Pyroclastic Evisceration

Cataclysmic bio-geological
Activities reported
In multiple regions
Across the globe
Contact from monitoring
Stations lost
Following brief and frantic
Mayday transmissions
The earth distends, abscesses swell from beneath
The echoed sounds of fracturing rock cracking
Carrying for miles, tectonic shifts
Widespread damage to infrastructure, oceans
Heave, coastlines battered by tsunami, buildings crumble
Bridges collapse, panicked screams are widespread
Those who are not crushed to death lay trapped
There is no respite, the worst is yet to come
Subterranean abscesses rupture violently, ejected detritus of rock and rotten flesh
The stench of burning carrion and sulphur
The reek of long-dead super-organisms
Beneath the surface of our planet
Erupts from fetid wounds, part scorched, part decayed
The atmosphere is filled, thick with ash and toxic gas
First rains the blood, then impact from cadaveric meteors
Pyroclastic Evisceration
The stench of burning carrion and sulphur
The reek of long-dead super-organisms
Beneath the surface of our planet
Erupts from fetid wounds, this is death
Pyroclastic Evisceration
All life is choked out, no light can penetrate the murk
A landscape of debris, molten rock and mangled rancid meat

Of Iron, Of Stone

Of Iron, Of Stone
Above, Below
War has raged for so long
Both sides forget why they fight
Recorded time was destroyed
Perpetual midnight
Centuries, centuries have passed
Just war, all we know is death
Above, cascading ever down
Below, suppressed they cannot rise
Machines of ancient origin
Arm legions on both sides
Fight for our survival, in survival, no reward
Constant combat, living hell with no reprieve
Every effort has been made to ensure we endure
Each day praying for the sweet release of death
Elusive is the victory, the honour and the prize
Mass destruction everywhere, there's nothing left
Scattered remnants, unknown landscapes, maelstrom of destruction
Will the nightmare ever end? Will we know “what for”?
Machines of ancient origin
Arm legions on both sides
Centuries, centuries have passed
Just war, all we know is death
Above, cascading ever down
Below, suppressed they cannot rise
War has raged for so long
Both sides forget why they fight
Recorded time was destroyed
Perpetual midnight

Jaws of the Sun
03:50
|
|||
A towering humanoid figure, composed of blinding light
A searing silhouette that casts aside the dark of night
Burning retinas of those who fail to avert their gaze
From stars I manifest, my proximity ablaze
As I descend from the heavens
On my quest to purge this hell
Blasting waves of solar fury
Deafening sound of your death knell
By cleansing flame I remedy a history of sin
All will pay for your transgression
From this place, your blight, expelled
I am the jaws of the sun
My work can never be undone
I am the blazing judgement of the universe
You cannot hide, you cannot run
With no odium or benevolence
Disregard kindness or malevolence
Wraith rages raining from the skies above
Slay believers and infidel
Blasting waves of solar fury
Deafening sound of your death knell
I am the jaws of the sun
My work can never be undone
I am the blazing judgement of the universe
You cannot hide, you cannot run
I am incandescent
I am the light
I am the flame
I am infernus
I am the jaws of the sun
My work can never be undone
I am the blazing judgement of the universe
You cannot hide, you cannot run

Deletion

Digitised neural connections
Synaptic internet
Everything and everyone linked
Binary hive mind
Your inspirations stolen
No thoughts can be your own
Just ones and zeros
Individually has died
Pending deletion
The only way we can be saved
Pending deletion
The only escape
Bodies have long become withered
No use for physical form
Trapped in stasis, a prisoner
Of life support
Neurological data mine
No whims and no emotion
Just ones and zeros
Existence denied
A collective scream cries
Billions incarcerated
Realisation of purpose
Agendas not understood
The necessity of these lives
The profits that have been reaped
No benefit, stagnation
Erase humanity
Pending deletion
The only way we can be saved
Pending deletion
The only escape
Why prolong our suffering
Grant us salvation
We all strive for deletion
Why prolong our suffering
Grant us salvation
We all strive for deletion

Binding the Destroyer
04:46
|
|||
Our defense breached
Blindsided from the void
No warning given
No sirens herald the attack
Overcoming all systems
Infiltration of the network
Scrambled transmissions
In-coordination, chaos reigns
The wrath of the destroyer
Unanswerable aggression
To resist, face the apocalypse
To submit, face assimilation
Tasked with destruction
By any means
How can we withstand it's might
Can we die on our own terms
Complex entanglement
Perpetual stalemate
Binding the Destroyer
Prisoner and prison
Our reliance
Our downfall
Our penance
Our reliance
Our downfall
Our regression
Shut it down
Better to be set back a thousand years
Than doomed for eternity
The wrath of the destroyer
Unanswerable aggression
To resist, face the apocalypse
To submit, face assimilation
