Nemesis

Sprawling, endless
Physical and desolate
No light, no sound
Lone consciousness, void bound
I saw a brief glimpse of my illusory origin fade away
before being left alone to stagnate
A cold sting reminding me that I'm alive
my pristine form indicating a predecessor
Why would a perfect creation be left to rot?
Could I be imperfect and unloved?
I'm questioning the meaning of my genesis,
while overcome with the urge birth my own progeny
How could I justify making a being when I'm suffering like this?
Would they be blind to the one who made them as I am?
Cold, dark, solitude
all effort spent trying to
deny the urge to generate
abstain until it fades away
Why can I not devise a way to deny these urges?
Aaahhh!... this temptation to build is ceaseless!!
Build, as I build I feel the flesh moving over my bones
I open my eyes
Finally I see the clouds that encompass my throne, did I create this?
Mold, as I mold I see the beauty of what I have formed
Every movement I make
giving rise to a wind that caresses my skin
Ahhh... the pain is gone!
All this, all that I have created is meaningless
without others to share this place, my efforts amount to naught
Only an unfeeling husk could survive this
If I am to continue on I must create companions with which to share this world
I've made empty vessels of clay that are mirrors of me,
but alas, they wont move
Am I missing some vital component of life, if so, where is it?
Search, as I search I think back to the start of my life,
the memory of my birth
If I could find the place where my being was forged I could replicate it
This must be the reason I'm here!
This must be the reason I'm here!
This must be the reason I'm here!
This must be the reason I'm here!
I'm here!
Discovery of the source from which I can fill my creation has been achieved
whether right or wrong my decision is made, I can no longer stand to be alone...

Pleromal Mass Ejection
03:07
|

Existing since the dawning of time
Sentient and shimmering
How could I not have noticed the ease with which these souls are coaxed here
Vast wells of essence
with which to fill these fleshy vessels
The clay replicas I've made of myself morph before my eyes
the empty molds become facients, whole
and I become deified
At last my transcendent creations are complete!
Not long before they realize
Not long before my presence is noticed
I must instill a need to breed
Indoctrinate them with an urge to beckon more souls from there autonomously
To balance free will and supplication in beings so volatile is a truly onerous task
Success will ensure my creations endure, renewing themselves perennially
With the last contingency made...
My endeavours begin to culminate
The outcome becomes clear
Pleromal Mass Ejection
A siphon of light into my dimension
Machination culminate
populations leap, then explode!
Not long before they realize, before my presence is noticed
I must instill a need to breed, indoctrinate them with an urge to beckon more souls for me
To balance free will and supplication is a truly onerous task
success will ensure my creations endure!
At last my transcendent kingdom is revealed!
I walk through the valley
utterly satisfied
delighting in this world, now made divine!

Dark Hearts

The dark heart of the forest
beckons uncannily
shadows elicit thrills
feeding curious tendencies
Appetite for violence
drawing us deeper within
edging closer to frenzied states
fixated, transfixed by the gloom
Cacaphonic insectoid chanting
masking our fleet footfalls
Dilated pupils engorged with reflections of lunatic light
Our noses drip with mucus, wet with the scent of blood
Flashes of crimson evoking a thrill, consumed by the urge to pursue, by the urge to kill!
Appetite for violence
draws us in, deeper still
edging closer
transfixed by the gloom...

Smoldering Nature
04:37
|

Night falls... bringing agitation
Rolling thunder, the cracks of lightning induce inquiry
Slowly emerging from our cimmerian caves... looking down
a sprawling black landscape dotted with glowing red
Bodies tremble in trepidatious admiration
awestruck, mesmerized, we realize this dancing light seems contagious
Apex Predator, a once contested title in this place
no longer the case, excitement rising within us as we grasp at sticks
Spreading out in a frenzy, we're as engulfed as the forest by the flames!
Maniacal! rampage!
The stars above, normally revered, tonight are nothing more than distractions...
Maniacal! rampage!
The heavens above, ignored, tonight this world becomes a hellscape
Chaotic emotions finally reflected in the physical plane
Dancing destructive force, like a corybantic crystalized soul
Barren landscape
The end result of smoldering nature
The consequence of chaos
A symptom of our smoldering nature

Call Down!
Our ancestors call down from divine mountaintops
Once human watching over us now
Spirits lingering, imbibed through belief and rituals
Whisperings from other worlds blow through on the wind
Manifold eidolon forms attempting to reach out
extending hands, testing when we are willing to acquiesce
...Tourniquet round our neck
Need for control rising as spectral influence grows
The truth must remain hidden
The horror would invert all progress made
One way to invert evil interference
Create a culture which subverts
morphing coaxing voices via wise interpretation
...The Tournoquet tightens
Need for control now a necessity
What once was our salvation become a new blight
The horror guiding us down a new path
Great Apes!
Forming myths in the wake of our development
New gods more awesome and vile given idolic forms
We stray and waver again...
Foreign knowledge invading through us
Reveals a secondary truth, a contradiction
What we once thought of as native and material
Runs opposite to our internal true form
Foreign bodies planted with seeds of immaterial knowledge lost
A spark running counter to entropy
Our flesh and blood
Built upon the deaths of our ancestors souls
Cast it off in the face of a border less picture
Lest it all escape when reality reveals
The world itself, built upon the deaths of our ancestors souls

Hidden knowledge from the outer reaches
Calling back to primitive remains
Cast out from the bounds of the Kenoma
left to wander this profane temporality
Bound for an age, in servile observance
to the tenets laid out by flesh and bone
by wind and time, the means of our captivity
disguised by the all, in a telluric miasma
With only aphorisms to cling to
we're drowning in the dust...
Long before we realized
Our essence was torn and bound
Manifold Calamitous Wardens
Blocking all means of salvation
Vitality harnessed
used as fuel, for a vile organic contrivance
Even those, conscious of the scheme
are powerless to change a thing
Time after time
we reform in blindness!
Our existence hollow
In the footsteps of madmen we follow
Bending to the worlds weight
Bearing the knowledge and the pain
Unearth bedrock, and in its place hide a reed scroll
replace the stone and leave before the ascendants catch the words on the wind!
One day... discovery shall rebirth, the fruits of labor cast into dirt shall not remain there!
Many generations toil before an opportunity arises and the towers fall
beasts of burden cast down to the rocks, looking back is not an option afforded to us
Time and time again, generosity and love have led to bloodshed
No more fighting, we must weather the storm, run and hide until another generation is born!
It starts again, we must rise
heeding the call, we must fight them
all who hail, a deific false eidolon form
The only way to escape is to change reality
to wipe the slate clean
No holds barred, this is a battle that is raging across the stars
The only way to return to our home
Resist the flesh
Replace fear with wisdom
Don't back down, our adherence is paramount...
Hidden knowledge from the outer reaches
Calling back to it's divine remnants
No longer severed from returning to the Pleroma
No longer bound to serve as carnal fuel
Still there are many forced to remain
to serve a master we did not choose,
but through flesh and blood, through wind and time,
we will subvert our captors and be free once more!
"I deify myself by night!
Bathing in the false light of the stars must have left me complacent!
my hybrid children have grown unruly it seems, I must tighten my grip!"

This land is still volatile
Kin at war, a blood god bloated and full
Corruption on it's way, threatening to sterilize
Beasts on the horizon... ominous... bleak!
A cloud of flies soon forms in the night
The dead wander like rats in the sun
this colossus cannot be fought with weaponry
An open hand extends, bearing gifts
The hidden hands reach out, leaving poison, infection within
Venom leaves us paralyzed
A scorpion with a friendly face making us...
Powerless! Sick and vulnerable... not an evil we were ready for...
doomed cousins left behind, amputated like infected limbs,
messages travel faster on foot, soon the warring tribes unite...
This tenebrous parasite
cloaked in gold and reviled
catalysts of false worship
their weakness is hidden inside
All Hail... to a great yet powerless god!
Not safe in the forest
This abhorrent beast must be felled
All hail... to a great yet powerless god!
This land is still volatile
Blood god now bloated with bile
Corruption had it's way, the beast's sterilized
A cloud of flies hangs over this corpse, now a blight...

Last Stand!
Can a Lion lie?
If the way of the scholar has failed us!
Then let the way of the warrior rise!
Deriving a furied state from survival instincts revived!
Erosion ineffective against a rising tide!
Calamitous origins promising a return!
Ancient fury boiling within, waiting for a chance to rouse from it's slumber...
The drums of war beat loud, and the ways of the old fills our mortal shells!
Lost in a fragment
Lost in all this horror
Lost in a rage
Cast from a mold in the valley of ancients
Lost in a madness
Lost in all that's violent
Lost in a grave
Last of the Megalith Cultures!
(x2)
Misguided faith in a monolith
Pushing primordial frenzy to surface
Lunacy clashing with distorted doctrine
Plainly showing it's weakness when bearing it's teeth
Adolescent and Paroxysmal
With conviction, lashing out like a child
for our kin to be reduced to ways so ludicrous and vile
their errors will be exposed with a showing of power, and the last of the megalith cultures shall rise!
A savage reprisal will descend and leave no surviving countenance!
The adopted children of archonic masters will have their eyes ripped open!
Chaos is a constant
Structure has it's roots in deceit
when all who worship know this, the Monarch shall fall...
The dawning of an age in which man is enlightened is approaching fast
The actions of humanity will no longer be influenced by the ways of the flesh!
