Cease to exist

While death presents countless greetings

All will endure the inexorable fate

Taught to be afraid rather than embrace the comforting dark

Relieving us from this miserable state

Justified survival

Absolve yourself of your sins

Wait for promise, where now there’s only

Constant Torment

Minds held enslaved

Visions of life dissolving

Burdens on this planet

The feeling in my chest echoes throughout my extremities

Mind distraught in inner conflict, deciding how to follow through

Dead eyed I proceed

Unfortunate victim

To catch me in my path

Blacked out violent dismay

Abandoned bloody aftermath

Constant torment

The plague within my mind expressed

Ritualistic ceremony

To put them and my soul to rest

All who claim God’s grace

He won’t come for you

Left unanswered

While I rid what once held me enslaved

Starved of your life

To feed mine, the process now begins

Candles lit, stage set as I sharpen my instruments

Answer to callings of an unknown deity

Adorned in splattered red

Constant torment

The plague within my mind expressed

Ritualistic ceremony

To put them and my soul to rest
