Shell
Echoes of rage shatter stone hate seeps through the cracks of wisdom molten tears of emptiness cracked wide open wretched inside out arcane fingers rip through my spine to find a way to my heart tear through the emptiness in search of forever flown away on wings of aggression lost in a cavernous tomb adorned with pride of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed I stand alone breathing time tormented shadows twist in agony at the tortured heaves of loves last breath the pain of what was bleeding the life out you'll never know the rage whit which I hate you'll never know the passion with which I love in my search cure becomes affliction a malignant infestation burrows through the soul hollow forsaken empty man the dust has life and the wind a soul still you carry your banner of perverted righteousness a crimson smile I stand alone breathing time

Cherubim
Heaven sent chosen few slip through the cracks out of the house of bondage unleash all these unloved upon the hearts of the wicked the four angels hold the four winds as the seven trumpets sound existence sustained on hatred fervoring clamoring rising augmented drunk with the blood of the martyrs innocence died at birth anguish of the guilty hidden in corners lost cornered in the dephts of your mind hunched in the shadows of your conscience the four bloodstained walls that surround it cannot silence the screams of your guilt bow now you infidel and as you lose your faith you lose your life

Eucharist
Oh the spirits cries sweet music set to the beat of a tormented heart complements the pain the soul dies Jesus wept the pain is what I live for it make me know I'm alive sharing in the misery of a thousand tortured minds my soul screams for the suffering of life with all my existence I embrace this twisted emotion passionately call me brother call me friend call me your son in my youth I gazed upon the basilisk I am stone this voiceless torment this suffering there is no greater love all paths chosen leading with twisted deception to the same place and as I go careening down that infinite black chasm hear me bellow amen

Husk
Dead words these seven tongued devils speak this only soul begs to be released encased this crumbling husk watching their lips move they say nothing primal fingers peel back the layers searching for something barely remembered it manifests itself as godlike shadows on the edge of my mind the potent image of an archetype shakes the earth breathes in the sky alone in these oceans of black something brushes my leg in the darkness below I see white slide over it's back dolls eyes its teeth rip wide jaws part and I stare down the throat of god

The art
Paint me a pretty picture make sure it's black and white the colors would hurt my eyes no imperfections or I'll cut them out paint me a pretty picture I painted over all my others in red

One and only
My guts burn you set them ablaze when you pulled them out you're not even here to feed the fire so why do they still burn not much left now smoldering ashes so whats to love you think you can hide from what you've done you think I can't smell your fear from a distance of 5 years an 600 miles it burns in my nostrils as my heart burns in my throat your time has come you will get yours I'll force you to bear witness to my pain that alone enough to set you insane I've held it all been conditioned to if it could be channeled into violence I'd eat your existence I have not the taste for the flesh of the innocent but yours father has made my mouth water

Untouchables
Surrounded by the sorrow of infinite lost souls I hear the silent screams of lives that once were but are no more envelope in this threshold of pain all life knows haunted by images of joy I once knew but long since forgotten death surrounds me daily but I look through hardened eyes screams around every corner deaf ears to it cries I see the dismembered corpse humanity once was once I had a place but my piece no longer fits the puzzle no longer will I be persecuted for having ideals I'll walk the way of the alienated and the untouchables

Litany
In a moment of terror I am dealt a hand of pain immobilization shock wawe never ending patient virtue with pain increasing tenfold the blind can't read what's written children scream pain unbearable deaths burning touch caresses every soul still they walk unphased begging for mercy only found through further pain total acceptance no one to share the pain no hand to hold as the worlds blurring hard to breath mind numbing fighting for conscious colors to calm tranquility setting in frustration fatigue inability to function train of thought broken liberated from mental anguish with no strength to even more remember nothing modern day magic shared with many the same but different affliction lights out for now to fix what's broken armed with knowledge now a material gain no more

Undying
Hammer drives home the third and final nail this twisted disfigurement adjoined spiritually to the cross I call home one thousand eyes do not lament when you fuse upon me for I choose this existence watch them dance their intoxicated dance the acrid stench of the tools of their trade the hate felt for those once like me who have chosen to fall from their cross exists unequaled one thousand feet incessant tattoo scarred earth sacrilege filth covers mother of all bastard child attempts matricide hang my head in misery but my eyes will not shut out the screams scars run deep reopen with a word rivers form lakes of torment for them to find sustenance in here I will stay nailed to my cross alone as I was in the beginning

New age (1993)
Untouched by passion I hear it scream under my foot slow evolution to an unfeeling block of ice made so by both force and by choice trapped in this miserable existence give me pain ritual scarification of my astral self your indulgence of my candor dissident tone shrill in my ear fucking hypocrite you're everything you hate in me I relish every drop of pain that you all inject the only feeling I trust I smile as I role up my sleeve I am the product of your selfishness greed and deceit every stone you cast upon me bruises me lovingly

Sustenance
Done enough damage to my soul back down you've won time and time again no one left to hold up that wall where the last brick has fallen where I call my home stand naked before you but you can't take away what you stripped away before leave me alone with my insane find what's left of me void of any emotion at all you took my love my compassion my dignity I can make you feel I will slice the throat of society I thirst for flowing life if it will help me find my place so help me I'll rip out your heart vengeance come to me done unto you how dare you further yourself through my disillusion

Sorry, you'll have to figure out the lyrics yourself for this one

New age (1992)

Vicious cycle
Hidden from reality escape is minimal thinking without knowing close the fist of life no changes for life product of an environment unchanged all time is over property of the industry no mind of your own we're all the same all just links in the chain consume or be consumed blindly walk their path closed eyes of trust our demise big business selling industrialized addiction and death you think these death agents are made for your enjoyment think again you're just a pawn in the big corporate machine a tool to keep the poor in their place

Conditioned to the pain
Alone in this world no middle ground either friend or foe pick your corner and wait for the bell learned my lesson the time before conditioned to the pain wrap my fist tighter this time cold blood run trough my veins knocked down by your second face I will not stay down darkness tries to overcome me silent scream you will not hear blow to the soul alone alienated trapped cornered by an oppressive existence the pain is superficial life numbed me long before remain standing against the odds conditioned to the pain I will not kiss canvas alone I'll take you down with me forced back against the ropes barely able to stand the emotional slugfest
