In the mind, reflection lives In the mind, reflection dies The words are unspoken Yet the voice is heard Incantation of magic The undying thirst Seeking a Vessel To contain this evil The harbinger of a turned soul Reflects a twisted notion of nothingness The fiery waters of Acheron beckon In their dark splendour in the night The surface of the mirror shimmers On its face a demonic grin appears The Infernal river, Charon’s domain Reduced to ashes, the wicked and the sane The visage, now turning into a humanoid shape Turning the illusion into an effigy Incantation of spite Invoking the realms of chaos For in denial, lies his crown The mirror fades Shades dissipate Thoughts are swayed Thoughts are swayed Ancient philosophies in the ground Unearthed by linguistics of the profound

Prometheus 05:04
The deed is punished Forever chained to stone For upholding value Above gods alone I want,  to construct a pyre I want,  to burn effigies I want, to create a fire I want, to engulf the stars Engulf the stars Pacing through the pale earth Pacing through the grinding ice There stands a lone tree Its branches reaching out to me Consumed, by the flame of his own Hatred, and the undying flame Worship, the path that must be taken Worship, rotting deficiency Curse the name thrice Upon this burial mound Hallowed and sacred ground Stories unfolding in rhyme Haunting echoes throughout time Pyre Pyre Pyre Pyre

Behold the Skygazer The one who yearns for the heavens Yet is tethered to the earth below Light blinding us Heart bleeding us Dust choking us Behold the Skygazer A spectral being shrouded by the fog of time Denouncing the ways of the corruptive Mankind never hears his chime Patiently waiting for the outcome Of ways of poison and greed His stands forever alone in his silence In the sky find the answers Light blinding us Heart Bleeding us Dust choking us In the realm of nothingness His patience remains an unanswered virtue His stands forever alone in his silence Mankind never fears his chime And they ache in their sorrow In the end, all creatures of the earth Are delivered unto a barren space The sky omitted the answers Succumbs to the earth Succumbs to the earth Behold the Skygazer Behold the Skygazer Behold the Skygazer Behold the Skygazer

Patron of the bearing Servant of the wind Embracing pseudo-science Instilling greed within Read the lines that you’ve written Faced with words no longer your own Indoctrination is complete The fear to become obsolete Your eyes seem open but your vision is cloaked They will not mourn for your death once you have been provoked. Our eyes are open but your truth remains obscured In the epilogue of your life, no miracle has occurred Speak the words, fed by the superior, you envision to be true. Follower of the trend, the cross you defend, blinks away the truth Your eyes seem open but your vision is cloaked They will not mourn for your death once you have been provoked. Our eyes are open but your truth remains obscured In the epilogue of your life no miracle has occurred The surface of your digital slab truly poison the mind Replaces that what you once knew to be true, with lies To live a life full of choices you, forced upon yourself No room for defeated runts, no room for defeatist cunts Patron of the bearing Servant of the Earth Embracing all maladies A mental stillbirth Your eyes seem open but your vision is cloaked They will not mourn for your death once you have been provoked. Our eyes are open but your truth remains obscured In the epilogue of your life no miracle has occurred

about

SPIRIT CORRUPT deals with the way mankind abusively views and uses the earth to their own accord. Lyrical themes include the undeniable influence of science, religion, misinformation and darkness on our psyche and the path leading into the human spirit. Expect a musical journey that takes you near the ruins of humanity and drives madness into the heart of the forest of the soul.
