crumbling dusty remains of a long forgotten corpse
lying in a shallow grave awaiting vengeance
life taken to purify the evil in my soul
the fragile body may be gone but evil still remains

in the ground, in the air, in the night
free of all physical boundaries and time
life goes on around me unaware
of the festering evil that will never die

legacy of blind hatred
channel of darkness flowing through me
memories of past trespasses
feed my wrath, make me be

crumbling dusty remains will remain inert no more
undead horror breaking free to claim vengeance
life taken to satisfy the hatred in my soul
lifeless bodies in my wake but evil still remains

at my call feel the chilling wind of death
skies turn black as I gather strength
preparing to unleash the full fury of my soul
to wash my death across the face of the world

waiting in the dark for helpless victims
crush their souls and salvage hate and pain
recreate them animate the corpses
send them forth legions of death

Shadows in the fading light
lengthen with approaching night

feel the wind blowing in
crisp and cold upon my skin
unobscured the moon is bright
shining with a haunting light

Entering my own dark haunt
sheltering from the cold
hear the cry of hungry wolves
brief reminder of the night world

nighttime battle rages on
rampaging from dusk to dawn
nightmares i have yet to dream
now i enter to the dream world

presence in my room
evil in my dreams
procrustean bed
taking my soul through my dream

entering my dreaming with me
entering my dreaming with me
perfect companion by my side
giving me everything i want
giving me everything i want
asking nothing in return
beauty intelligence power
beauty intelligence power
accepting of my every fault
bodies intertwine in my mind
bodies intertwine in my mind
taking my soul without mercy

free my mind
fill my heart
quench my thirst
take my soul

love
warmth
lust
desire
cold
beauty
consuming
evil

i will freely give myself
you would never do me harm
you are my companion now
and forever
mistress of my sleeping mind
keeper of my vanquished life
holder of my total love
you consume me (you possess me)

i awake to emptiness
colors not as vivid now
returning to the cold of life
empty without you

was it real or just a dream?
i feel half of what i was
can it be i've been consumed?
possessed by a creature of the night

with the coming of night
heralding the end of life
gaze into the firelight
dreaming of the coming blight

fields laid to waste, nothing remains
cities decay, crumbling
devoid of life, the stench of death
perfumes the air, i breathe it deep

i will ride, alone, unleased
when the world is mine, no light, no hate
i will ride, unseen, unscorned
witness the decay, return to earth

with the coming of night
heralding the end of life
gaze into the firelight
dreaming of the coming blight
with the coming of the dawn
signaling the world's rebirth
gaze into the firelight
consuming the wretched past

free until my end, enslaved by none
see them crying out, they beg and plead
all to no avail, their world destroyed
i call victory, alone i remain

i will ride, alone, unleashed
now the world is mine, no light, no hate
i will ride, unseen, unscorned
vengeance by my hand, no one survives

why am i trapped within myself
why must i
live within their norms
their customs
why can't i break away and free
instead i
live a life that is
inhibited

would that i were ignorant
blissful and complacent
following the leader
but i am painfully cognizant
conflicted and uneasy
of all that is wrong with their thinking

clarity of thought is my curse
clarity i perceive as muddiness
clarity is threatening to the world
clarity i must keep to myself
clarity outwardly is my shield
clarity masquerading as vacancy
clarity following the leader
clarity invisibility is haunting me

the blackness of my mind
not betrayed
by my peaceful countenance
and social manner
my conflict remains well hidden
from the world
and sometimes from myself
to ease my troubled mind

trying to be one of them
blissful and complacent
following their customs
but i am inside screaming
conflicted and uneasy
wishing someone would hear me

clarity of thought is my curse
clarity i perceive as muddiness
clarity is threatening to the world
clarity i must keep to myself
clarity outwardly is my shield
clarity masquerading as vacancy
clarity following the leader
clarity invisibility is haunting me

i can no longer hide myself
i must reveal my
thoughts and feelings to someone anyone
someone must
share my outlook my independent thought
such a person
must be hiding like me
invisible

trying to be one of them
blissful and complacent
following their customs
consumed by inner torment
conflicted and uneasy
how can i recognize them

clarity of thought is my curse
clarity i perceive as muddiness
clarity is threatening to the world
clarity i must keep to myself
clarity outwardly is my shield
clarity masquerading as vacancy
clarity following the leader
clarity invisibility is haunting me

blessed is the dark
glorious is the night before me
evil will prevail
icy gaze betrays no mercy

floating in a sea of misery
battered by the waves of sorrow
overcome by the agony
of life in line with righteous folly

seeking understanding
deviance unwanted
i am offered nothing
sociopath my label
who are you to judge me?
i am nothing like you
hollow shells of men
cookie cutter humans

accepting is the dark
night creatures show no judgement
fraternity of death
binded by misanthropy

with the setting of the sun we gather
unseen by those who reject us
no masquerade is needed for acceptance
we are true to outselves and no others

finding understanding
deviance is honored
i am offered kinship
brother is my label
no one here to judge me
i am only like me
rich and varied nature
i am valued for me

blessed with a wretched inhuman soul
enhanced by hatred and agony
driven by misanthropy
I descend to darkness
so will be time to confront the light
now we gather and build our might
i commit my soul to death and fire
I descend to darkness

Comfort in the dark
respite in the bonds of kinship
i recite the chant
calling forth the evil spirits

surrounded by the night
the company of death and fire
hell is burning bright
to fulfill my dark desire
gathering our might
we will face the light empire
weapons gleaming bright
death my only true desire

...we burn
...with hate
...the light
...fades
...we rise
...with might
...to face
...god
