The Avaricious One

Removed from the soul,
To make a perfect being,
Paid the gatekeepers toll,
A future worth seeing,
One amongst the seven,
Is this where I belong?
Our goal to reach heaven,
But is our vision wrong?
Dead I find my own way,
Gone against my father,
For my greed I will pay,
Why do humans bother?
Find the avaricious one,
The most suspicious son,
Greed,
Greed is,
Greed is his name!
He's the ambitious lord,
A human malicious sword,
Greed,
Greed is,
Greed is his name!
A body of desire,
To gain my every need,
My fleshly wants are dire,
The world I seek to lead,
Working now, two as one,
Beaten at my own game,
No more time left to run,
No more human or tame,
This is what I longed for,
All seven now surface,
As I stand at death's door,
Life never had a purpose,
All life is greed, Good and evil,
Are your wants just, Or are they foul,
I'm the villain, You play hero,
Greed is nature, All or zero!
Find the avaricious one,
He's the most suspicious son,

A day like any other,
One more without my brother,
Sun was shining bright outside,
Flowers blooming up with pride,
Thinking ‘bout the trouble you caused,
How you did it time you paused,
Nice of you to show your face,
Kids like you should be burning in hell!
Tasked to guard against time,
Fix all the fractured parts,
Stop all the reset hearts,
This is your final crime,
You've reached this violent peak,
Myth sent the angel fair,
In you live demon snare,
No more this vision seek.
All this time I've been lazy,
That stops now cause you're crazy,
Who knew I'm good at my job,
Time and life no more to rob,
No matter how hard you try,
I will make sure that you die,
Here and now right where you stand,
Should not have come to this land,
Time like fingers on and on,
Keep this up I start to yawn,
But you're a freak make me sick,
You can't beat me just that quick,
Stuck here now on this treadmill,
Fun's over its all downhill,
Try to spare me it's too late,
I'll kill you now, meet your fate!

Trance

Follow the light, don't take your eyes off for a moment,
You'll be alright, through greener pastures you'll be roaming,
You shall arise, fully awake but in submission,
Your spirit cries, to understand the apparition,
Arise,
Your passive dreams fade right before your eyes,
Awaken to the truth you realize,
Something in your mind just isn't right,
I'm beckoned from all sides,
Their arms are open wide,
I feel the sleepless fires burn,
Your offer I forsake it,
Your hand should I but take it,
If I can leave, can I return?
This house of dreams is all but haunted,
A clearer visions all I wanted,
Your spellbound song is all you gave me,
You can entrance but can't enslave me,
Inhale, I will, run, with rolling thunder,
Exhale, I will, not, be torn asunder,
You wait, for me, on, the path not taken,
Shall be, finally, where, we will awaken,
In this I find no peace,
Your grip will not release,
No rest or perfect balance grants,
No loyal dedication,
A breath for meditation,
Shall keep me in this fateful trance.

Circus

Conquest rides from above,
Clearing a path for war,
Fire swallows the dove,
Wait for the naked whore,
Feed the parasite host,
With darkness comes the night,
The Pale light claims my ghost,
Dead armies wait to fight,
Arrows tear down the sky,
The weak are forced aside,
Sword piles the bodies high,
You cannot run or hide,
No justice at this place,
The scales have lost their weight,
Scythe ends the chaos race,
The horsemen bring our fate,
Control the human race,
Slaying all of our foes,
In war death we must face,
The end everyone knows,
Run and forever rot,
Find the death that is sought,
And survive this circus!
The midway of the dead,
play these deadly games,
you play to keep your heads,
to deaths list is more names,
That’s all that’s in this life,
struggle with the devil,
what’s the gain for this strife,
part of this sick revel,
Conquest has brought the war,
We've battled what for?
Lost in famine and death,
The end brought on by Seth,
Failure found now is true,
And the only thing we can do...
is survive this circus!
All that, there is,
is this, sick game,

The Minotaur
07:00

The corridors stretching out-
-out, to an ashen infinity
Down that twisted stair
past… the depths
Nameless, ever changing void
Abyss is down the hall
What does the house contain?
The hunt… is on
Behold this man’s desire
To conquer
To own
Yet nothing do they find
Room
After room
His mind is failing fast I can see it in his eyes
This myth has taken from him more than we surmise
We’ll be fine if we keep going
Defeat is only in admitting it
These clawing walls won’t tear us down
Emptiness incarnate
A shifting maze, around each corner
We’ll push forward to the infinite
Shoot first ask questions later
The Minotaur
The walls are endlessly bare
They are without texture
You will never find a mark there
The walls obliterate everything
They are permanently absolved of all record.
Behold the perfect pantheon of absence.
Abandon the fools
Now alone
in the dark
All thoughts gone
From this blackened
mind
Starving now, deep the labyrinth
Clawing walls tear me down
A fleeting glimpse, a row of doors
A bullet for the beast
Shot into the innocent
No time spared to mourn
His gasping breath, leave him behind
My short life doomed to hunt
The Minotaur
