Extinction Event
06:39

|||
|
Tiny point of light
Pale in the dead night sky
Cannot be seen by the naked eye
It’s where we’ve lived.
It’s where we’ll die.
And we will never know that sky
Our place in space and time
Is a blip in the cosmic mind
The basis of our lives
Is in this time
On this tiny point
In an infinity of stars
On this earth, this pale blue dot
These trains of thought and your perception
Forcing - keeping you down
No return or reincarnation
Play your part, this grand delusion
Pushing your face into the ground
Life’s so short that when the patterns emerge
We are ready to die (We drown in death)
As humans we look up to the sky
To answer all our questions, to answer all our prayers, allay our fears
Deaf to our indignation, impossible and black
It’s in this black we drown
We drown.
We drown
Lay down your head, roar your grief to the soil
Mourn for the death and the waste of your toil
Close both your eyes and prepare for reprieve
A life time in hell, your reward is release
Time is all there is. Time and dust
Filled with the billions that lived, died and bled
Here on this earth in the black
93 million miles from the sun
This is our home in this cold
Dark lonely heaven that’s made us it’s host
It’s mercy is death. The pleasure is ours.
Spiral towards the extinction event.
Wrap myself in time and dreams
Perception’s fading, points of reference fail
Time ceases to exist
You drown
Release of all our inhibitions
Into the cosmic benediction
Multiverse of all dimensions
You drown
I don’t need my eyes to see
I’m buried too
I don’t need my heart to feel
That I’m buried too
My God closed my eyes for me
I’ll be buried too
Your God ripped my heart from me
Now I’m buried too

Skin Is Not Enough
05:27
|
|||
|
Grow! Rise! Fall! Die!
Idleness and ignorance
Can’t justify this arrogance
A degeneration Inquisition
Stealing your will to strive
Pressure pushing out your ribs
Expanding tight against the skin
A pressing pain within your skull
Eyelids inverted.
A veil
A Shield
A life
Withheld
Each step
A world
Unknown
A force
A flame
A life
Revealed
Move Onwards! Onwards! Onwards! Onwards!
The unease in the chest
A tear in spacetime
The arrow moving onwards
Towards the end of life
The pressure in your skull
That forces out your eyes
A terror in the chemistry
That we call life
Forwards! The stricken cry
Crushed by the weight of time
Extinguish the light
A brief candle in emptiness
Response and reward
Misdirection and guilt
Keep you living for death
Keep you focused on dying
A veil
A Shield
A life
Withheld
Each step
A world
Unknown
It’s in your skull
Tied in your brain
You know it’s a lie
Just a part of a stage unseen
It’s burning in your lungs
Your tongue speaks fire
Words that could throw the world
Upon a funeral pyre
The skin should not contain us
But the body fails and dies
The energy within us
Must dissipate in time
So burn a flame eternal
So burn a flame for life
As those who would contain us
Would rather see it die
The skin is not enough
To contain the hell within
Serve like a dog in heaven
Or burn and rule in Hell.
If it’s all just a part of a game
The author’s unseen
There’s promise of something the flesh can’t contain
A desire for purpose where chaos still reigns
Yet there’s still those who’d douse all the flames
Their worship obscene
On the backs of dead giants, speak names of the dead
Spoken in tongues of reverence, a worship of lifelessness
On this tiny speck in the heavens
Riding the crest of a great stellar tide
Down filaments of gravity and time
The skin cannot contain us
The skin is not enough
And even, in death
We exist in solar breath
A force
A flame
A life
Revealed

The Sky Has Opened
04:57
|
|||
|
We were the centre of the cosmos
The jewel of all creation
The great work of all ages
The enlightened ones
The light of all the heavens
Core of the firmament
From blazing sky to shining sea
The pinnacle of existence
Shine
Bright
Saviour in the sky
Wide
Vast
Without limit
Grace
Of
God in Heaven
And My
Life
Has Meaning!
Enlightenment has cost us dearly
The egocentric dream is fading
But the arrogance lives on
The serpent slithered into Eden
Fed us from the tree of knowledge
The heavens cleared
Oblivion instead of heaven
The stark lack of a creator
And a life without a meaning
The existential dread, the realisation that we’re only human
Is a price some couldn’t pay
Cast
Down
From
Eden
Cast out
Infidels and nonbelievers
Cast out
Heretics and idle dreamers
Cast out
Any doctrine that does not place you at the centre
Wipe out
Any move to undermine you
Wipe out
A source of knowledge that confounds you
Wipe out
Seditious claims of an outside world
Useless!
The attempts are always doomed
Useless!
The truth will out, your world comes crashing down
Curse Them!
The sky has opened and you’re just another
Hairless ape!
Who’s caused:
Pain
Torture
Hate
War
Death
The Sky Has opened, and we saw nothing but ourselves
The Sky has opened and there was nothing there but stars
And Ourselves.

Bleak Affirmations
04:15
|
|||
|
Uncontrolled, unbound by mercy
Unrivalled, in it’s simplicity
Bound by none, and none to answer to
Survival is an impossibility
Cast your patterns to nothingness
The face that you project, rewards you
With a marked indifference
If it even sees you at all
It’s time moves slow
And you grow old
The body’s frail
And dies alone in the darkness
The terror in the heart is meaningless in size and scope
A light that winks out in an instant like it was never there
Fields of bones and teeth and hair and rings and precious nothings
Conflagration, bloodshed, terror, death, war, fear and hate
All. In. An. Instant.
Now is where all life is
Present time is all there is
What has gone is unreachable
What’s to come is just as dead
The present is deadly.
The present is terrifying
No one lives in the past
There is no such thing as the future

Depopulate
03:49

Dig through the layers of flesh
Long since rotten into oil
I have seen my future
I burn it every day
All toil and strife turns to combustion in the world beyond
Saponification of all flesh crushed between layers of stone
Natural mass extinction or an orchestrated genocide
Flesh will fail. Minds will fall. Thought will be extinguished
Hydrocarbons all that’s left, a layer of grease and coprolite
Throughout all endeavours the outcome is fire and burning in every scenario
Your lifespan is nought, your consciousness less, your reasoning negligible
Your very chemistry is rather incendiary with enough pressure and time
Your ending is death, your outcome is fire
Heaving the corpses under the earth, peeling and falling apart
Adipocere solidifying, cellulite turning to wax
The fatter we are, the hotter we burn, obesity turned into flame
A sedentary lifestyle turned into conflagration
Its the only energy many of you will burn
Silting your veins, harden the arteries, laziness padding your bones
Larger than life, bigger in death, the adipose tissue expands
As we burn those that came before us the cycle completes
The carbon now silts the sky
Coats our lungs in ichor
The plastic now fills our bellies
The ghosts of the lizards choke the apes to death
They Wipe Us out
Everything
They Wipe Us Out
Everyone
They Wipe Us Out
All that lives
They Wipe Us Out

Death Cults Of Abraham
05:48
|

|
Docile and silent
Lash them to the stone
Trusting, Acquiescent
Lash them to the stone
Wide eyed!
The Clouds are wonder!
Lash them to the stone
Living to be slaughtered
Lash them to the stone
Grace
Sewn together
Patchwork cloth of guilt and sin
Faith
In another
That your interests are protected
Fear
Of yourself
Can’t be trusted with existence
Wait
For your death
Your reward is infinite
Coward!
You see the sun
Coward!
You see the stars
Coward!
You know theres something more
Than the sand you’ll rot in
Kafir!
No sentience here
Kafir!
No will to live
Kafir!
No worship of living, just the dead behind you
Damn you
For spreading death
Damn you
For wasting life
Damn you
Prepared to die, sacrificed to a dogma
Death cult
Eat through your life
Death Cult
Eat others too
Death cult
Prepare for death
Lash Them To The Stone
Abraham and his children
Spread a message to the world
Life is fleeting, transitory
Only death is real
Your sense, an illusion
You’re part of a cosmic plan
Your reward is what you live for
Your Death!
Fall
Wait for the fall of man
Fall
Wait for the graveyard earth
Fall
Pray for an eager death
Fall
Waste this planet of no worth
Hail
Men of many kinds of cloth
Hail
A ritual to spend your life
Hail
Greed, control and judgement
Hail
Planet earth a grave to be
HAIL!
And the world became your desert

Magnificent Desolation
06:13
|
|||
|
It dies and will not live again
What was there before will not mourn
It’s all
That’s gone
It’s been here
Through all
As Above
So Below
Around
Enfold
An assumed sense of purpose, in chaos
A purpose invented.
Arrogance in our inception
Creation, Destruction, Absolution
Imbalanced equations
Paved the way for our existence
There was nothing in the sky
There was nothing here before
Nothing will be here when we’re gone
An emptiness complete
A heaven filled with swirling gas
A heaven devoid of final truth
A heaven that does not welcome us
A heaven forged in chaos
(One of the many mistakes we make is that we give purpose to our observations, We assume that what we can see is here for our benefit, and for our consumption.
Mixed with the constant belief that ‘the end is near’, this has led to rampant over population and a disregard for those who will be here beyond our lifespan, a span of time that is neither recoverable nor repeatable, either through a belief in an afterlife or reincarnation.
The universe is indifferent to our existence. It does not have a plan of creation because it’s movements are dictated by gravity and time. Rest assured there is no such thing as “God”, there there is no reason for existence other than the one you’ve created for yourself.)
The light in the blackness
Is hurled out from star
Your island in the madness
Will break down.
Time and space combine
Perception gone in time.
No More Reason
No More Logic
All Is Gravity
All Is Time
A silence, perfected
A longing, in my bones
Cessation Of Life
To be gone without a trace
Beyond the human race
But there will not be emptiness
In desolation there’s a form
That was never here for us
And will be here when we’re gone.

Schwarzschild Radius

Far flung, no end in sight
Without warmth and light to shine on me
No object nor feeling nor emotion
Has found me since I myself slipped here
Stretched thin to point of breaking
Till the filaments sing in the solar wind
Vibration and sound and light and heat and love
Have not followed me. I cannot access them
Numb. Cold
Detached. Isolate
Memory and thought
Are one. Are nought
Crush
All moments into one in the belly of the beast
Pull
All thoughts apart, break them to component threads
Distill
Emotion to resonance and patterns
Erase
Connections. Erase all process
The points of reference are shifting into red
What was familiar, and safe, is gone
Bound
Within. The scope is internal
Bide
My time, because eternity awaits
Sealed
In time. The Arrow now longer moves
Contained
Captured. The ultimate inside.
The spark has long since burned out
The flame for me no longer burns
I’ve inhaled through space and time
My exhalation is forever
The shifting to red will shift to black
In all directions will be nothing
No points of light, no reference in sight
Stationary in the blackness
The spark has long since burned out
The flame for me no longer burns
I’ve exhaled through space and time
My exhalation is forever
Far flung, no end in
Without warmth and light
No object nor feeling nor emotion
Has found me in here
I have felt my life
Slipping from my veins
I am here
I am below
I have seen the end
I have seen the start
I am here
I am below
I’m a single point.
I’m infinity
I am here
I am below
I’m the alpha
I’m the omega
I am nothing
I’m below
