1. OCULUS

Of all diabolical sights
The Fiend entices the eye the most.

No mortal over whom It's sight has swept
Shall be seen as he once was,
Like I haven't viewed them the same way
Ever since the night I gazed upon
It's horrific beauty.

Of all diabolical sights
The Fiend entices the eye the most.

Mankind's palpitating souls sicken me.
Their faces shall become swathed in blood
As I gaze upon them,
And through my moldering eyes
Their beauty shall come to a withering end.

Carve your tombstones,
Wrap yourselves up in shrouds,
I've come to paint the town red.

Seek me out in every glare.
Turn a stone and I am there.
Smoldering embers mark my path,
Glimpses of my indignation.

My obscure demeanor
Is something to take delight in,
For the moment you lay your eyes on me
You'll gaze in the eye of a fiend.

My cornucopia spills pandemonium and disharmony,
Blades and spikes chime my symphony.

Seek me out in every glare.
Turn a stone and I am there.
Smoldering embers mark my path,
Glimpses of my indignation.

My obscure demeanor
Is something to take delight in,
For the moment you lay your eyes on me
You'll gaze in the eye of a fiend.


2. FEVERMIST

My mind slips deeper into the darkness,
The flame of my consciousness smothers.
A numbing feeling creeps over my body,
Gnawing at my sanity.

I try to escape from the diseased images,
But there's no escaping one's own mind.
Hammering pain rushes through my veins
And strikes me down with its fury.

I gasp for air, but it only
Feeds the fire in my lungs.
I scream out into the void.

Clawing at the ground beneath me
I try to hide from this insanity.

Through my tears I see
Everything distorted and dying.
Moldy leaves land on my mutilated hands
And this bleak reality
Tightens its hold on me,
Offering no comfort, only fear.

Inch by inch I wedge my way through the cutting rocks.
The smell of my flesh burning
And the taste of blood
Augment the sound of my bones breaking.

I reach a ledge and find
That serene, pellucid lake I've been yearning for.
Below it glimmers, beyond my reach, promising me comfort.
I take a leap and plunge into her deadly embrace.

Screaming, I wake up from this nightmare,
Only to realise it was all true.


3. DECISION

I pass the gates, forevermore
Free of pain and of torment.
Now, for the first time, I can see
The world clearly, cured of a poisoned mind.
Not one of them ever understood me,
No one even truly wanted to.

The cruelty of mankind is sickening.
Blood-thirsty vultures glide through the air,
Awaiting your collapse to get the chance
To reave the flesh of your corpse.

A comforting breath of the wind
Caresses me in the moonlight
As I walk firmly into the fondling darkness.

Briefly, I glance back to see the gates close.
I know I made the right decision.

There's nothing in this world I'd miss,
Nothing worth crying for.
Only pain remains in the past,
Scorched in my memories
(And buried within me).
The bitterness dies with the flesh,
Memories find their rest in grave

The cruelty of mankind is sickening.
Blood-thirsty vultures glide through the air,
Awaiting your collapse to get the chance
To reave the flesh of your corpse.

A comforting breath of the wind
Caresses me in the moonlight
As I walk firmly into the fondling darkness.

Briefly, I glance back to see the gates close.
I know I made the right decision.
