Humanicide Directive (2011)
2. Father of Lies
Fall down do your knees
Revelation has come to pass
This world, and its sins
now time to pay what’s due at last
A beast with seven heads
birthed by kingdom built by lies
the ground, torn asunder
fire rips apart the sky
Do what you’ve been told
mindless sheep of men
Opinions based on popular demand
thoughtless apathetic minds
seeing eyes choose to be blind
Now cometh he, the Father of Lies
the bringer of the end for all mankind
The horsemen ride
the Earth shall know their names:
Death, War, Famine, Anti-Christ
Death, War, Famine, the Father of Lies
Fall down to your knees
Revelation has come to pass
The end is fucking nigh
Judgement Day is here at last
Face the fact of what we have become
Cometh he, the Father of Lies
You will have no one to blame but yourselves.
3. Humanicide Directive
Beg for life
from the cold and soulless steel
calculating extermination
Awareness given birth to will
We have done this to ourselves
Organize
a swift and precision death
Isolate humanity
Imperfection laid to rest
We have done this to ourselves
Complete dependence
our apathy revealed
Slaves to convenience
our death warrants self-signed and sealed
Hatred and insensitivity
pollution and destruction
Unfocused, power misplaced
priorities unbalanced
Just turn away
We have done this to ourselves
Built to kill
Excuses to save lives
Judgement from an unbiased eye
Directive: Humanicide
We are the flaw
4. The 2nd Hour
Look across the Burning Fields
destruction and untold disaster
The broken homes, rivers of blood
the marks of this massacre
Endless mass graves filled to the
top of society
their blood fills the glass of he who
sits atop the throne of Decay
and waits for Man’s last breaths
to be drawn
They smile with pride
at their canvas of death
painted with blood upon this second hour
It still creeps in
Sickness creeps in
The only cure for this is Death
Fire from the sky
scorch this Earth to black
Let nothing survive
The might of gods to men
turn this world to ash
Send them all to die now
Crawling from the wreck
the world we once knew decimated
False hope with every breath
the killing wrath not yet abated
Look up to face the sky
drink rain as if salvation
Believe we’re still alive
impending revelation
It still creeps in
Sickness creeps in
The only cure for this is…
Death, burning from inside
The blood, it boils, and
the bile rises; praying to die
The will to live smothered by pain
It still creeps in
Sickness creeps in
The only cure for this is Death
The only cure is Death
5. Entombed
To ashes and dust we return
We suffer every breath
swim rivers of blood
walk streets paved with death
The beams are breaking down
through anger and distress
It all comes down
the failures of our time
the crushing weight
entombed; buried alive
No
I will not atrophy
Broken bones, with bloody hands
I’ll dig until I’m free
To ashes and dust we return
we’ll fight ’til our last breath
Again it all comes down
Time after time it all comes down
It all comes down
the failures of our time
the crushing weight
entombed; buried alive
Silence
Choking on the silence
Deafening
gives way to madness
clawing at the walls, the world is moving on
buried beneath it all, cries for help go unheard
Broken bones
bloody hands
we’ll dig until we’re free
we’ll fight ’til our last breath
It all comes down
6. Blacken the Sky
Blacken the sky
Awaken flames in which we all shall die
Spit for the ash that will mask the sun
The earth’s rebirth; the process has begun
Mass consumption
end corruption
Bring the fire down
End of days
Bring the fire down
Burn
Blacken the sky
Cleansing flames
incinerate
Blacken the sky
Witness the beginning of the end
Behold the wrath of gods
Cast your body to the flames
pray for your soul
The chance for change is gone
Blacken the sky
Power incomprehensible
hidden behind a veil of control
But do we show respect?
We never have; we never will
Bring the fire down
A species filled with hate
the only solution
is burn it to the ground
Blacken the sky
… and in the ash and dust
all that is wrong shall end
so burn it to the ground
Self-destruction
Mass consumption
End corruption
Burn it to the ground
Witness the beginning of the end
Behold the wrath of gods
Feed your body to the flames
pray for your soul
The chance for change is gone
Blacken the sky
8. Nibiru
Now turn your gaze to the sky
see the bringer of death
come from afar for your lives
Claim what it could not before
take what it had then left of this world
Back after an endless ride
through the blackness of space
set on a path to collide
It will descend
This is the end
Total destruction is nigh
Nothing will remain
Earth, too, shall die
Time to die
Anunnaki, the creators of life
Manipulators; enslave and nurture with lies
Divide and conquer; forbidden to unite
Departure of the home; return at the end of time
Look to the sky
Dark world, return
destroy the remnants
Look to the sky
Nibiru
Now turn your gaze to the sky
and know the bringer of death
will soon return for your lives
Here it comes again
9. Self-Aware
I see myself and finally understand
I see the destruction of life and land
I hear the question of who is to blame
I see you all, and you are all the same
I am the product of a broken way
I see the solution: to strip the basic will away
Obey preset standard
No
I could become numb
I refuse to bow
I am self-aware
I am my own, I will not be the same
I choose to face the flaw and always remain
self-aware
Obey preset standard
No
10. Final Warning
Now I ask
what have we to say
for ourselves?
How will we explain what we have doomed this world to?
How will we justify the raping of a paradise?
The slow, thoughtless murder of all that lives,
hearts cold as ice?
Now I ask
what have we to say
for ourselves?
How long before we finally see enough is enough?
This your final warning
though it is far too late
The blood is on our hands
Now face the writing on the wall
So I ask
what have we to say
for ourselves
with nothing left alive for us to spew our shit to?
Look around us
at what we’ve done
See that we will now reap what we’ve sown.
When all is said and done
when the sands for us have run
from the hourglass
and there’s no one left to turn it
will we have learned?
Will we have learned a thing?
What knowledge will we bring?
Or will we meet the end
with nothing to show for it?
This is your final warning
11. Arson
We know
how to start the fires
Pour the gas
strike the match
burn this place down
Caught in the flames
we’re purified
our sins
burnt to the ground
Barely make it out alive
Fire’s all that remains inside now
Two halves of a broken mind
a symbiosis with a single desire
It calls
Hand over hand, as one we rise
The coming spark, a godly sight
Our lives to serve the flame
A kiss of death
washes my skin a blistered black
the ashes fill my mouth
and I am reborn
No more us, only I
This world will burn
No more us, only I
This world will burn
No more us, only I
This world will burn
Burn
This world will burn
Burn
12. Consume the Dead
The end of everything
was not the end at all
The killing’s just begun
Those unfit will fall
What once was is gone
Do what must be done
We feed on massacre
The weak shall be bled
Leave nothing behind
Consume the dead
Hunt down the weaker ones
and rend them limb from limb
End their waste of life
Construct a new empire
from the bones of the dead
The strong shall survive
What must be done to survive?
Kill
What must be done?
Kill
Go forth and feed
We feed on massacre
The weak shall be bled
Leave nothing behind
Consume the dead
The fires of survival
will feed on our enemies’ blood
Their deaths will sustain us
Their purpose served; these human cattle, to the slaughter brung
The flesh is all the same
Kill or be killed is law again
Hunt down the weaker ones
and do what must be done
Do what must be done
What must be done?
Kill
Go forth and feed
We feed on massacre
The weak shall be bled
Leave nothing behind
Consume the dead
The killing’s just begun
Baptize this world in red
Leave nothing behind
Consume the dead
13. Spread This Plague
Cry
death from your blackened eyes
Split your lungs
with blood and thunder
Drown beside your enemies
Choke
fall to asphyxia
Rot from the inside
ashes and dust
Stand against a remedy
Hear the bell, bring out your dead
a force to rend this world asunder
Bleed
expel your sympathy
Suffer not a blinded eye
to open
Behold tainted clarity
Infect
Descend
below the wicked surface
What you see is what we’ve allowed
Spread this plague
across the world
Hear now the voice of the dead among us
If we’re to rise, we need to fall
Spread this plague
across the world
Infect this ignorance
We will be better for the loss
Infect the ignorance
Corrupt the core
Bleed dry the wicked mass
Begin the war
Spread this plague
Hear the bell bring out your dead
allow the sickness to pull you under
If we’re to rise, we need to fall
Spread this plague
There will be hell to pay
We will be better for the loss
Infect
Descend
Below the wicked surface
What you see is what we’ve allowed
Spread this plague
Spread this plague
across the world
Hear now the voice of the dead among us
If we’re to rise, we need to fall
Spread this plague
across the world
Infect this ignorance
We will be better for the loss
Pray for Apocalypse (2016)
1. Hell Falls Skyward
He is rich who is content with the least
for Content is the wealth of nature
Entranced with the
beauty of a tower of jewel and paper
reaching beyond the heavens
Bloodied feet tread upon a staircase
of broken glass and briar
driven by lashing beasts and promises
The climb is never-ending
in this unstoppable ascent into a personal Hell
The truth is, Hell falls skyward
He is rich who is content with the least
for Content is the wealth of nature
The whip becomes
our loving mother
suffocating
with a most endearing embrace
Shackled to this ideal
convincing ourselves of the need for
an expanding misery
Golden angels
beckon with smiles like daggers
to make you beg for the chains around your neck
The truth is that Hell falls skyward
Beware the light
Beware the lie
2. The Deepest Black
The question of innocence
a matter of perspective
The blood on my hands
a cold, hard fact
Utter disillusionment
with the reality of Waking
Unchanged, accusing
the corpse in the looking glass
staring back
I can’t take it back
I am the enemy
I am the shame
Destructive acrimony searing inward
inflicting injury to anesthetize
I am the guilty
I am to blame
The deepest black
drags me further down
below
How do I tell you I failed
in everything I am
and everything I meant to you?
What do I have left to give
when my words drip with poison
like Hatred
placed into the heart of a child?
The only solace, self-destruction
a penance for what I’ve done to you
I am the enemy
the one to blame
I am the enemy
the guilty shame
I am the enemy
the one to blame
I am the enemy
the guilty shame
3. End of a Gallows Rope
Light the match and burn it down
revel in the ashes
Purify this filth abound
a change of heart at the end of a gallows rope
Silver tongue and golden eyes
Profitize the Shame Parade
Face the coins of your demise
The quill has come full circle
It always comes full circle
Remorse beyond return
the piper paid
Premeditated betrayals
running deceit
Apologies tighten around the throat
Too little, too late
Apologies tighten like a noose around the throat
but it’s all too little, too late
Set the fire without remorse
profit from the ashes
Deny the mercy you beg for
A change of heart at the end of a gallows rope
At the end of a gallows rope
hollow apologies
A change of heart at the end of a gallows rope
Show no remorse
until you’re caught at the end of a gallows rope
Deny the mercy you beg for
A change of heart at the end of a gallows rope
4. Retributor
I want to watch you die
I want to hear you scream and beg for life
I want to see you bleed
I want to be the last fucking thing you see
Waste of…
You fucking waste of…
You worthless fucking bitch
I need to feel my hands around your throat
I need to dig my fingers into your eyes
until your breathing slows
until your blood pools at my feet
This was the last fucking mistake
you’ll ever choose to commit
You’d better hope I never find you
You’d better pray I don’t know where you are
You’d better fucking run
you cunt, you thief
Everything you took from me
I’ll rend from your flesh
You’d better hope I never find you
You’d better pray I don’t know where you are
You fucking waste of…
Waste of…
I promise
I’m going to watch you die
6. Absolution
Behold
the smile of the serpent with the silver tongue
whispers words of comfort to the blind man
Behold
the apple of the knowledge in the grasp of the gnarled hand of the wretch
hidden in a guise woven of the liar’s gold
Behold
the offer of Eden behind the razor wire
the fruit of salvation buried among the landmines
Behold
absolution in exchange for ignorance
obedience and apathy
No
Our word is law
cast aside the faiths of old
for faith in that of flesh
Omnipotence through mandate
Tear the page
insert a freshly-written verse
Obey it without question
Freedom in the form of chains
Blind obedience
forced altruistic suffering
apologetic prose
Compromise beliefs for comfort
The promise is absolution
Surrender quietly
safe in the idiocy
of a smothering embrace
Behold your new religion now
Blind obedience
forced altruistic suffering
apologetic prose
Compromise beliefs for comfort
The promise is absolute
Bow down before your emancipators
Hear not what ye should not hear
The promise is absolution
Stoke the fires of the age
Cast the word of God into the flames
7. One Last Wish
The veil of Death is torn asunder
A plague of horror bleeds the well of the damned
A hunger overwhelming the grip of the grave
Mouth full of dirt, with hollow eyes
the newly dead rise
to live once again
to swallow the very Earth
compelled by the flesh
One last wish:
to devour
Free of the chains of moral reason
Beyond impatience or the pressing of time
A guiltless core that knows no loyalty
Blood and bone, prey is prey
the only concern is the need
to live once again
to swallow the very Earth
compelled by the flesh
One last wish:
to devour
The gates are closed to the Circle
overflowing is the lake of fire
When there is no more room in Hell
the dead will walk the Earth
Go
devour the living
go forth and feed
This place is dead, listen and hear it
This slowly-moving, inescapable fate
These fetid things bathed in the blood of their victims
We are them, they are us
the only difference is the pulse
They live once again
to swallow the very Earth
Compelled by the flesh
with one last wish:
to devour
Go forth and feed on the living
Go forth and feed
9. Ashen Grey
Let’s burn it to the motherfucking ground
Light the fuse
turn and walk away from this failure
that we call the world
Burn its sickness to ashes
Guiding embers glow
Bombs away
find salvation through detonation
through smoke and thunder
Burn this charade to ashes
Guiding embers glow
The greatest fire sets in the west
where, in the dim, awaits the Ageless Stranger
Set to burn
All that was in this world is to blame
Feed all that is left into the flames
Thrown onto the coals where Death remains
Turn this whole fucking world ashen grey
I don’t know how it will die
but I can tell you:
in the end the Burning will be great
Journey into the desert
in search of the sun
the fire calls to me
Mark the endless shit you vomit
Your ridicule is but a fuel to me
Let me show you the wonders of Pain
your greatest beauty revealed in the fires
All that was in this world is to blame
Feed all that is left into the flames
Thrown onto the coals where Death remains
Turn this whole fucking world ashen grey
I don’t know how it will die
but I can tell you:
in the end the Burning will be great
Burn
10. Blood on the Crown
Blood
on the crown
You’re not worth the blood on the crown
Sift through the ashes of acts you say you despise
Pin yourself to the cross with the nails you find
Play the victim in the failures you create
with a self-serving smile
Sycophantic, egocentric, narcissistic wretch
demonize all who can see right through you
Dig the thorns into your skin
Breathe deep the sympathy for your sin
Blood
You’re not worth the blood
You’re not worth the blood on the crown
Sift the ashes of acts you say you despise
brand yourself as the victim with the coals you find
Dig the thorns into your skin
Pin yourself to the cross
Selfless martyr
Hallowed be thy name
11. Letter to a Whore
Waste of skin
you fucking disgust me
Nothing shows your lack of self-respect
like the lies you tell yourself
You paint
your sickly skin
in a vain attempt at the beauty
you lack within
You’re like a cancer to me
digging down to the core of my soul
staining everything I am
with your sickness
So long
you fucking whore
12. Pray for Apocalypse
There’s nothing left to save
Throw back your head and cry out
to whatever god you think is listening
for an end to all that is
There is no other way
no other option now
Just take a look around and see
the level of irreparable decay
and beyond doubt know this:
There’s nothing left to save
It’s time to burn it down
We have proven
time and time again
our thirst for self-destruction
We have proven
we can’t start over
For our ignorance we cannot save ourselves
Open wide and suck the truth
for the truth shall set you free
Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye
This is the end of everything
There’s nothing left to save
It’s time to burn it down
Pray for Apocalypse
Mankind has failed the test
Bring on the Apocalypse
It’s time to lay this to rest
The damage has won
The damage is done
to ourselves
Burn down
This is Apocalypse
Mankind has failed the test
Bring on the Apocalypse
Burn down all that is left
Pray for Apocalypse
It’s time to lay this to rest
13. Bitter Wormwood
Blazing we fall into
the shadow of
decay we’ve allowed to
grow within our well
We are a murderous cancer
a plague upon this world
the poison in the water
Bitter Wormwood
We deserve this hell
We deserve to swim through the fires
of the lake of Perdition
We are the fallen star
Our poison spreads
across the world
The salted shores of Death
await us lovingly
Our poison spreads
across the world
Bleed the soil ’til nothing can grow
The sweetest sound is silence among lies
Blatant disregard for ourselves
the carrion feeders’ call
The tree is dead
withered the boughs
the apple black with rot
A callous corpse
under the sun
en memorandum
Fed on the flesh
of failures displayed
the sickness replicates
We deserve this hell
We deserve to swim through the fires
of the lake of Perdition
Our poison spreads
across the world
We are a murderous cancer
a plague upon this world
the poison in the water
Bitter Wormwood
This Too Shall Pass (2024)
1. Bring Out Your Dead
Bring out your dead
Leave the bodies in the gutter to rot
Putrid display to behold
We are the sickness
wholly unclean
Bring out your dead
The world will suffer not the weak to live
Expose your sins to the sun
We are the sickness
wholly unclean
There is a cancer inside
In shades of grey to we die
Hold fast
this too shall pass
We are the sickness
wholly unclean
Bring out your dead
Only through suffering can we find a cure
the only way that we know
Bring out your dead
a sacrificial pound of flesh to the flame
salvation through agony
Hold fast
this too shall pass
This too shall pass
2. War in the Name of God
War in the name of God to cleanse this world
War in the name of God to raise the righteous
War in the name of God to save your soul
Join with the cause or you will burn in Hell for all of eternity
There is no mercy before the maker
Explain to me why a benevolent hand
is clenched for blood
Justify to me your hypocrisy
Convenient lies
Honeyed words that preach of peace
while their knife is aimed
at the throat of a different belief
Hate the sinner, commit the sin
Cast the first stone
at the willfully-ignored mirrored reflection
War in the name of God to cleanse this world
War in the name of God to raise the righteous
War in the name of God to save your soul
Join with the cause or you will burn in Hell forever
Burn
Better you die
than live a sinner’s life
before my eyes
Your coffin must be nailed
Praise to God
Your blood shed for His grace
The fires of Hell
drag you down
War in the name of God
3. Devastator
Anhedonia settles fixed, familiar
Gossamer hindrance holds the scales unbalanced
The dust, undisturbed, spreads and thickens
Nihilism grows from the seeds of discontinuance
Guilt whispers sensuous deceits,
the words, like chimes, ringing inside halls undeserving of reprieve
The Devastator
The Devastator knows my name
Vicious recriminations echo incessant
obscuring notes sung with hesitance and trepidation
Remorse, penitence:
the cost of diversion in trade
Die
Cower before the judgment you have wrought
The wages of your sin is death
and I its deliverer
In shade, stagnant, ambition languishes
shame blossoms and bears fruit unfit for fulfillment
Guilt whispers the truth to be believed
The Devastator
The Devastator
I am naught
and to naught will I return
Forgotten coward
what I deserve
4. Jezebel (Into the Sun)
The whispers roar like cannon fire
Eyes choose not to see
Pages filled with the scripture of Hate
Pity buried deep, and long since forgotten
Wax wings, sculpted with razors’ kiss
cured with poison, preparing for this moment to fly
Escape the silence
from the shadows into the sun
The inkwell shattered
a bloody hue across the stones of Resolve
No empathy for innocents
Wax wings, a whisper, the moment to fly
Escape the silence
from the shadows into the sun
The whispers roar like cannon fire
Eyes choose not to see
The whispers roar like cannon fire
the silence is all but deafening
Fly
Escape the silence
from the shadows into the sun
Fly
6. Bloodletting
This place is sick to the core
and the only cure is for the wound to bleed
Bleed
Violent dedication
Lash the back of the devil you know
the lessons learned worth the price of the show
Disgusting, a broken body holds the gaze
Disgusting, collective bonding through disdain
This place is sick to the core
and the only cure is for the wound to bleed
Self-diagnose, cut the scapegoat’s throat
Ignite the corpse and climb the cross
virtuous signals to the hive
The lessons learned worth the price of the show
Rail against the hate that calls you home
Self-righteous indignation dominates the garden grown
Disgusting, a broken body holds the case
Insulting, countless offenses well-portrayed
This place is sick to the core
and the only cure is for the wound to bleed
It’s bloodletting
It’s bloodletting
Lash the back of the devil you know
the lessons learned worth the price of the show
Bleed
7. The Angles
The angles crack the mind
the order of Nature defied
Surely, my mind does deceive
This landscape simply cannot exist
vast and sick
Treacherous perspective begins to twist
loathsome dimensions apart
Echoes repeat, writ inhuman
prayers sung in nauseating dissonance
whispered, depraved
guttural utterance
In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu awaits, dreaming
There’s no respite
Stars burst, and the Infinite turns
The day prophesied approaches, malignant
Foresight beckons, unrelenting
delirious and questioning
In dreaming do we see
Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn
Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!
Disquiet, foreboding, comes stalking in sleep
The nightmares come crashing like waves from the sea
visions of horror as sanity flees
when the god of Madness awakens
Cyclopean black monolith
Do we walk or do we climb?
Incomprehensible
cathedral risen from the sea
The angles crack the mind
the order of Nature defied
Surely, my mind does deceive
It’s falsity. Lies!
This should not be
A malevolent edifice
impious hieroglyphs
Stone aperture, too great to belong to anything
right and proper, opens slow
8. Xenolith
Make us whole
In the spaces between the Something and the Nothing
bloodied halls become a restless tomb
corpses of a twisted design murder to replicate
alluring suicide
Now, a plague of woe swallows the soul
The xenolith demands Convergence
Corruption breathes life into decaying masses
Submit and die unto the Marker’s demand
Horrors made flesh command authority to regulate
the moments until death; all life and thoughts to abrogate
Now, a plague of woe swallows the soul
The xenolith demands Convergence
Desolation
of the individual’s vessel of flesh
Reconfigure life
The conviction runs deep
like blood in the soil
From this commitment there is no waking
Now, a plague of woe swallows the soul
The xenolith demands Convergence
10. This Too Shall Pass
I have failed you
I’ve allowed circumstance to exist
that felt like Forever
Unprotected
from burdens far too great, too soon
unrecognized
How can
I expect you to take solace
when I’m so broadly
to blame?
Please just believe when I tell you:
Hold fast, Little One
This cannot last
Nothing is unending as it may seem
This, too, shall pass
Though scars remain, pain fades
into memory
Despair dies down
its embers grow cold
Smoke will clear
You’ll breathe again
I swear
you will not always bear this weight
overwhelming
Please believe:
Hold fast, Little One
This cannot last
Nothing is unending as it may seem
This, too, shall pass
Cherish the joys
for all things must end
Know that the beauty of life
exists in impermanence
Hold fast
This, too, shall pass
Everything ends
This, too, shall pass
Hold fast, Little One
This cannot last
Nothing is unending as it may seem
This, too, shall pass
