It is a three letter word to disguise the lie. Truth of the matter is we don't have a fucking clue. Poems of the dead, I don’t understand. When they haunt me, They speak in tongues. But in their words, I sense beauty. I am just the messenger. Passing along their screams. I know only my part, With hopes of seeing, the bigger picture. Come to fruition, before my eyes. Searing pain, Blinding light, Black out. I awake, I arise, In the chambers of space. Such a vivid display. Rendered across the cosmos. I have become a god, risen from the likes of man. I did not choose this path, the throne was thrust upon me. The dead don’t die, The dead rise. They have chosen me, As their master. Now I speak poems of the dead. I have found my grave Empty it remains. Eternal I shall reign. Now I scream poems of the dead.

Galaxies away the planets align. Everything you know will soon be lost. One day the sky will disappear, swallowed by an unholy abyss. The seas will split open, tearing the world asunder. Awaken, My master. Your servant calls upon you. Born of darkness, I bear your mark. I bear the will to serve. I bow down to you. My life is worthless, lest I’m serving you. Worthless. I look into the eyes of a god and weep with joy. Cleansing the earth, claiming his throne. He lets me share the blood on his hands. Together we will usher in a new era. Devoid of human life. Lights dance across the sky, Shimmering souls burn bright. A beautiful incarnation of our darkest fears.

When I’m at my weakest, He comes to me. Offering his had, Helping me to my feet. He seamed so wise, Both noble and kind. But deep inside, The truth he hides. Oh god, I did it again. Fallen under his spell. Unknowingly seduced once more. A stranger in the dark, Welcoming but familiar. Lightning the road ahead, With promises of safety. Leading the way, Guiding my stride. On our journey, We did embark. Oh god, I did it again. How am I so blind? Time and time again. The air suddenly changed, It all felt wrong. The look in his eyes, The grin on his face. It all became so clear, As my ignorance shattered. Falling to my knees, Crying out in vain. Oh god, I did it again. Why cant I free myself? From this perpetual cycle. Oh god, I did it again. What must I do? How can I resist? Close your eyes to the truth, So you can see through the veil of lies. For without the gift of sight, You will get nowhere in this life. Not all is what it seams, These lies permeate your reality. Perseverance is key, You must strengthen your will. Only then will you succeed, But the fight will never cease.

Scratch out the eyes, You cant erase the truth. As you stare into, This portrait of innocence. Deafen the ears, You cant stop my voice. Sew shut the lips, The whore speaks in lies. The mad man hides, Behind his canvas. As he bears his soul, Painting an open window, Into a tormented mind. For all to see in perfect clarity, Yet still few will understand. Horrific visions of the future. Mockingly mimic our reality. A disease that transcends time, Plaguing past, present, future. We cannot escape this, It lives within us all. This portrait of innocence, I find it fucking disgusting. Scratch out the eyes. Deafen the ears. Sew shut the lips. Slit the throat, and let it bleed out. Nothing alive is innocent. Bleed it out. Nothing alive is innocent. Bleed it out. Nothing alive is innocent.

We will find you, You will all die. You live your life behind these walls. You think your safe, Make no mistake. Pack your bags Your lucky I let you stay alive this long. I told you once and ill tell you again,This world is mine. Its time to say your prayers And make you peace with god. So ill ask you one more time, Do you have any last words? This world is mine. Mine. Cut the throat of a swine. Say a prayer and say goodbye. Now you’ll pay me back with your miserable life. Pay me back. Your miserable life. If you try to run, You I will find I am the reaper, Your life is mine. You shall burn. Now its time for you to meet your maker. Its time. Meet your maker.

You never though of this. I'm trying to create my own existence, But I can't escape this wretched place. Surrounded by the ignorant populace, Within which I am alone. The moment I break out of your pesky norms, I am drowned in your hate and scorn. Drowned in your hate and scorn. So I hide underneath a guise, As a faceless one, only a glimmmer of existence. The world is dead to me, But this earth wont let me die. Trapped on this forsaken rock, I’m the virus that plagues humanity. Frozen in space, but burning through time, On a planet you call yours, in a universe that’s mine. Those worlds that grant me passage, Will remain unscathed another day. But for those which drag me down, With their greed and malice. To them I shall return in kind, With the force of what they call god. The world is dead to me, But this earth wont let me die. Trapped on this forsaken rock, I’m the virus that plagues humanity. I will kill. To set myself free. You will die. It means nothing to me. Earth must burn. So I can travel on. I will destroy, I will erase. Obliterate this worthless place. My actions will become visible to all, Those with omnipotence will see the beauty, The rest will whimper in horror and fear. As I take your petty world into my grip, I begin to clench, and suck the life away. When I’m done I will have reclaimed my place, Tossing the husk of your world aside. I move forward without a second glance.
