Shunyata 05:54
only one thing is eternal it is nothing all things are empty even nothing hollow existence no concept can grasp shunyata the ultimate void shunyata unlimited freedom the end is endless so are all truths realities are unreal so are all lies abstract phenomena absolute self shunyata the ultimate void shunyata perfect nothingness dependently co-arisen from the great blackness independently ceasing into the circle of madness shunyata the ultimate void shunyata infinite momentum

I cloak myself in mystery I cannot trust the human breed take a deep look into my black eyes you will not find what you desire not a whisper, not a word welcome to your personal babel think of my mind as an avalanche just one snowflake would suffice to level all of your brain cells my silence unmasked is the loudest thing you'll ever hear my silence unmasked it will consume your every cell the waterfall of words you spill testifies your infantile insecurity all those sounds will vanish in time like feathers in a fire think of my mind as a desert storm one grain of it is just enough to decorticate your bones my silence unmasked is the loudest thing you'll ever hear my silence unmasked it will consume your every cell

Escapathy 03:11
like a steed in knee deep mud a sewer rat in the trap a hare in a snake's embrace a firefly in a spiders web I am caught the urge to escape, it blazes inside the apathy makes me feel ready to die like a gnu in lion's claws an eagle in crosshairs a whale on the sunny beach a deer in the headlights I am fucking doomed the urge to escape, it blazes inside the apathy makes me feel ready to die shall I explode is it worth for this miserable life shall I give up just let this end and release my mind like an ant on the pond a moth in the light a sparrow over the ocean a newborn in the wild the urge to escape, it blazes inside the apathy makes me feel ready to die I am lost

Lucid Entity 02:55
man is bonded with its matter but unconscious of its spirit consuming all vigor from vessels of decay disconnect flesh and mind purified by demise join the lucid entity there is so much more to see join the lucid entity the only path to true ascension nature's outcasts driven by wrath parasitic blind to instinct blinding light, flaming freight celebrate disaster new era of the few breach limits of the bodily join the lucid entity there is so much more to see join the lucid entity the only path to true ascension

Genethic Law 04:32
by genethic law you are inferior to us all sown and harvested like plants you will serve as nutrition when all animals went extinct we needed a new source of meat the key to life at our hands we figured out nature's blueprints selective human breeding brought us new species herds of which we keep to sustain our needs single-purpose humans optimized for pleasure by genethic law you are inferior to us all sown and harvested like plants you will serve as nutrition the new genetic class system forged a stable society once we overcame morale we ended hunger and poverty our modern book of ethics ensures our existence for centuries human material is our new currency single-purpose humans utilized for vile work collateral murder has become a sport by genethic law you are inferior to us all sown and harvested like plants you will serve as nutrition

a cosmos within, created at will by a mad and selfish god expendable life, chained like a slave existence is impossibly vague in this conscious microverse not a soul's life is deserved in this very scorched world any chance is crippled at birth encapsulated, utilized humiliated, left behind the stars aligned by design evolution's spark was just a farce single-purpose universe tumbling through the vacuum in this conscious microverse not a soul's life is deserved in this very scorched world any chance is crippled at birth infinite, yet trapped disenchanted, hopeless brutality in truth elusive knowledge the world is on a thread like the sword of Damocles

Determined 03:21
there is no purpose, we don't belong spawned into chaos, looking for order we're irrelevant in the eyes of time don't cling onto life, we're all gonna die engulfed in blackness, hostile and cold autonomous life – an illusion of control created by chance and it makes no sense nothing to amend that can save us men the doom, the doom, the doom is ours we won't know if it's then or now the doom, the doom, the doom arrives determined to die what we call culture what we call real is just our perception behind its doors we're sealed alas breaking free is just in our minds unless we leave the physical world behind we are but a blight, ready to be wiped deserving to die, all our plights are lies neither the past nor our future can be changed as we so desire we're stuck in a loop, doing what we do entropy of life, nothing will remain the doom, the doom, the doom is ours we won't know if it's then or now the doom, the doom, the doom arrives determined to die the horror, the horror, the horror is here can't you see our destiny is drear? it's time, it's time, it's time to retire become one with the universe

there can be fatality in friendship regret in generosity and hate in a prayer there can be relief in dismay gain within a loss and warmth in isolation brittle bliss fragile woe there can be pain in pleasure envy in gratitude and fear in hope there can be salvation in harm comfort in the dark and beauty in brutality brittle bliss fragile woe alternating between countless states of mind contradicting and fueling each other and I'm the wick that burns

he is mocking me, he is impersonating me yet I fail to recognize who this man is where right is wrong and left is right there is no pain to abide where there is immortal grudge beauty meets the harshest judge where light slowly fades to green dark minds will find their peace where souls reflect their every sorrow time is only borrowed its surface liquefies by a gentle touch is one step forward one step too far? I walk through the mirror to reunite with my second self I walk through the mirror and smash it from inside where two dimensions collide there will be blind denial where all settings of life invert destinies get blurred where four equal eyes arrange guilt stares back in disdain where silver silk coats the walls pride invokes the fall its surface hardens and gets fragile again the world ahead is the world behind I walk through the mirror to reunite with my second self I walk through the mirror and smash it from inside enter the physical suicide leave the useless shell behind pass the portal of sanity I walk through the mirror to reunite with my second self I walk through the mirror and smash it from inside

Amor Fati 03:48
humans are driven by their power to shape reality but if you turn the other cheek reality shapes you there is no plan of life laid out for you by any fucking god still you choose to blame his ways as an excuse give yourself up, bow down before your fate the harvester of destiny is sharpening his blades – amor fati accept the unchangeable, that there's no control eternal slavery is waiting for your soul – amor fati if solely the apprehension of change paralyzes you you are nothing but a puppet that lives haphazardly there is no plan of life laid out for you by any fucking god still you choose to blame his ways as an excuse give yourself up, bow down before your fate the harvester of destiny is sharpening his blades – amor fati accept the unchangeable, that there's no control eternal slavery is waiting for your soul – amor fati there is no god but the almighty self it's got a hunger that can't be stilled give yourself up, bow down before your fate the harvester of destiny is sharpening his blades – amor fati accept the unchangeable, that there's no control eternal slavery is waiting for your soul – amor fati

Soul Hunger 05:34
this wilted land attracts spirits of many kinds the bloodstains of the fallen inspire new odysseys seeking an end to this curse humanity is long gone dragged into the abyss an endless cycle of despair vanquished and lost beyond the white light the demons inside against the demons ahead soul hunger soul hunger a currency that ever lasts be wary of bravery elation doesn't last invaded by the past the phantoms of revenge the sun as ally still, darkness is comforting traversing the crest of death to meet the end vanquished and lost beyond the white light the demons inside against the demons ahead consuming what's left in a useless shell to be hollow is to survive soul hunger soul hunger a currency that ever lasts soul hunger
