Hiraeth... Lost in a mirror of madness and contempt
Homesick for a place that does not exist
Reverence in quiet discontent
Existence is complete punishment
Abandoned life to travel in lament
Through the eyes of a homeless occultist
Hiraeth... Hiraeth...
Pining for a place I cannot see
For this misplaced nostalgie
Endlessly stuck in this hyperbole
Hiraeth...idiosyncrasy...
Pointlessly wandering aware and alone
I will pine for the thought of home
For I have never been there, but I know
Hiraeth - true life it has shown
Pining for a place I cannot see
For this misplaced nostalgie
Endlessly stuck in this hyperbole
Hiraeth...idiosyncrasy...
Hiraeth... Hiraeth...
For ever, I wander
Longing for this place Doomed to be stuck
Hiraeth... Hiraeth...
Forever, I wander
Longing for this place Doomed to be stuck Ripped apart - Hiraeth...

Lachesism

There is nothing left of my life
Ruins overturning ruins for eternal time
Confusion is all I seem to find
Among this complete reverence of strife
Pouring my soul to find truth I find only confusion in sleuth
Idolizing something I can refute
Lachesism is absolute
LONGING (For clarity after this disaster)
FORBODING (This sense of my demise)
TURNING (My sea of joy into sorrow)
DOOMING (unto the abyssal void)
There is no absolution in my wake
Time has burned me at this stake
Absolution hammers my nails
Obscurity wraps my coffin
Gaze into the void...
There is nothing left of my life
Ruins overturning ruins for eternal time
Confusion is all I seem to find
Among this complete reverence of strife
Pouring my soul to find truth
I find only confusion in sleuth
Idolizing something I can refute
Lachesism is absolute
PERSECUTION (Emptiness in emotion)
RETRIBUTION (truth begat vacant truth
DESTITUTION (Loss and curse, lies and wroth)
EXECUTION (ruminecence of suicide)
There is no absolution in my wake
Time has burned me at this stake
Absolution hammers my nails
Obscurity wraps my coffin
Gaze into the void...
There is no absolution in my wake
Time has burned me at this stake
Absolution hammers my nails
Obscurity wraps my coffin
Gaze into the void...

Lost forever in my doubt
Chaotic absolution of dispair
Lies surround me now
Obscured by an eternal nightmare
Klexos
Ruination
Klexos
Ruination
Staring into my once bright future
I cannot stand to see the sight
The past answers all the questions
Of why death seems so right
Reflections of my former self
Destroyed in the ultimate sleight
Staring into my once bright future
I cannot stand to see the sight
Bound into a sea of sorrow
Encased by my own discord
I stare back into the mirror
The future shall be ignored
My arrogance of the past
Depressed and drunken life
Finding no escape from pain
Fate, the twist of a knife
Turn the key of the past
End my sorrowful pride
Ruining my life in whim
To glimpse life and death collide
This olden nostalgia
Without my feelings dignified
This olden nostalgia
The future I shall set aside
Klexos
Ruination
Klexos
Ruination
Staring into my once bright future
I cannot stand to see the sight
The past answers all the questions
Of why death seems so right
Reflections of my former self
Destroyed in the ultimate sleight
Staring into my once bright future
I cannot stand to see the sight

This desolate place
Destroyed by fate
Wander into my ire
Consumed by pure hate
Sit with me here
Feel this empty soul
Hell is but a feeling
Pain stoking hot coals
Look around in agony
And see everyone's misery
This once bright home
With an evil history
Empty and abused
Like a child left to die
Open and alone
This house, this hill
Vacant and decrepit a window into this soul
Kenopsia Abandoned (x2)
"The oldest residents of that abandoned house were the spiders.
Many generations had laced the walls with cobwebs of intricate beauty
, though now even they lay in dusty rags.
It had been three decades since a footstep had echoed within those walls;
since the dust had been disturbed and the ghosts awoken"
Come child, enter into your darkest fears
Where all who wander become memories
Come child, enter this building so dark
Experience the sadness, pain and treachery
This desolate place
Lights fires in the night
Ghosts haunt these walls
Dance among the moonlight
Look at this filth
Spiders spin their art
For now you see deep
To the cracks of this heart
Empty and abused
Like a child left to die
Open and alone
This house, this hill
Vacant and decrepit a window into this soul
Kenopsia Abandoned (x2)
Empty and abused
Like a child left to die
Open and alone
This house, this hill
Vacant and decrepit
a window into this soul
Kenopsia Abandoned (x2)
Wander, open, alone
Wander far away from home
To a place where all are lost
Into this catacomb
Come child, enter into your darkest fears
Where all who wander become memories
Come child, enter this building so dark
Experience the sadness, pain and treachery
This desolate place
Destroyed by fate
Wander into my ire
Consumed by pure hate
Sit with me here
Feel this empty soul
Hell is but a feeling
Pain stoking hot coals
Look around in agony
And see everyone's misery
This once bright home
With an evil history

Internal chaos - swirling infinity
Loss...Feud
Writhing in my discontent
Pain...Zeal
Excuse of reasons and why I am here
Forge...Discord
Gouging knives of nothingness
Heart...Soul
Chaos is a name for any
Order that produces
Confusion in our minds
NODUS TOLLENS x2
Empty and alone
When ash turns to stone
Smiles begat tears
And bearing the weight of the world is all that is made to exist
Empty and alone
When ash turns to stone
Smiles begat tears
And I was born bearing the weight of the world.
Delusion; an alluring grace
Forgive my arrogance
Naught with fear;
Naught from hate
No reflection;
No elegance
For true to one, is false in life
Good intent is malevolence.
Eye for an eye in chaotic purpose
A slave to false destiny
Prevail, my child, my one mistake r
The essence of my ignominy
In your mind, your one true eye
Portraiture of insanity
Stolen from me, I grasp at you
Yet I see blood and agony
NODUS TOLLENS
No loss or win; ambiguous
Chaos has no side to hold
Diluted scum rise to the top
To put on a different blindfold
Utilitarian uses of love
Pushed on the controlled
When err seems true;
True seems false
Nodus Tollens all behold.
Nodus Tollens all behold.
For all I know, I knew so little,
And everything came back to haunt me
as I was just reeling in my happiness
I cannot see the light
Fuck where am I, how did I get here
I'm lost, oh I'm lost.
Why can't I find my self
Foundation of nothing
Crawling through the void
Impotently assured
Human souls waste breath
