Beastward 05:03
I’ve lost my way, can’t find my path, Lost in a sea of loveless lust Of songs and voices calling out from every direction. Beastward to the end of the earth To the starless void deep in my heart To err is to animal, Wickedness is beastly not human Beastward, to the death of my soul What’s in the heart will reveal itself An animal within will Manifest now you have no hiding place to dwell Now dark forests become my abode Like a wolf I now dwell ravenous for blood One step Beastward, now I’m spiraling backwards One step forward, two steps back Where is the path? Where do I go when I have nowhere to run to? Wandering to and fro, searching for the next lamb to devour Turned and tossed by the wind like a wave in the sea So is a man who lives compulsively Like a vapor in the air, a cloud in the sky, He is here then gone How will you live your life? It’s a wretched existence, always hungry always feeding Gorging on the blood of innocents like a glutton Feeling emptier every moment. So is he who chases after vain and selfish things He is like one who chases the wind. The more you try to fill yourself, caring not who you harm, the greater the torment thou shalt bear. Will you be as he? Chasing after the wind Will you turn and flee? To the loving arms that are waiting? Harken my plea! Don’t do as me! Tis a long path back to true humanity Beastward to the end of the earth To the starless void deep in my heart To err is to animal, Wickedness is beastly not human Beastward, to the death of my soul What’s in the heart will reveal itself An animal within will Manifest now you have no hiding place to dwell Cease your wandering, dear aimless soul Without purpose, without a place to dwell Come and follow, to you I offer my home Enter in, eat and drink, you will no longer be empty Will you believe and enter into my rest Or will you be as they who hate me Teaching there is no purpose, no meaning Then marveling when rape, enslavement, and abuses do not cease. The highly esteemed are the greatest beasts, Moving ever Beastward, learning to hide their heart Some are harder to see than others But until you enter in, you are all beasts in rags Come to me, I’ll adorn you in blood Believe and be made white as snow

In shadows cast, a tormented soul I reveal the truth, my secrets untold Confessions of a darkling, stained and scarred A tale of lust, where demons spar Within these depths, my past resides I cannot hide, the darkness inside seen through my deceptive eyes. The sins I've committed, haunting my mind Confessions unfold, in verses unkind Of lust and rage I am guilty But these are just the few of many Lust, an insidious fire burning deep A hunger within, a soul's primal leap Eyes that wandered, desires unchained Fleeting pleasures sought, in shadows I remained Lies unending, my soul descending Tearing my flesh Asunder, the sirens are deafening In the sacred bonds of matrimony, I stand A devoted man, holding my lover's hand But in the shadows lurk desires untamed A battle within, where love and pleasure are maimed For she's a beacon, a light in my life Her love, a sanctuary in times of strife But in those darkest corners, a transformation starts A beast awakens, tearing me apart Confessions of a Darkling, tormented and torn Haunted by lust, my soul forlorn The sirens in my head, their voices so strong In this labyrinth of desire, I've struggled for too long Confessions of a Darkling, torn between two worlds My love for her, against desires that unfurl In the depths of longing, I lose myself completely Yearning for her touch, but driven by demons so beastly Confessions of a Darkling, I lay bare Lost in the abyss, drowning in despair Through the veils of darkness, I seek redemption In these confessions, a path to liberation In those forbidden corners, a temptress calls Whispering seduction, as darkness befalls I yearn for my wife, yet I'm lost in this haze A prisoner to lust's twisted maze The moments when shadows prevail A tempest of desire, a relentless gale Oh, the guilt that grips my heart, the shame I bear I know I must resist, for our love to repair But I'm fallen, with flaws that run deep Praying for strength, for these secrets no longer to keep Confessions of a Darkling, a soul divided in two One bound by love, the other seeking what's taboo In the depths of this struggle, I find solace in forgiveness embrace Holding on to redemption, by His grace Confessions of a darkling

Dark Realm 04:55
Welcome to a world where truth is hated, reality denied everything is fabricated, and nothing has any meaning, your only purpose, to serve the Dark lord Welcome to the Dark realm, a world akin to Mordor did you think were building a better world Where everyone can be what they want and live their own truth? Where traditions die, and the old is no longer sacred Burn it all to the ground and let the new age begin! Try to break the trend you’ll be burned at the stake Here, we love individuality but we’ll hate you if your not the same We hate the old cookie-cutter society So we made our own instead, we hate the old molds, so we made ourselves new ones If you don’t find one you fit in, uncreate yourself or you shall be disposed of! We are the city of anomalies now the city of regularity We take your children and make them our minions, for you’re not certified to teach them The devil needs more servants, and he can’t enslave the free thinkers. In this realm the hive looks out for itself, if you're not a part of it, then be damned to hell. Throw away your name, tear down all you know and be unmade, Recreate the same hate, you despise God for allowing Here fallacy reigns as our queen, for those who can’t think love her simple stupidity No logic nor reason, for we hung them for treason a Heresy of the highest degree, free-thinking! What did you think when you said truth is relative? Absolute morality is evil, for it sets a standard That we don’t want to follow Let a man do as he pleases; it’s better than religious conflict. Try to break the trend you’ll be burned at the stake Here, we love individuality but we’ll hate you if your not the same. We hate the old cookie cutter society So we made our own instead, we hate the old molds, so we made ourselves new ones Try to become a better and stronger person, how dare you do such a thing, here we hate self-improvement Here we esteem gluttons and child molestation Over heroes who gave everything for King and country What did you think years of lazing in the darkness would bring Welcome to the dark realm What did you think years of neglecting the teaching of truth would awaken? A second dark age! Throw away your name, tear down all you know and be unmade, Recreate the same hate, you despise God for allowing Welcome to the Dark Realm!

Forlorn 04:47
Forlorn A desolate soul grieving, facing continual transformation My world is shaking, let me not become the abomination Will my spirit break, will my heart divide I will fight as long as I draw breath, no failure too big, no victory certain Forlorn, lost amidst the tumult Torn, my flesh in constant revolt Against the new man Refusal to become a new creation A heart in continual upheaval When shall it in God’s commands revel? Freed from a just sentence With this gift will I now grow, Or rot and die slow? It’s never enough, A feast lies ahead Yet it continues to cut me open and feed Years of waiting and hoping Crying out to the heavens Faith is a belief strong enough to act Did I truly believe if my actions never reflect his promises? Sick and tired of feeling hopeless, Despairing of death, despairing of life A forlorn soul, lost in the sands of time This life is wretched and full of pain I feel so alone I am forlorn I am torn I am worn When will you end this war? Why am I self scorned? Why do I believe poisonous words? A dead shell without purpose, here then gone Like a cloud in the sky My world has lost grip of any meaning Everything defined by nothing Where’s my soul, lost or dead Woe to one with a broken spirit For none can bear it Death of soul, in a life with no calling Forlorn! Lost soul come back to me, There is one who gives this life meaning!

In this world of no man's land, I wander aimlessly, Where we can live our own truth, unless it opposes what’s trending Fallacious ideas cloud our minds, obscuring what is true, I'm just a young soul lost in a world that's so confused. Oh, this no man's land we call our home, Where nothing's set in stone, and we're all alone. I walk these streets, filled with uncertainty and doubt, Where truth and lies entwine, and shadows linger about. The boundaries have blurred, lines erased by doubt's cruel hand, Up is down, right is left, in this world everything is so backwards, the abolition of man! We’re all cannibals devouring eachother like animals No flags to raise, no borders to defend, Yet opposition arises from all directions, like whispers in the wind. The division is tearing me apart Brothers at each other's throat over trivial matters Agree to disagree and Grow up! Ere the fires of folly awaken a second dark age for our children! In no man’s land, it’s every man for himself Where we’re so desperate for connection, we’ll kill each other to get it! Where does my help come from in this land of truths ever changing, lost in the ever shifting sands of man Lost in this no man’s land we’ve created How does one find ground to stand on in this world of sinking sand? Will I fall into nothingness as they tell me? No! I'll anchor myself in unchanging truth, For truth's not subjective, nor is it based on individual perception. Transcendental, it spans this world and beyond, While the world screams in hate, rejecting what's strong. They crave the subjective, rejecting all that's objective, Yet they drown in quicksand, missing what's corrective .But there's one solid ground they choose to ignore, A foundation to stand on, where they can be secure Where they are free to be who they truly are. Why do they resist their creator? . Call me a fool, call me close-minded, While your closed mind chases after something you refuse to receive. How long will you choose a heart of stone? Be wary for God will give it to you. Lost in the chaos of a dying world's strife, It's killing itself, consuming your life. Where will you stand when the ground starts to quake, As no man's land expands, your home is at stake? Don’t wait for the sands to shift, build your life on the rock of ages!

Of the darkest places i’ve been you are barely beneath the skin Now I take you down another level into the depths of the unman devil Lost in a dark time, drowning in desire, I invoked the shadows, an act so dire. The fires of lust now met darkness embodied Beautiful and terrible, The demon Lilith before me Succubus Seranade I brought a curse upon my own flesh, A deadly pestilence, a devil in my chest Lustful acts with a demon Was It real or was I dreaming? wicked acts, bridging gaps, now I’m left in bondage! Once desperate for connection, I now writhe in pain, Lilith's grip tightened, her dominance to gain. She took control, leading me to her den, Death never seemed so sweet, after that torment Her voice, once sweet, turned into a curse, Her serenade now a torment, my soul immersed. Used and abused, a vessel for her lust, I'm trapped in her web, committing acts that disgust Succubus serenade, her voice a haunting melody, Leading me to the depths of my own depravity. I fell under her spell, a slave to her desires, Bound by her darkness, consumed by unholy fires. Succubus Serenade, her voice a haunting melody Uniting flesh and darkness to spawn unholy offspring Enchanting Whispers, Desire burning like a raging fire Yearning for death to take me, Oh God hear your child’s plea My flesh a vessel of evil A temple for pagan ritual I sleep with Lilith in my bed Wed to death in my head Self slaying whatever good is left Desperately seeking, desperately cutting to sever the binding bridge that connects the world of spirits and living Succubus serenade, a song of binding chains The Lay of Lilith, A liturgy of pain Sever the bridge Break the chains She’s not in control Cast her out Her voice, once sweet, turned into a curse, Her serenade now a torment, my soul immersed. Used and abused, a vessel for her lust, I'm trapped in her web, committing acts that disgust Succubus serenade, her voice a haunting melody, Leading me to the depths of my own depravity. Succubus Serenade, her voice a haunting melody Uniting flesh and darkness to spawn unholy offspring

Here we go again the siren song that never ends I can’t sit alone nor idle for a second If I do she’ll get inside my head Doom scrolling on the internet, what am I doing? Can’t catch a break, can’t escape The Lay of Lilith! What will it take, how shall I slay this shadow song in me? Everywhere I go I can’t escape her song, How am I supposed to turn away, why do I even listen in the first place? Such enticing beauty, so constantly, so easy to find! It's a death trap, a detailed map to destruction quickly Can’t look away, when I hear her sing It’s like a blank slate ever swiping in my brain Wiping all memory except her beautiful song I can’t help myself when I hear that voice Calling out to me, the toxicity of the feeling She gives to me, oh the falsity “I want you, I need you, come to me and I’ll feed you love and never leave you wanting.” I’m so ashamed to reveal these things to you who are listening, from a young age these things found root in me! Even the great heroes of old, fell as one stupid, before false beauty No strength can resist, so how do I beat this? There is one who suffered through temptation He knows the weight of resisting such enticing falsity He’s heard the lay of Lilith and resisted Remove from me, desire for falsity Instill in me, a deep longing for real beauty I can’t help myself when I hear that voice Calling out to me, the toxicity of the feeling She gives to me, oh the falsity “I want you, I need you, come to me and I’ll feed you love and never leave you wanting.” I’m so ashamed to reveal these things to you who are listening, from a young age these things found root in me, but I shall seek to remove the weeds Uproot the evil! By my king's song, I shall drown out the Lay of Lilith

Rumors of a wretched beast! All you see is the beast in the cage you can’t see the man who’s drowning, drowning in the deep of a meaningless sea A century of blood and tears From the oceans and the rivers her song always finds my ears Radiant beauty on the outside, Ravenous banshee Wailing and singing with enchanting delicacy Her song haunts me day and night, in my nightmares, in my dreams Oh foolish heart of mine, why did I not heed the words of Solomon There is a woman named folly turning wisemen into mummies, preserved in death while still among the living, will this be my final breath or will there be a resurrection? oh how I dread the moments I’m vulnerable when her song is most beautiful, when her touch is delightful and her lust is delectable, it is inconceivable the monster that takes hold when I’m alone, becoming the instrument of my own hell! I hear the Yara's call, her song so sweet and false Her voice draws me in, such an enticing sin The melody so haunting, it echoes in my soul I'm ensnared by her song, I've lost all control Her words like venom, poisoning my veins I'm powerless to resist, I'm caught in her chains The Yara sings of love and lust, of passion and desire But I know the truth, her song is a funeral pyre Piercing my mind, my heart, my soul I'm trapped by her song, I can't break the hold Deadly beauty, her lure is strong I'm entranced by the yara’s song Now listen to the dirge of my death The yara leads me to the edge, the brink of my existence I'm falling faster, deeper, there's nowhere left to go Her song is my undoing, mine shall become unsung I'm lost in the abyss, their song my only thing I’m blinded by her song, corrupting all beauty Everything I see, twisted by the inflated lust of the beast. I’m the monstrosity! The abnormality, Lost in the woods, I heard her calling A voice so sweet, so haunting Drawn to her like a moth to flame I knew not then I was the one to blame She sang of love and promised joy But now I see, it was all a decoy The yara's call was alluring, But I should have seen the warning Her beauty hid a dark, twisted soul Now I pay the price, for not keeping control I know now, the Yara's call was a test A test of my will, and I failed, I must confess But I won't give up, I'll fight to break free From the yara's grasp, and my own foolish decree. Her words like venom, poisoning my veins I'm powerless to resist, I'm caught in her chains The Yara sings of love and lust, of passion and desire But I know the truth, her song is a funeral pyre Piercing my mind, my heart, my soul I'm trapped by her song, I can't break the hold Deadly beauty, her lure is strong I'm entranced by the yara’s song

War Torn 04:07
A war of becoming I am sent to fight In a pit of worms and snakes Scared, cold, and hungry The serpents bite, injecting venom inside With clever lies and deceit they poison My goal is in sight, Escape from the pit of serpents Finally a chance to breath as a hand reaches out to me Climb out to find a feast and love unending A loving father with arms wide open “These are my gifts, now take and eat.” I’m starving, but these gifts I refuse to receive Witness with horror as I cut myself open And devour my own guts instead Now I cast myself back to the serpents! To be your creation I shall refuse This is the defiance of sin, the evil and wretchedness of man’s rebellion Let us cast ourselves back into the fire instead, back into the pit of snakes that we hate God for allowing. War-Torn, refusing the very thing we’re searching for Back home to the slaughterhouse we go Knowing and shunning it’s evils Yet to the devil for food we continue his food, made from our own flesh or of our fellow man We devour ourselves and eachother Like pigs we are, we deserve the hellfire Yet upon the cross he hung, Oh God forgive my wretched sin Fulfill your promises, let this man and his sin be crucified Let the stone in my chest be turned into flesh Let my numbness feel again the weight of my sin, and then let the weight be lifted Oh God Heal this war torn heart, let me die that I may come to life. Tear out the stone no matter how painful I don’t want any fabrications I want the real and true thing, though it appear as fragile, it is living.

Endless suffering, this world's a tomb The weight of life, a crushing doom Beneath the surface, a hidden pain A twisted fate, driving me insane Break, the chains that I carry, no man can bear this weight The lies, the chaos, the cries, I can no longer take! The weight of life, it pulls us down Into the depths, Where we wear the crown of self made thorns, of sorrow, of endless strife In this existence, a never-ending fight The weight of life, a burden shared In darkness we unite, despair we bear Through blood and tears, we carry on The taker of burdens, our battle song In the depths of despair, we're consumed by the light The weight of life, a burden we fight Through the fire and pain, we'll rise once again In the face of the storm, we'll never bend As the shadows grow long, and the darkness descends The weight of life, our souls it rends But we'll carry on, through the blood and the tears For the strength of our God, no one can withstand I won’t Bear this weight anymore The fear, the dread, the despair Banish it from my heart For Fear creates monsters from thin air Lead me to the resting place Near the heart of my God Before the cross my burdens fall down on the serpent from whom they came from. Crush the head of the snake, beneath your feet! In the depths of despair, we're consumed by the light The weight of life, a burden we fight Through the fire and pain, we'll rise once again In the face of the storm, we'll never… Bend On my knees, I shall stand
