Corrosive
04:35
|
|||
Another day of drowning
In this acidic state
A simulated poison to
Appease the gods of fate
The dermal demise
That feeds the influence beneath
The creatures lie in wait
To begin the forsaken feast
They drag you down until you find hell
And crack you out of your perfect shell
Irradiate and assimilate
This corrosion is a solvent to stray
Disorganized absolutes exacerbate the issue
Dialogue with the capacity for misuse
The hollow lung is marred with repetition
The evil in the air is prepared to make incision
Draining everything from the tarsal to the skull
Obliterating memory, extinguishing the soul
While we’re on the subject of eliminating mind waste
Pierce your limbic system to neglect the bitter aftertaste
This creature takes the entrails
And leaves a void
To the otherworld you go
With all its servants employed

Levitator

|

A demon built of soulless virtue
Seeks entry into our plane
Its indoctrination should concern you
As it only yearns to feign
Manic scenes and vapid dreams
Will catapult distortions
This world will bleed through
As it sits somewhere
On its throne thriving in its misery
You feed the empty too
As this creature feeds off your mind
It summons you into its sky
The emptiness around prolonging
In a horrible place to die
(It waits) Consumes the oddity within
(It grows) As it tears the bone from skin
(It kills) With the evil it transmits
(It knows) You’re never gonna live through it
The light goes out forevermore

The Entity Beyond
04:15
|
|||
Do you ever feel like death
(The universe to blame)
Distraught at what’s coming next
(Too bad it knows your name)
What’s it going to break out this time?
Disaster hides at the fault line
Skeletonized
With blood in its eyes
Distorting the bones
Contortionist’s show
A horror from hell
A new tale to tell
It darkens the dawn
It feeds off its pawns
Do you wish to face
The entity beyond
This cosmic being deprives
(Everyone of their luck)
And spreads a wall of lies
(Altered Paradox sucks)
If you ever feel existence is pain
It’s this creature that thrives in your disdain

Doxyldrium
05:01
|
|||
Descended from the astral
In a violent wave
Searching for a victim to
Affect and deprave
Ignore the reality
As you slowly weep
Take another dose and drift
Further into sleep
This dreamscape is Hell
Dead inside your cell
Watch the entity
Rip the soul from self
Malformation of the mind
Desecrates the will
Symptom of paralysis
Leaves you lying still
Mindless of the imagery
The scar is running deep
Take another dose and drift
Further into sleep
You have been deceived and misled
Such a promise, you’re dying instead
Becoming nothing once again
Realize the truth of the end

Paroxysmal
03:11
|
|||
You aim to quell implosion
This is what it breeds
Swelling in distention
As you set the monster free
Bloodied is the targeted
And bloodied is the floor
Anger the inner demon
And now it’s wanting more
It will kill you
|

Haze
04:56
|
|||
Clouded minds fall to abyss
Victims of the serpent’s kiss
The agony is overwhelming
From the mystery foreboding
Fear bleeds you dry
Until the end of time
Overrun with hazy visions
Butchering clairvoyant wisdom
This is nothing this world could foresee
A bitter end that starts with screams
Clouded minds rest in abyss
Defiled by the thoughts that stick
Everything you know lies in ruin
Everything is your undoing

V.O.A.
04:06
|
|||
Save your thoughts
For reality unwinding
Save your concepts
For denying the truth impending
Save your dreams
For a world burning out of meaning
Turn to dust
Can’t outrun the mindset
That gathers the doubt
Victim of abstraction
Erase the soul
That binds you to eternal mourning
Drain the heart
That instills all your thoughts discordant

Silent Horror
04:12
|
|||
Dramatist dramatics
Symptom of your immorale
A mist consumes the sanctum
Where you pocket rationale
Amygdalian reaction
Severs the synapse
Discontent in disarray
Too much under wraps
Creation breeds destruction
Destruction breeds disorient
And all falls silent
You manufacture demons to run your life
A silent horror in the world
You fail to justify
This silent horror in the world
Simulated imagery
In the confines of your mind
Signals the monstrosity
To seep into your life
It grows as the world darkens
Further into sorrow
Just continue running scared
Dreading your tomorrow

The Aether
09:06
|
|||
Come down from the sky
An evil to be unmasked
Swaying its disaster complex
As it has done in the past
All your scheming
Turns to screaming
You’ve conceived your own demise
Constant trepidation
Forced the incarnation
You see before your eyes
You made this creature
Now all looks bleaker
Chaos in its appetite
And not a soul is sane
Humoring the afterworld
While dying on this plane
You made this creature
Spawn from the aether
As it strives to destroy
Until all is at end
It calls upon the otherworldly
Demons to descend

Altered Paradox Cleveland, Ohio
An abandoned waste barrel of screechy whispered commentary and yowled “what the fuck-isms.”
Heavy and trippy. It all gets weird.
