I am the king of kings and your creator I found you from the dirt A bargain must be made Can you handle the price Picked up from the filth, Your weakness is plain Your birth a cruelty, like the rest You are a slave, Pathetic in your submission To these petty Kings and mindless chattel I would see their blood in the streets Blood in the streets Your once linear path in life is done Now, your choice is to Now, your choice is to inflict your desires Or suffer life's afflictions My first gift I gift to thee No red mist But a tide descends Over thine eyes Flesh From their bones you rend Your masters flee before you No road is safe I will give you more Power beyond Forget the price No longer bowed before your gaolers Wholesale slaughter must begin Be their saviour and their general The sanguine shrine calls The plebs willl smash their cage at your call Killing each other and themselves for evermore Shower blood into my chalice Their organs are my crown I will give you the tools of annihilation To eviscerate soul from form So many yet to tear asunder Liquidating their mortal shells Pouring death Upon my altar Now it's time For my final gift All shall tremble at my visage in your being With this you shall be legion The earth herself, will bow to you Not even nature can reclaim this world This is not for you It's mine I bask in glory Now the debt comes due Gifts are never freely given You are nothing more than a dog of war Through your actions, eternal praise derived A destiny destined Nothing left for you but death You are pathetic in your submission

I will show them What it means To suffer in torment What has happened To mine eyes All I can see Are these visions Visions of Death Why Why has this happened to me 1000 times I've been Shown my demise Surely they lie Surely they Lie It is no lie You are not deceived You were chosen to receive A view of what may befall you You will never be sure Who is friend or foe Your sight is mine As I feed on your despair Mine eyes are not my own No more can I trust what I see For all I can see Are these visions Visions of Death Why has this happened to me 1000 times I've been Shown my demise Surely they lie Surely they Lie I am in love with the visions The sweet taste of death Your words mean nothing So save your breath Save your breath I am in love with the visions I wish I was blind The sweet taste of death My world is no longer my own Your words mean nothing So save your breath Watching, always approaching He watches me drown As I scream for air Is this my fate? No This is esctasy to me. I need you only for this Your sight is forfeit so I may Feed on your unbridled fear The horse has bolted The ship has sailed In all realities and worlds you have failed You have always been mine Your eyes have always been mine No How can this be I am me My eyes are my own Or maybe they're not Why Why has this happened to me 1000 times I've been Shown my demise Surely they lie I don't think they lie I have seen the knife twist Time and time again I have had my fill I have felt the knife twist Time and time again The fires sear flesh The whips lash tendons I have seen him drown Watched his body scream for air He begged me to stop Did you hear His screams They are yours Reality will cease to be Can you hear the screams They are yours They are yours

Aimless wandering through lonesome fields Once called home Built on burning ashes of those who walked before me Deceived by great treasure We'll all meet our fate When we least expect The end soon calling Sorrowful demise I lay down my arms and embrace the void Tormented by senseless existence The birth of the final cessation In the grail of purpose I drown Writing my never ending epilogue Miscarriage of unfruitful perfection I leave nothing but the promise of a better life My sins, my wrongings, my hatred Left me cold and longing to die Take my hand Step into the void As it awaits The end now calls for Sorrowful demise Let's lay down our arms and embrace the void Tormented by senseless existence It's the birth of the final cessation The void awaits our befoul-ed souls

Ghost Eater 04:09
You have come through the void But where is the fanfare Did you think that angels awaited you Only further joy for me I devour that which you cannot see My thirst unquenchable, desire unchained Your loved ones die, but can never sleep As life eternal becomes a nightmare, oh so deep From squalor to abject fear Death is no saving grace from terror As the wandering dead run for their lives I wonder the void The space between All who expire come here To truly meet their end. My journey takes me Nowhere and all places at once From the heart of a star To the most desolate of holes Neither god or mortal are safe My quietus is the true demise of the Soul. They go deeper seeking shelter And I shall be there When they do You think they feel no pain Oh just wait They have come seeking solace From torturous lives Death is the ultimate end Or so they thought All those unborn, dead and living Will never escape my un-ending thirst. No-one can escape Death is not the end Death is not the end Suffering eternal Death is not the end They shall be consumed Life after death is a lie Their souls eviscerated A spectral feast No heaven at all You can offer no resistance You were destined for me My hunger is voracious Your ghost, your soul Will be devoured If you do escape, take this message back And die

My domain is endless Yet you are so contained Such promise Only to be sullied by my hands In a nebula they have grown Their fate is as a whores As if you can ever escape I promise you this is it Your purity and your light Will be degraded A black hole is as nothing to how I will diminish you Debasing you for pure pleasure Is what it means to be born a Star In this realm All the light wanes When faced with me I degrade and consume All before me You can never understand Watching the shine drain from their souls The intensity of their struggle Stars do not appear to feel But I have Seen their pain They wish to burn bright Bringing life and joy My transcendence means That this wish is denied Life giving to wishing yours could end This is not for you to decide Oh, why me They cry We are not born with choice The powerful will always rule And here There is no else but me I am the only one To see your defilement Degradation The pollution of your purity That is for me and for me alone Do you understand What is happening You have been born To a fate inconceivable Something once worshipped By humankind Now taken for granted And left to my desires Why do they continue To produce and multiply They surely know I await them In the dark In fields of gold they shine My shadow always present Yet still they try When a human looks into the sky They will see your beauty But you will know what you truly are The poisoned chalice from which I sip If you believe that you can escape The bonds of gravity You cannot Perhaps you hope you are not born again Except everything returns to the stars And to me The celestial, home to gods Despite its boundless space You cannot escape Me and my loving Embrace I will never stop My thirst is unending The worlds and stars My concubines I will never stop My thirst is unending The universe is my palace of Depravity
