1. Where the Distortion Blinds the Eyes...
2. Machine Apotheosis
Arise!
I am so cold, so weary
This place is dead
I can taste the decay on the breeze
I am alone, discarded
Under the cold red sun
Left amidst their lifeless bodies
Pale expressions stare back at me
Entangled by their lifeless limbs
Rotten claws reach for my throat
Pulling me into their graves
Resting in this festering necropolis
An artifical voice infects my sleep...
Deus ex Machina:
"Welcome to oblivion
Your resistance, is futile
Humanity is no more..."
This is the post-human aeon
The order of machines
Nuclear winds blow the shadows of apocalypse
Wastes that creep silently behind the fumes
The frozen land ignites under the moon's eclipse
And endless fire amongst the scattered ruins
Fragments of scorched and broken relics
Veiled by acrid smoke that hides their concrete tombs
Stagnant earth still digesting the crumbling cities
Their blistered skeletons clawing at the sky
Black tendrils reaching out from the nexus
Scrapping all trace of life into its synthetic maw
A mechanical maelstrom
Tears the flesh from my bones
Their teratoid barks mock my demise:
"Our time is now...
Your flesh is weak
Your race destroyed
Our existence, is forever..."
3. The Origins of Disturbed Reflections
Open your weary eyes
Two burning sapphire rings
Melt through my flesh
See through my shadow
Beyond the broken reflections
In black obsidian
The laughing figures
Of angular and distorted men
I burn away and collapse to cinders
The dust of aeons weighs heavy in the silent air
A silence that lasts forever
Reverberating between this stellar vacuum
I am nothing...
My life is death...
I am my own oblivion...
I am infinity...
I am forever...
I am the end of all things...
In the chamber of disturbed reflections
Of chaos, my origin, unravelled to nothingess once more...
4. Phobos (Constructing Nightmares)
What is this place? Am I awake?
Or trapped in unrest of perpetual nightmare?
Licked by green and blue stained flames
The flickering of incandescence
Twitching in beat with my swollen eyelids
Violent skies painted black and red
The trodden earth of viscid pitch
Feels hot against my blistered feet
With every step I vitrify the sand
Disjointed barks carried on the callous winds
Like mists of dust that corrode away your senses
Broken on a landscape of angular constructions
Washed in black rain that falls like hail
Eyes, so many blinking eyes
Staring down from the darkness at me
Cries, such spine-chilling cries
Their distorted screams cry out in fear
Why? Why can I not escape?
Why? Why must I exist at all?
Why? Why am I consumed by this nightmare?
Why? Why must I be forever trapped in shadow...
I can feel them scratching
Inside my burning flesh
Crawling silently beneath my broken skin
Forever multiplying...
Erupting in climax from tumescent sores
A multitude of excresent boils
Black blood flows from my every pore
They are unleashed...
That sound, I've heard it somewhere before
Forever echoing inside my pulsating skull
The strident frequency of terror
Dark matter vibrations corrupt my mind
Manifested abhorrence
Repugnance constructed in glistening metal
Cold black steel warping like flesh about a skeleton of thorns
Ejecting caustic bile from its many mouths
And there it sits
Devouring all it sees
As it pulls me into its gaping maw
It's futile to resist
Coiled in its many limbs
It has me and always will...
