Shogun of Sorrow
01:19
|
|||
|
Virtue lost
Filled with hatred
Content to watch them suffer
Uncaring as they die
Shogun of sorrow
His journey never ends
Fighting once for justice…
Realize it’s all in vain
Blinded by his purpose
His blade cuts, shining bright
Piercing through the surface of
mankind’s grasp, upon its life
Carved up

Burnt by the Truth
01:44
|
|||
|
No new heaven
And without hell
Abyss within ourselves
(Yesterday’s question)
Reflections of the world
(Tomorrow’s certainty)
Doomed to servitude
Automatism of being
Destined to repeat
The cycle of tragedy
Burnt by the truth
Foolish perception
Engulfing past
Chose ignorance
Ancient knowledge
Future must forget
The widening eye
Soul consumed
By the flames
Dawn of truth…
Once innocent, no more

Impure Vessel
00:52
|
|||
|
Chaos
Left in hindsight
The hero climbs
From the depths
Depraved of light, his inner hell
Those he once did seek to save
Now it’s clear:
They must be destroyed
What was written…
Now erased forever
The pillars of peace
Smashed, crushed to rubble
Seeing what the future brings us
Realize that we’re better off dead
Impure vessel, dregs of the earth
Extinguished flame of the civilized world

The knife parts through flesh
dear to the hand that holds
Finished now
The master work
Art of pain
Stabbed
Certain
Cut towards
Enlightenment
Cessation of beating heart
The dregs of thought now
Grow still and quiet
A peace in death found,
absent from life
And the want just to be
returned from whence one came
Nothingness awaits the
Soul rid now of pain
Open veins…
Visceral…
The artist’s final
Tapestry
Was even it worth it?
Some questions remain
better unsolved

This frail and mottled soil
Writhes beneath our feet
Faded
Once lush
World of
Emptiness
Wounded landscape
Praying just to burn
When the final rain has fallen
And our greed has reached the end
The forests lay in ashes
Too late now for amends
Contained by the bars of the cells
that we made for us
Enslaving our planet
and all that it gave to us
Telling each other by playing god
this is right
Burning the masses of bibles
you inked in blood
You’re draining the world of its light
and all good in it
No remains of true nature
or those that created it
Earth cannot persist

Alteregomaniac
00:52
|
|||
|
Changing through faces
Like snakes shedding skin
Subversion, deceitful eye
Shifting forms, become the lie
Altered, born again
The urge, becomes, unbearable
The man that walks,
No shadow bound
Leave the smile
Keep the fucking frown
Marauding
In second skin
Watch the eyes
They don’t quite fit

Humanity in Autumn
01:54
|
|||
|
Impossible form of prospective realms
Spiraling, maze of death
Bodies that converge in unison
The quivering visage of god
Lands once golden,
Now dead and broken
Microscopic
Infinitesimal..
Worlds
Life’s cycles revolve
And centuries pass
As autumn’s final leaves
Shall we fall at last
The vision that wanes,
Of what lies ahead
Gaze upon truth
And worlds turned to ash
Humanity, Lives of pain…
Plunging down
Like drops of
Rain

Her Knowing Collapse
02:14
|
|||
|
She, Unterred
Believing, grieving,
Grim in reasoning
Carried from the earth
Sent above to save them
Knowing that she could
But seeing what they do with life
She cares more than she should
Blessed light of mercy
An error understood,
Now finally…
Found the source
You are the waste
Of mankind
Rotting inside…
Weeping, still she…
She turns her back on us
Her knowing collapse…
She fades away
Believing…
Still grieving…
Still bleeding…
She fades away…

Broke upon the rack
Tortured body writhing
Corporeal form now gone
Transduced into the ether
A rot within the soul
With nothing left to save
All will be revealed
In his final moment of life
Spectrum, visions that blind
Seeping from the dark
Culled, Sliced
Dead Inside
The one true god
Contained with the mind
Stripped From this
realm called life
Reality’s husk
Decaying stars that wane
flesh peels away,
To reveal the galaxy
AHHH!
Useless, mortal world!!
Shall collapse,
from within
Perception,
this awful light
Formulas boil
Beneath physical planes
Manifest the cosmic
Spirit, born in pain
Broke upon the torture rack,
Ascended body bleeds
Form now black
Enlightened inner being

We Are the Worst
02:34
|
|||
|
Plebeian weeds
Spreading thin
Paroxysm
Of weeping
Gnarled and twisted
Branches reach to heavens
Beautiful organs
Crushed by the machine
Those that once knew peace
Swallowed now by bloody sea
Insurmountable
Filling our lungs with gore
Outwardly expelling the sickness
Internalized, sustaining the source
Vomiting, this visage of earth
Immolate our only world
We are the worst
Consciousness, our greatest flaw
Destined for destruction
We’re the worst, a gaping maw
Bred hungry to consume
The journey to the end of humanity’s path
Only one step further to the edge
Taking the time to consider what we’ve done
Looking backwards, where we’re from…
We are the worst
There’s the greed that’s been killing us
We are the worst
There’s the sycophant scum
We are the worst
One more step, now we fall as one
We are the worst
No way out, only down
We are the worst….

Love is Atrophy
02:15
|
|||
|
Life is a game
True love is atrophy
Seething, our veins race
Decaying in entropy
Swing o’er the waiting void,
a yearning black abyss
The body lays so still,
Knowing what awaits
True love is atrophy,
As will fade, a beautiful flower
Though you can preserve the flesh
The soul shall be devoured
Molded in imperfect forms of god
so blindly
Infarction of the bleeding heart
Pounding death, the earth’s collapse
No shortage of corrupt ideals
Collective conscious …. heart attack
Withering, the pulse of life

Skies glowing red
Peaceful and sanguine
Remains of all human-kind
Left in wake of ruin
Discarded in the dirt
Worms devour your face
The saviour is no more
Nothing to fight for…
Aloof and inert
All that has transpired
Seen by cosmic eyes
Clouded with a shroud
Of pure dismay
Unleash their wrath upon this realm
Descending to the depths
Of morbid visions,
Primal instinct
Dead eternally
But dreaming
As your innards
Fill with mold
Dead and cold
Dimming, your pulse wanes
a slow death
As life fades
Synapses collapse
The world breathes its
last breath
The clot now thickens
Twitching in thrombosis
Infinite
the universe
Contained in the
mindscape
Searching for answers
But emptiness
Is what awaits

Neverlasting Life

Neverlasting Life
…In a state of being
Stasis, frozen in time
A sickening thrum
Dimensions that die…
The Without reflects, inside
Astral planes
Now enfolding
Seek the path
The cosmic key
Return To The end
Begin To die again
Cold dimensions
Melt through time
So far away
Yet to begin This universe
A formless void
Seek the light
In eternal night
No air to breathe and
No greater being
Neverlasting life
Portals to the Nth unfold
Revert to unborn
Back into the waiting void (ugh)
Constant throughout
The suffering mind
Destined for pain,
It’s better this way

Endbryo
02:23
|
|||
|
Cellular disturbance
Lapse in the matrix
Molecular disfigurement
Seeping protoplasm
In the finite chasm
Bleed the fetid wound
Blind incision
From within them
miscreation
Of the flesh
Absurd existence
Scars that seem never to form
Creation grotesque
Fetus crawling forth from frigid womb
Spawn the antithesis of life
Gestation
Absorb all organic creation
Endlessly
Drinking amniotic fluids
Growing, the lifeless child
All we are, ripped to shreds
The embryo leeches on our lives
Forsaken with nothing left
Grasping for a reason to survive
Endbryo
Born from the pits of the earth
Necrotizing
Soulless eyes open
Ending the epoch of man
As she draws first breath….
Arise

Infinite Mortality

Relentless, grinding, off-kilter, dissonant doom-death assault that is by turns fascinating and repulsive, and in the end deeply emotionally affecting.

The Enduring Spirit
by Tomb Mold
supported by 37 fans who also own “Endbryo”
Derrick manages to bring a bit of his Dream Unending urges into Tomb Mold, and with great effect. Every track on this is a winner, but "Will of Whispers" feels the most forward-thinking, mixing melody with heaviness and a near-fusion level of musicianship. My favourite modern death metal album.

Such a unique album: brutal, atmospheric, progressive. This new genre between Artificial Brain and these guys needs a name.
