Dein Xceriis Jan 2012
There is no end in sight
This abstract human condition
Contest the mortal abscess
Devoured by deeds of contract

Lets sign our names away and contrast the numbers
In bulk we live this united dream
A mass of controlled withered flesh
Just a product of mass consumption

Within these temples are Gods
Towers amidst the city skies
Basking in the blood of labor
In the wake of progress, life’s sacrifice

Will the sea ever sway to violence?
Or will these limbs continue to serve?
Let’s carry on the voice of the futile
And be subdued in selfish feeding

A life of eternal shelter… A lesser-forgotten son
Wishes of those beloved… A shell buried within
When rain begins to fall… A silhouette will rise
Craving for sacred flesh… A song escapes its lips
A life of immoral sorrow… However the deception
Wishes of those betrayed… For nothing, nothing is sacred
Nothing within this husk… A failure in dreaming
Severed from this reality… A feeling of nothing more
Dein Xceriis Dec 2011
Disintegrate, into waking
This system, reveals itself
Slaves amongst, amongst their fetters
Distorted minds, are controlled

Seek release, release from what is
Lets have the truth, the truth instead
Born a canvas, painted with lies
This can’t be real, what is real?

Never met, this distorted image
It’s awkward, this vision - so different
Now as shade, as shade gives way…
Life’s guarantee, falls away
These are lyrics to a song I wrote for my band Flesh of the Earth

— The End —
