Traitors flood my sight As the black, starless sky shows its veins Illuminating the horror to be, The wait is driving me insane I'll break their lines If it means my meaningless life This nightmare will be The last thing they see A steel cacophony sung by swords Will break the weakened foe Doomed will be those who run Their armor reeks of fear Don't look back Your face will go black It's your last breath I'll break their skulls If it means my pathetic life This nightmare will be The last thing they see Decimate the traitors My brothers Run them back to their graves

Slowly we march with amnesty With a purpose not so easy to see No way to live, our brothers die Sun above, its fury scalds The roots of life turn to ash Beguiled, they hear the siren's cry Arid waste claims the weak The desert so bleak The carrion crows feast Thirst will claw and tear at the throat Moon brings illusion of coveted hope But not for long The winds arise

Twisted and jagged, rusted and mangled weapons Battered and tortured piles of armour Heinous and evil, horrid and cruel grimoires Forbidden tomes are resting beneath Over the eons, the winds have hidden heirlooms Concealed by sands, buried below Relics of power, engines of warfare, obscene Statements of domain and dominance Steel rots away Memories in dismay The sands take it all Accursed artifacts of horror Silence where echoes of war once rang Untold acts both twisted and cruel remain in obscurity Vile machines brought gods to their knees But now once and forever remain underneath

A self-fulfilling prophecy bled upon the sands Foretold by a presumption grounded in deceit Modified behaviors are but the catalyst Causing constant feedback most arduous to withstand When cries that kill the savages are met with no remorse But the grandest fools can expect civil discourse So ogres come to battle the fiends that shout them down This violent loop is an awful lot of fun Cause and effect are coupled, With knowledge preordained, defectively The prophet cites circumstance to subdue his crimes The backlash, with every corpse that rots Drives his rancor home Knowledge preordained defectively

…And it snaps The noose around my neck, Twined of realization and ruin Reverts my mind to reality, This mundane existence Thrust upon a bleak gray mean, Never to transgress again! I have stolen breath Suffered through pyres of decay Torment and grief lay within my reach Mistakenly we went as heroes Returned to utter disdain From those vital to our cause So formed a band of brothers scorned They too will grow to hate My constant need to know why Why?

An Aside 03:35

What are these creatures that crawl before me? These lifeless husks of men who could be In sight and in mind they cannot be free Together they thrive, alone they would die There they stood With all the semblance of life ...but life itself There they stood With all the parts but the spark of life itself No drive to succeed no will to exceed What is this scum that poisons my eye? Lacking the simplest will to survive Maggots that can't actualize Gaze into the facing mirrors Infinite thoughtless repetition Cyclically led to the same conclusion There is no inception point I see now these wretched things before me These empty reflections of society What little is grasped they simply repeat So ends the cycle in utter defeat

Disconnect within my head Cannot tell where I have tread Lost upon the plains of yore Memories that I abhor Shards of present cannot last Juxtaposed within the past Hallucinations of the prior Do their best to draw my ire Disconnect within my head Memories permeate dread Disconnect within my soul Abstract hole my thoughts doth go Scattered fragments of my mind No longer am I defined Adrift form I lose my way From the being I portray Never again to be whole Disconnect, it rends my soul This disconnect within has grown From your betrayal it was sown I thought we had our minds aligned Without the war I'm not defined The countless slaughters that we wrought By will of mine your stomach knots We are never to be separated You will never leave my weight behind For we are one, your fractured mind And now as burden grinds the mare Lanced we are by Hades' glare
