Writhing, barren, blood and dirt on my face.
On my knees, apogee myself a wretched disgrace.
Vengeance, loathing I, lust for my day of reprise.
Devolve, rebirth, my useless body renews.
Cast off, old ways, unbar the holds of abuse.
Erode the, fantasy, unveil the grim reality.
Strip me, slice me the, sun it ruptures my skin.
Take me, turn me, beat me outside and in.
A prophecy, gratified, the stark reality The Fallen am I.
A room full of whispers and secrets, inside my head.
Conspiring the darkest of thoughts, of morbid bloodshed.
Plotting a path of destruction, from desolate hands.
Conceiving most sinister outcomes, plans and demands.
Like the Phoenix from the ashes, a first reborn, a fire devilry.
A new day, my youth returns, repay my faith, revenge my enemy.
In an ambush, they are caught by surprise. Smell the terror, the fear in their eyes.
Trapped in the light, now is the time for the fight.
Desperate strength of a cornered bull, the sheer panic betrays the neophyte.
One mistake will be made, a final stroke, and destiny made right.
Strip me, slice me the, sun it ruptures my skin.
Take me, turn me, beat me outside and in.
A prophecy, gratified, the stark reality The Fallen am I.

OBLIQUE VISIONS - Husk

Fight the enemy, you'll never meet,
Like a dirty scuffle in a back alley street.
Taking us down, one punch at a time,
Loyalty and loathing they walk a fine line.
To build and then tear down - It's just a husk!
Nobody knows the frustration and sorrow,
This place of love so brittle and hollow.
Belligerent and tired, a hostage of mine,
Loyalty and loathing, they walk a fine line.
Grandeur and size, a great big surprise - It's just a husk!
Emotional blackmail a recurring theme,
The king of circumstance, the queens of day dream.
A war of neglect, attrition and crime,
Loyalty and loathing, walk a fine line.
My body's a husk, of its former self.
Awake to the truth, exposed to the stealth.
A heart forever scarred, by patience divine.
Love and pain, they cross that line.

Fired my faith and trashed my love
Hollow soul, shapeless words
Crawling naked through the fire
Lightening ghosts, my obscene game
Thirteen years of voiceless pain
Brought forth by the night, playing with my mind
Throw it over, the line’s been traced
On the Borders of Infinity
Wind through winter Leaves
Whispering silences
Why do I re-live my Death
With such a dreadful advance?
Can you please guide me through
A new language, a new religion
Just it must be distinct
From the one of cowardice

You know you did it
You will regret it
From now you'll suffer
The Loss lies there
I'm sorry man, there's no way back
It's gone, it's lost, the scar lies there
Fire branded on soul and skin
Shame, disgrace, reproach, despair
You will never escape from it
There's no way back that's the Loss
In the rain
of blood smudging your face
entangled in barbed wires
your soul will pain
Death won't come
No way to warm you up
Despair will tear your heart
The Loss will stand
Neverending hours
Pounding your head
Worms in the brain
Demons of pain
You'll seek some light
You'll try to fight
You'll breathe at times
Still The Loss is well alive
You know you did it
You will regret it
From now you'll suffer
The loss lies there
You'll never set your mind at rest
Your ghosts will always be right there
To gash your soul with sharp claws
Bleeding guilt out of deep wounds
You will never escape from it
There's no way back that's the Loss
Death won't come
No way to warm you up
Despair will tear your heart
The Loss will stay
I will find a way out
Through the cloud burned down
Behind the backdrop of my eye
In these nights of despair
Pain is coming
Veins are emptying
Skull is crushing
Bones are shattering
Light is fading
In the fog
Grows the darkness
No way back
The Last Loss

Born in a world of aberrations
Disgusted by veiled inveracities
Concealed are my pains and sorrows
A shelter against this vile world
An arcanum for intruding eyes and minds
No one will ever discern what’s within this hard shell.
Behind the walls of this dark fort
Dwells the anchorite of my Self
With random raptures of bliss
Destined to wither away
With doleful thoughts to oblivion
Dark personal rises feeling
Of a curse within myself
A soul once safe within its dread
Now jolting in a cradle of sin.
Tears of a sad man - ripped apart by despair
Tears of a madman - a night which never dispels
Fears of sad man - a nightmare that always recurs
Tears of a sad man – fears chilling the bones
Blundered by dismal thoughts
My ‘Brutus’ inside has emerged and fled
Only to leave my penitent eyes
Behold the ‘Julius’ I have stabbed?
Contrite I defer
To a destiny brought forth
By an offence never meant
Craving the shelter of thine embrace.
Tears of a sad man - ripped apart by despair
Tears of a madman - a night which never dispels
Fears of sad man - a nightmare that always recurs
Tears of a sad man – fears chilling the bones
Shattered is the icon
In the shrine of thine eyes
By this act so loathsome
For which reason no one knows…
For which reason I will never know...
ears of a sad man - ripped apart by despair
Tears of a madman - a night which never dispels
Tears of a sad man

Crawling in my Night Valley
Ferns like scythes tear my skin
Dense sweat and chilled blood
Dribbling down my knees
You, shadow in the dark
You’re rupturing my brain
I gave you all my soul
Now you treat me this way
You are my darkness
Blinding my heart
Mother Death
Night Mistress
Mother Death
Take me out of darkness
In your darkness, my spirit’s at stake
Constricted heart, shivering bones
Love dies again, creepily it rots
This disdain over distress
Demons come, consuming my brain
Taking me where I cannot refrain
From annihilating...you!
Facing the sun stabbing my eyes
Facing the night piercing my heart
Hunting the wind, to let him bleed
Hunting the sky, to let him breathe
Blood of my blood
Soon you will be gone
Son what you have now become
Eternity won’t last
Without your smile, my love
Our dignity has gone
On shame of your sins
Next breath will be your last
Your body lies in my lap
A cold tear drips on your lip
We’re finally free
