Imminent 04:41
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!

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 06:44
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
