Absent Ichor

Witness transcendence of a corpse drowning in fear
Entrenched malice shall form a code, forthright adhered
Mass guilted gifts, never retrieved
Femurs stockpile from the naïve
Absent ichor
Absent ichor
Gaunt wounds mistaken for caresses amidst stum
We retch in pleas for peace that never will become
For there is no amount of pain that is enough
Arms torn to landfill; another number snuffed
Absent ichor
Absent ichor
Drifting through a hall of knives
Lacerational reprise
Our sun sets red every night
Stained and scarred by poisoned light
Conflating pleasure with disgrace
I cannot recognise my face
Routine coalesces with death
As I realise nothing’s left
I inhale ash from silent years
Contracting pipes bring death so near
Yearning, I crawl back to the dark
Re-enthroned as disgraced void monarch
Herald a life defined by scum
Culling realities in flux
An anguish born through lucid terror
To scar the canvas of the eye
A vacant wheeze for freedom’s grasp
Fills the void with new despair
In a world of wilting meaning
Eternal strife shall reign supreme
Once dredged in anger,
With will lost to scream
I adjourn in pining
To dance in motherly streams

Devolved

Death; a mere output from the incessant swathe
Piles of bleeding flagellants adjoin with hate
Dogmas of the blade, ritually observed
Worn asphalt marked with voices of the unheard
Devolved
Molting in schemes created by impious minds
Reborn through venomous, unseen binds
Frailty unleashed upon those who may oppress
What is there to trust when you can have all the rest?
Devolved
We are emptiness enshrined
Failed by false peers, we join the blind
Manifest depleting worth;
Vast blood offerings to the earth
Life has meant less with every passing year
The lure of bloodshed now overwhelms my fear
And so here I stand, your final arbiter of pain
An end feels close now, a release from the mundane
Wretched, they live, so they bleed
In rhythmic thrall they cede
Watch as they cry out in need
Devolved
Wretched, they live, so they bleed
In rhythmic thrall they cede
Watch as they cry out in need
Devolved
We are emptiness enshrined
Failed by false peers, we join the blind
Manifest depleting worth;
Vast blood offerings to the earth
Amongst oblivion, we live to sedate
Through husks transitioned, we’ve opened new gates
Now take a final look at what awaits us all
Wrought blades fade to black as we await our final call
Torn, I transcend in ecstatic rancour
Disbanding into forms unknown
Sacrificed to equilibria’s abrasive harmony
Returning ash resolves

Renounce The Flesh
03:49

|

Our zenith’s covenant, guarded by guilt
Numbed corpses circling altars of wilt
I sit under thrones of repugnant ‘embrace’
Trampled and dismayed by those fallen from grace
Boiled in immersion’s hysteria
Massed, maligned arms revere decay
Fathered despair ordains new blood
Chaff marked for slaughter, ideals in mud
Encroaching rats suffocate newfound prey
Tranquilised in vitriol; all that’s left is to pay
Renounce the flesh
Renounce the flesh
Sealed in burdenous horror
Our weapons incise through trauma’s blur
Candles wane from weights of anguish
Forever doomed to now recur
Embrace the ultimate neglect
Renounce the flesh
Embrace the ultimate neglect
Renounce the flesh
