1. TERMINATING SYNTHESIS

A man, disfigured by science
His skin, charred and corpse-like
Severed from the world he knew
He sees through a spectrum of rage

Flesh turned to liquid
He seeks vengeance through science
Synthetic flesh replaces his own
His purpose s the exact revenge

Tracking them one by one
His anger knows no bounds
Looking for the one at the top
Murdering them slowly to even the score

Criminal Syndicate, a plot for control
All of it, worthless to him
So much for him to reclaim
Ninety minutes for each mask he creates

Now, the carnage unfolds
Posing as his victims, identity stole
Replacing them for only a short time
Destroying their lives, ensuring their demise

The first one, a mobster who tied him up
Catching him in an alley, he corners him
(Then proceeds to mutilate and masticate)

First name on the list, terminated
unabated, skinless killer
victim's last sight, one of pure nightmare

Second target now in his sights
The man flees for his life, so he hunts on
No sensory information for him to feel
Synthetic skin knows no pain

Only one essential organ, his brain

No escape for his prey, his skin flayed, deranged
Revenge exacted

Now the carnage unfolds, posing as his victims, identity stole
Replacing them for only a short time
Destroying their lives, ensuring their demise

Third target: the scientist who set him up
He retakes his vengeance with all remorse gone
Taking him at home, no one hears his cries
Moving down the list he ensures each demise!

No sensory information for him to feel
Synthetic skin knows no pain
Taking them one by one
Only one essential organ, his brain

A man, disfigured by science
His skin, charred and corpse-like
Severed from the world he knew
He sees through a spectrum of rage

Flesh turned to liquid
He seeks vengeance through science
Synthetic flesh replaces his own
His purpose s the exact revenge

Tracking them one by one
His anger knows no bounds
Looking for the one at the top
Murdering them slowly to even the score

Now, the carnage unfolds
Posing as his victims, identity stole
Replacing them for only a short time
Destroying their lives, ensuring their demise

Finally he faces the one who ruined his life
The coward tries to run, there's nowhere to hide
he strikes him down his mask dissipating
Further destruction is awaiting!


2. THE RAPTURE OF EIDOLON

By a route obscure and lonely, haunted by ill angels only,
Where and Eidolon, named night, on a black throne reigns upright
I have reached these lands but newly from and ultimate dim Thule

From a wild clime that lieth, sublime, Out of Space - out of time
From a wild clime that lieth, sublime, Out of Space - out of time

Bottomless vales and boundless floods, and chasms, and caves, Titan woods
With forms that no man can discover, for the tears that drip all over

Mountains toppling evermore, into seas without a shore
Seas that restlessly aspire, surging unto skies of fire

Lakes that endlessly outspread, their lone waters, lone and dead
Their still waters - still and chilly, with the snows of the lolling lily

By the dismal tarns and pools, where dwells the Ghouls,
By each spot the most unholy - in each nook most melancholy -
There the traveler meets aghast, sheeted memories of the past -
Shrouded forms that start and sigh, as they pass the wanderers by

White-robed forms of friends long given, In agony to the Earth and Heaven

For heart whose woes are legion, 'Tis a peaceful, soothing region

For the spirit that walks in shadow, but the traveler, traveling through it
May not, dare not, openly view it! Never its mysteries are exposed

So wills its King, who hath forbid, the uplifting of the fringed lid;
And thus the sad Soul that here passes,
beholds it but through darkened glasses


3. PROVOCATION OF DEATH

Drifting through space, no signs of life, light years away alone in the void

The shuttle approaches on a comet, in a constellation uncharted
Hurtling through empty space the comet's trail dissipates
Magnetic fields disrupted, communication disconnected
As they gaze upon the stars, unblinking eyes watch their light

Intently they wait, Unaware, the prey, racing to their fate

Something wrong, the scanner cries, paralyzed their feeble minds
Of all thought they're hypnotized, trance imposed, soon will die

"Comet's interior, we must inspect!" the captain demands, none object
Into space they eject, spacemen floating to their deaths

Hidden voices calling them from the shadows, sharp teeth grin
Inside the asteroid, unseen eyes, waiting until the time is right

In silent space, the humans fly, discovery made, alien design
All things frozen, crystallized, it's a tomb the humans find

Now the shuttle returns, back in the earths orbit, but no crew aboard
the only found, a woman preserved, back to the planet to be observed

in a top-secret lab the body is stored to be dissected
As the scientists picks up his scalpel the impostor opens its eyes, awakened

Sucking from the life of the unlucky scientists, the creatures strength is returned
taking from him his very soul and absorbed, the alien vampire is restored!

A terror unspeakable by name, in days spreading across the globe

The conquest of planets, no feat, for our new masters, we're just something to eat!


4. INFINITE VOID

Into infinity, a black holes divinity, unending density holds the answers to eternity

Vacuum: Perfect, bottomless, all consuming

Gravitational pull, the stars core implodes,
All light consumed, nothingness sewn

All life as we know it, lost to the void
Matter inversed, galaxies destroyed

Symmetry: Limitless, cosmic spiral, without end

Super-temporal, perpetual, supreme, eternal

All forms of life around us devolve to nothingness
dematerialized matter and space measureless

The answers to our questions lie in the abyss
Searching forever, incessant

Light abounds through the galaxy, both time and space
Reaching eternally never erased
Dimensions fold, perceptions changed, the matter transforms
of our conception, much to be learned

Awakening inter-dimensional beings
Unable to perceive what we cannot see
Exhaustible; Incalculable power

Dimensions transform, looping through one-another
Black hole decimates all it surrounds
Always consuming abysmal creation
Omnipresent pervasion abounds

Limited mind; invert he plane of reality
Tractable existence, what we comprehend

Inside the void, the antithesis of life

Compendious scheme, all inclusive design
universes entwined, realities combine

Unravelling it all, devouring, depleting space
Matter imbibed, destroying the univers

Exterminate, obliterate, extirpate, invalidate

The void multiplies, rescinding all that it finds
Abating time, aggregation annul

Negation, repudiation, vitiation, eradication

Inside the abyss, everything and nothing exists at the same time, theoretical mass

God-like, all-knowing, all-seeing, almighty abyss

All forms of life around us devolve to nothingness,
dematerialized matter and space measureless

The answers to our questions lie in the abyss
Searching forever, incessant

Light abounds through the galaxy, both time and space
Reaching eternity, never erased
Dimensions fold, perception changed
matter transforms, of our conception, much to be learned

in a millisecond, time's frozen, Earth not to be seen again
Never truly dying, life is absorbed, void stretches outward, engulfing all

Forever consuming outward, deleting creation in every form
universal implosion, galaxies corrosion
The void, unyielding, will someday be whole
