Riotous deadly strife
Orphans escaping from inevitable pain.
Young stray souls
Forced to roam in a blackened world.
Greed for power was sown
Growing malice by time.
Hatred shall be freed
Only carnage to reap.
Fleeing from the strafe
With fear my life I grasp
Forced to survive
A pact with the spirits I have done.
Ritual on the mountain crest
I can hear the shaman’s chant
With time I fell into trance
From the dead I shall rise.
Blessed and cleansed you are
In the smoke your revenge you will find
Do not vex the spirits
Or vengeance they will seek.
Now that you’ve all reborned
Invincible to the enemy you will be
The young the powerful you are
Only the dead can talk about peace.
War has brought us together
Imminence the shaman has foreseen
Our people blood has flown for years
Downtrodden they will be.
Chorus:
It’s yours, Seize it
The awakening of a sleeping beast
We will spare nobody
It’s time for them to bleed.
Sullen vessel of death
Wanders in a river of blood
Wittingly slithers in pain
As it delivers a belligerent revere.
Fleeing from the strafe
With fear my life I grasp
Forced to survive
A pact with the spirits I have done.
Chorus:
Overwhelmed by fear
The lamb became a beast
No nation, no life, keeping the pace of war
Hated by God. Doomed to kill.

You are the dead

You are the dead
Said an iron voice behind them.
They sprang apart
Entrails Seemed to have turned into ice.
Remain where you are
They stood gazing into one another’s eyes.
To run for life before it was too late
No such thought occurred to them.
There was a snap
And a crash of breaking glass.
The picture had fallen to the floor
Uncovering a telescreen on the wall.
Now they can see us
We may as well say good-bye.
Here comes a candle to light you to bed
Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.
By acts of rebellion they had been captured
Separated from one another, now he is stranded.
Isolated, starved and tortured
Stranded in the place where is no darkness.
Craving for food, their orders he heeds
Lost is the notion of time, mercy he pleads.
Totalitarian aspects of a dystopic future life
Authoritarian ways to kill the speech.
Constant warfare, human equality won’t be done
Seizure of power, oppression they wield.
To control every aspect of life
Total power over people’s minds.
Bare to the eyes of INGSOC
Big Brother is watching you.
Blinded by shadows
Chained to the allegory of the cave.
Freedom they won’t follow
Frightened to escape.
Other perspective they won’t believe
Far beyond the shadows they can’t see.
Down with Big Brother!
In front a wall of blackness
He is scared to see the other side.
Something too dreadful to be faced
It is held, hidden from light.
When the slanting rays of the sun gilded the ground
He could feel the sunshine on his face
In the ragged hedge of the field the elm trees were swaying in the breeze
A landscape he recurred often in his dreams.
Suddenly with a shock of horror he woke up
He was breaking the agreement he had made with them
He had heard himself cry aloud
Thoughts of deceiving he had confessed.
Do you remember the panic in your dreams?
The wall of blackness and the roaring sound in your ears.
You knew what it was
There were rats on the other side of the wall.
Outbursts of squeals coming from a wire cage
Strapped to a chair, rats will eat your face
He was falling backwards
Into enormous depths
Away from rats
Away from pain.
Heresy erased
Devotion for a perfect brain
Empty and hollow inside
The realm of no form, no fact.
Tears were falling down
The struggle had finished
Tears of joy
The victory over himself
He had finally won.
He loved Big Brother.

The falling of dusk
08:59
|
|||
Hard cold wind blows with the falling of dusk
Rotting death stench shrouds the way.
Wide green field a community prays for dawn
Fear grows with nightfall glare as they behold the advent.
Dark it is but the owl won’t fly tonight
Weeping and gnashing of teeth
Black glowing sun the prophecy is fulfilled.
Now I cry to the moon
I will miss your light
Eyes glaring at the sky.
Is there something we haven’t seen?
Haven’t we paid enough?
What legacy do we leave?
Weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Captive wretches stilled by the raging will of the tempest
As terror thrives eerie sullen creatures mercilessly hunt
What God has joined together asunder it will be for ever
The remnants freeborn of wild mourn for freedom as they ward off the light.
Through their souls, I can feel
Aimless void, hatred within.
Through our eyes, they have seen
Septic minds, they’ll fulfill.
Chorus:
Survivors of wrecks, scathed by time
Longing for death, wounded inside.
Dark fallen angels, evil pervades
Intelligence of ages, summoners of pain.
The darkest times, We transit
In cages, We will live.
Cramped inside, We can’t breathe
Inner strife, broaden rift.
Out of frame, out of light
Lost in time, We start to fade.
Master minds, experiments
With suffer, they create.
Boiled alive, flayed with pain
And suffocated we will die.
Cursed for life, overwhelmed
Blinded eyes, deep domain.
Images that disturb
Boiling
Images that disrupt
Skinning.
Images that disturb
Boiling
Images that disrupt
Skinning.
From the ancient times
Flickering memories in my head
The Gods in my mind
And the word freedom I ought to forget.
My lungs now feel the ache
From the infected leaks in the air
Breathing putrid darkness of decay.
No life left in my soul
No soul left in my body
Only empty holes that it tried to fill long ago.
My eyes were gouged out
And my flayed body is still alive
My tong was ripped off
And my ears heard me cry.
Images that disturb
Boiling
Images that disrupt
Skinning.
