / like raining meteors
The tools of the torturer / soon unfold for us
Again and again and again
Again and again and again
Ghosts rise
My demise

Temple of Chaos
03:41
|
|

Observers with unbroken apprehensions
Countless eyes
Watching from a distance
Abhorred by the apparent violence
“It’s distracting everyone”
“Make them all stop”
Drifting overhead a sea of bodies
Thrown higher and higher
Ethanol and sex mixing into the monstrous sounds
Fuel for the fire
Countless eyes
Watching from a distance
Preparing for the impending violence
I am one with the horde
Mass has begun
The temple of chaos
A dogma built on choice
Others come to fear us
Our presence is our voice
The devoted make these
Concrete and hallowed grounds
Littered with spilled liquids
Their place to worship sounds
Peace on Earth will take vacation
For turbulence without cessation
Output for hostile aggression
Violence without intention
Argument for man’s regression
Come to dance at your discretion

To the skies
Shores will rise
Oceans wide
We survive
In the night
We take flight
We know
(Darker skies)
Our demise
Earth will die
So we go
[Chorus:]
We will fly
_ wings of ice
To the void
Propelled by winds from the sun
Poisoned lakes
_ acid wastes
Into space
Now we start our solar run
Solar sails
Space age whales
Shores will rise
(Waterways)
To endless days
You have failed
So we go
[Chorus]
Evolve chlorophyllic sacks and fly
[Chorus]
New arms race
Into space
All the fish
Our final wish
To the skies
Shores will rise
Oceans wide
We survive

Many Severed Parts

Homogenous erasure
Biological failure
Identity is imperfection
Uniqueness; a bad reflection
Mutations error curation
Sterilized before birth and
Caged up from the cradle stages
Fed until a monstrous girth,
Swelling, filling steel cages,
Feeding from the factory seeding,
Forcing artificial breeding,
Rolled into the mulching grinders,
Carved up until the end of time
Sali- / -vating
At the / same flesh
Weakness
Diversity is in genetics:
Mistakes in a cloning process
Best specimen will still shit and eat:
Mitochondrial ancestral feat
Not progress, but it's steps forward
Denied their birthright of worth,
Fed until a monstrous girth,
Given nothing but their wages,
Slowly filling traffic gauges,
Feeding off the lack of greeting,
Forcing artificial seeding,
Merging with data in the machines,
Marks the end to the Anthropocene
Hormones / building
Carnal / urges
You are / here be-
-cause two / humans
Fucked
Forty-two genomes
Forty-two weakened links
Slave to our impulses
Willpower to feel important
Forty-two genomes
Forty-two weakened links
Slave to our impulses
Differences made to feel important
Ignore it
We can’t keep
This going
Self-important meat
We can’t keep
This up for all time
Mistakes repeating
Repeating
Mistakes that repeat repeat

Beneath the sapphire
Of this sphere
At a depth that your body
Would be compressed
And collapse under the stress
Of a thousand atmospheres
We fear what’s down here
Microscopic mandibles fed
On the cells of the dead
That tumble from
Obsidian skies
Viscous blizzards
That rain torrents of gizzards
Of excrement and carcass
The biomasses of all the beasts
Of the air land and sea
Feed the horrors unleashed
In the abyssal deep
They survive without light
The leviathans arise
Descent of eighteen hands
And nothing planned
Under thin azure skin
Before the time of scale or fin
At the precipice
Of abiogenesis we stand
Eldritch origins on this
Slowly dying, sinking dome
Saline magma plumes
Course fire into our ocean home
Three hundred fathoms
From our lives:
An answer to life
Not Lovecraftian horrors,
Or creatures of the constant night;
Confirmation of our former selves
Below the continental shelf
Simple proteins in turmoil
Under pressure:
Steamed and boiled
The evidence is embryonic
From ancestors prokaryotic
Find courage
To cross the bridge
And accept your carnal lineage
Then the leviathans can arise
We can't fathom
What is down here
On our pale blue dot

Hounds unleashed
And storm drains flood
The streets are cleaned
By the rivers of blood
Streams of smoke
Trail to the sky
Tonight this city
Turned to fire
Mer / cur / i / al
Don't try hard, it's never time
Find yourself an accepting paradigm
It's too bright, your inner light,
To warn you now of what is wrong or right
No charge and don't wait to be
To turn your back on your humanity
The jersey men
Have played so hard
No hope left if we-are
Without our star
We have taken the toll;
They’ve come this far
Take up your swords
It’s time for war
Mer / cur / i / al
Don't try hard, it's never time
Find yourself an accepting paradigm
It's too bright, your inner light,
To warn you of what's wrong or right
No charge and never wait to be
To turn your back on your humanity
No more
No glory
No more
No glory
