1.
Return to sleep, caress the night endlessly, Indulge in the halted flow of entropy.. A dream's allure, captivates the weak yet pure.. Frozen sleep, a prison of serenity.. Momentary sight, reveals a painful reality.. Motionless retreat, back into a life of banality.. Return to the womb, Drink the distorting elixirs, Breathe the air, pure yet poisoned, Never leave these walls.. Addicted to despair
2.
Barely coherent, drowning in the dark, Reassemble shards of hope and let them fall apart, The wind was howling since the very start, The ice is growing thick within your heart.. Stranded on a sea of helplesness, Life was not a choice but death is too unclear, Lost in grip of the jaws of winter, Keep withdrawing inward to escape external fear.. From far and removed I watched, As my own flesh was left to rot, Determined to forget, How by all they were forgot.. Cursed by a fear of death, And an inability to exist, This is why we..we drink to forget.. Take your thousandth step into the night, Nightmarish balance between death and life, Taking refuge in your precious shelter, A shrinking world in which you hide, Eyes turn away from what's too painful to see, Forcing out my hand while resenting every plea.. In fear of your funeral, No god above to save your soul, Nowhere left for you to stay, And I can't save you from the grave, Following those who came before, You're rotting from the inside out.. Far you have fell and far you have come, To stand atop the wreckage and shame, You awoke atop and not inside the grave, But the wind still howls and the dark whispers your name...
3.
The road is laid before you, There's no turning back, Intolerant of mortality, Accept your spirit's final task.. Now your eyes are open, right before they close, Reduced to the elementals..mind body and soul.. Why can't you speak? Can you hear me? Where have you gone? I'm never leaving... Those of us who still remain, we grieve the path your on, And the physical illusion, which our tears fall upon.. Beating hearts pierced by the threat of loss, In the dark your voice will now remain, I'll spread your ashes..throughout the world There is no seperation..from this life or from the next, On this side of the curtain, innocent but vain we forget, Sperated from the eternal, you resist but fail, To grasp the hardest truth and let them pass deeper beyond the veil.. Reaching..for the infinite.. Grasping..it's indifference.. Finding only..Mortal intolerance..

about

When trying to figure out whether to keep writing about accepted black metal topics such as nature and Satan...I decided to take the advice of 'write what you know' and wrote an EP about substance abuse, alcoholism and death.
