- ...At The Threshold
A grey twilight
Nor heaven nor hell
A labyrinth a maze
An abysmal ocean of trees
Ahead lies an uncanny trench of one's angst
Leaves dance with the wind and branches sing
songs of sunshine and songs of rain
Songs untouched by the kiss of death
...At The Threshold

- Labyrinthine
Parting from nothingness
Plunging into the absolute
Contorted and tangled and
Stunningly breathtaking at heart.
What lies ahead isn't a forest.
Before you is the beautiful epitome of perfection
Unrelentless unforgiving uncompromising nature
Branches kiss you and roots carress your feet
Sunshine radiates and sounds sweeten
Your soul

- Broken Halo
But blood slowly freezes in veins clogging up
This place is not what it seems
You see I entered expecting joy and adventure
But enthralled by the evershifting pathways
I found myself lost and bewildered
Standing before the river of a million souls
I felt their icy laughter
Sunlight dying and sounds growing dismal
I thought of joining them
But a broken halo of sun or moonlight illuminated a path
Ensnared by roots and mammoth insects
The path seemed a certain demise the end was nigh
I moved forth slowly but I felt it
A silent companion, a quiet guardian?
It closed in on me
Gasping for breath as the bleakness swallowed me
I cried at the rain pouring
"Drown me break me freeze me bury me take me"
Minutes that felt like days
My life usurped
It's always belonged
To you!

- Trench Of Angst
I am the omnipotent
I am the blaspheme
I am the shell of the tortoise
I am the destroyer of dreams
I am the ripper of skies
Freezer of seas
Serpent to mice
Burner of trees
I bore witness the demise of civilizations
The collapse of empires
Immolation of kings and heroes
Skin pealing from flesh
Flesh tearing from bone
Bones snapping like twigs
Agony is a small price to pay for your
egocentrism
Can't you see?
You're a fucking speck of dust to me
But in this trench of angst you shall suffer with me
Inhaleing the sulphur
Teething on stones
Chemically burning
Neck tightly chocked
Maggots spawn in your ears
Flies infest your nose
Roaches fuck in your mouth
Ants swarm through your eyes
Birds shit on what's left of you
