Pungent stenches roil.
Pulsing waves assault the senses.
What do deities eat?
Effluvia of god's digestion.
Doorways forced open
No heed paid to who lives inside.
You can't comprehend
The ancient tongues demanding your life.
No!
Don't look into those clustered eyes.
No!
Don't heed that voice that speaks inside your mind.
Breathing foul microbes, .
Nucleic acid, Infectious kill.
A city of sickness
Viscera bent to its will.
Pulsing sensation.
Sickly sky looks dead and wrong.
Plants in fetid soil
Another pulse, and then it's gone.
Violent visions burning
Nauseous whirlpools churning
Breaking into that place
Where you thought you were safe.
Those ancient ruins
With stones so black.
Greasy shadows reach out.
Profane pollution
Seeps through the cracks
Black Eyes and Crimson Mouths.
Grim architecture
Impossible angles
Spatial and temporal Hell.
Screaming into
The Void, that also
screams into you as well.

Terror
In the sky
Fabric
Torn away.
Reveal
What's inside.
Wounded
Reality
Fabric
Ripped apart.
Atoms
Forcefully
Splitting.
Implosions.
Collapse
Dimensions.
Falling in.
Knew it!
They fucking knew it.
They always knew it.
They'll profit from it.
And let us all die.
Harvest
Building blocks.
Ripping
Things apart
Selling
Particles
Quarks and
Neutrinos.
We can
Still escape
If we
Get this out.
Fuck those
Corporate thugs
Trying
To kill us
Not this time.
Do it.
We'll fucking prove it.
You can't undo it.
The damage to it.
We'll just all die.
Stolen
Data drives
Saving
People's lives
Rebel
Physicists.
Scrambling
(to) deal with this
Not much
They can do
If that
Point is reached.
(it will) collapse
reality.
And then
We're all dead meat
We're all dead meat!
Fuckers!
They made a doorway
They planned to escape.
They're getting away.
(and) left us to die
Swarming hordes descending,
The shock troops are chasing
The MEGAN rounds encasing
System locking hot-wire,
Interlocking crossfire
It's all
Fucking greed.
Hoarding
Then they leave.
Taking
All we're worth
They flee
(this) universe
Escape
(to) Parallels.
Leaving
All this hell
Rotting
Collapsing
They take
Everything
Everything!
Menace!
They fucking left us
Collapsing nexus
Discarded wreckage
That's all we are now!

Steel breaks ground
Pungent fresh dirt
Earthworm scents
Instinct reverts.
Abject
disgust!
Fear of death.
Vacillation.
Chained to tombs.
Violation.
Blindfolded
Led to slaughter
In bad faith
Heinous father
High on apathy
Subjugated happily
Low capacity
To raw dog reality
Die! Die! Die!
Buried.
Hardwired and signal-bound.
Rotting.
Decomposing into the ground
Tied up.
Ropes are tightened around the wrists.
Sinking
Unaware and oblivious.
AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH.
We are all gonna fucking die!
As long as I get that clout.
I don't give fuck
CYclonIC curRENTS are churning up
Nature's Framework crumbling and corrupt
Siphoning petroleum vomitus
Celebrate our decay. Just look at us!
Distracted by the glow of false knowing.
Lost yourself in all that shit-throwing
The chance to save yourself, you're foregoing.
Scraping
Digging
Digging
Digging deep
All the way down
Digging deep
All the way down
Digging deep

This is the day.
Seen in the cosmos.
All that we did has led us to this moment here.
Before there was life,
And Nothing existed,
The Stars came down and deposited life in the Earth.
A Woman was born
From cornsilk and dirt
The Whirlwinds arrived to transport her down from the sky.
Pierced by visions
Bright Star and
Great Star;
A Star fell to
Break the Teeth.
Spill blood to
feed the seeds.
Sacrifice them.
Morning Star to
Evening Star.
Pierce the heart.
From our enemies,
We took you as captive.
You've lived comfortably with us so far.
To nourish the seeds
Stars must be appeased by
Your ritually sacrificed heart.
It's been five days of
Preparations.
Purified;
Transformation.
Cosmic function.
Bundles laid (out)
According to the
Four Directions.
Ancestral
Medicine
Gifted to us.
Realign
These currents
Put in motion.
We lead you
(To the) scaffolding
You are now the Evening Star
Pierced by the Morning
Blood is flowing
Sacred Corn is growing.
Blood, dirt, and food bounty
Raised from this blood chutney

Regime Change
03:59
|

Running as far as my feet (can)
Function. My form is dead meat.
Lusting for order and strength, (but)
Nothing is served on this plate
(of decay)
Spectres are voicing my fears
(in) language unspoken for years.
Razors are flaying my skin
Peeling, discarding all, again.
No one's at home right now
Vacancy of the front seat
Abandonment of autonomy
Horrified beyond belief
Who am I? Am I still me?
Substrates and roots; they suffocate
Pulling me under, toward decay
Overthrown, a coup of pain
Regimes fall, and regimes change.
Tendrils are threading my flesh
Stitching together this mess
Fruiting bodies impaling me
Spores are bursting, with hosts to seek.

What's this shit?
I cannot believe
How you have
the audacity!
Sneering at
the irony
Of how you preach
To me of peace.
This path I took
to get revenge.
Your soldiers killed
my parents and friends.
The hatred builds
and burns inside
When I mourn
the ones who died.
When I was born
My eyes foretold
That we'd escape
From hatred's hold.
But hope was
Shattered
That fucking day.
Parents murdered
While I escaped.
Scraping by;
Orphan of war.
I won't be afraid
Anymore.
The oligarchs
Will feel my wrath.
I split my pain
Into six paths.
The corpses of
The ones I love
Fit my spirit
just like a glove.
Each one kills;
Weapons of war.
Each one honed
To settle the score.
I hold control
of the King of Hell
Life and Death
Are mine as well.
I feed upon
The fear you know
As I consume
Your fucking soul.
The Animal is invoking the beasts
The Warrior holds a secret technique
The Hungry Ghost devours your endeavors.
Divine gravity crushes with pressure.
This isn't petty revenge, it's fucking justice to me.
Stuck in the cycle of hate, perpetuate the killing.
The Incarnation of Devastation.
The execution of retribution.
This isn't petty revenge, it's fucking justice to me.
Stuck in the cycle of hate, perpetuate the killing.
Here you stand
In front of me
We stand apart
As enemies.
We've both endured
The loss and pain.
Back and forth.
A repugnant game.
You make the claim (that)
You'll break the wheel.
And eat the hate,
So we can heal.
But this went on
For centuries.
Blood soaked hands
And memories.
The pain of loss
Brought by death.
Hatred seethes and
Fuels vengeance.
Corpses pile
Blood is sprayed.
There is no peace.
(where) revenge decays.
