Imminent

Fear is the absence of security
The potential for loss, the chance of harm
Fear is caused by an intruding evil
Fear is what is about to happen
Paranoia seeps in through every crack of unknowing
Every corner, every shadow - a threat
The fog of war clouds my sanity
But, if liften, only reveals my impending fate
Running, fleeing - never fast enough
Guard, defend - never strong enough
Always outrun, always outfought
Always outnumbered, always outthought
How does one escape a perpetually losing battle?
Losing control; was never in control
Every attempt thwarted
I know what is imminent -
It has already been decided!

Rite of Passage

My throat has little left to be cut now
But the menacing blade of failure persists
Rusted with the blood of those who could not
True to the rite of passage
Fractures in the brick wall in my path -
So close, yet stands in tact
Fractures in my skull held in my hands -
The battering ram begins to crack
The dismal mass exodus
Left beaten, broken, disintegrated
Seeks to become one with the place of liquid
So we might be molded anew
Fool me once
Fool me twice
Fool me thrice
A fool to be shamed
Hopelessness is not conveyable by words
Forcing one from knowledge to resignation
So fascinating, how loathing sustains itself:
Malignantly feeds
Perpetually breeds
Parasitically bleeds
And more, it needs
Fool me thrice
Fool me twice
Fool me once
Foolish to be ashamed?
Break the self to rebuild the self
Removal of self
Dissection of self
Examination of self
I know the answer exists,
Where is it?
Where is it?
Where is it?
WHERE IS IT?
Analyze
Comprehend
Refine
Eradicate
See...

Animus

Now you will run
Under the skies of Luna
Across the plains of Shakuras
Over the mountains of Longinus
Now you will hide
Between the crags of Byzantium
In the canyons of Python
Beyond the deserts of Collosium
I have seen you live and die a hundred times
Stronger have since stood before me and fallen,
But this I owe to you
Bask in the shadow of I,
The seeds you've sewn
Torture is an art form, adding dread to injury
Which limb to tear first? Which weapon to save for last?
Gradually, you will be executed with finesse
But for now, I will watch you bleed
There is a serenity that exists in mastery
(Power overwhelming...)
Musing over my control - my control over you
(How the tables have turned...)
You called down your thunder,
Now you will reap the whirlwind
Know absolute - your abuse has failed
You are inferior
No absolute is beyond my reach
My thanks to you, enemy.

Deep inside, beyond all conceptions
Unconsciousness hides - a comatose existence
As your mind falls asleep,
A second life is awakening
Far beyond your* imagination
The world of dreams is where your second soul will perish
Endlessly...
Lands which no one's seen before,
Dark as hell
There, alone you are
In this vault of fear
In imagination, time does not exist
'Til the end you'll bear this dormant misery
As you were opening your eyes
Your soul reinstates in consciousness
(Reinstated consciousness)
Once the shades of reality disappear
In the shades of mortality, they reappear
Far beyond dark imagination,
Unconsciousness hides - a comatose existence
Domant Misery...
Next time when you fall asleep in your bed
Stiff and cold you'll be, dreaming with the dead
