THE NEEDLE HITS THE THREAD ,
FROM THE SPOOL THAT IS YOUR LIFE,
THEY DECIDE YOUR FATE,
SLAVES TO THE WORDS OF NONE ,
OBLIVIOUS TO LOVE AND HATE,
EVERY MAN ALIVE HAS BEEN FOLLOWED…
SINCE BIRTH!
NAUGHT ESCAPES THEIR GAZE,
YOUR LIFE IS IN THE JUDGMENT,
OF ATROPOS'S SCISSORS,
AND THE LAST THING YOU SHALL SEE IS HER FACE,
THY FATE WAS SET WELL BEFORE YOUR FOURTH DAY ALIVE
NOTHING BUT A SLAVE TO THE RHYTM OF THE SPINNING WHEEL,
YOUR PATH IS PREDISPOSED,
FREE WILL IS A JOKE,
WHEN WILL THE THREAD BE CUT?
WILL YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH?
LONG ENOUGH?
THE COLD STEEL OF THE BLADES,
INCHES AWAY!
JUDGES IN THE STARS,
SANS COMPASSION, SANS MERCY,
EVER SINCE YOUR BIRTH,
CONNECTED TO THE NEEDLE

And So the Silence Died

COMPELLED BY CHAOS, I WALK THROUGH THE NIGHT,
DOGS OF THE OUTER WORLDS LET LOOSE,
THEY FEED UPON MY MIND,
YET UNHEARD BY ME ARE THE...
CHANTS OF GRIEF,
DENIED BY MATERIALITY,
TRAPPED HERE I AM,
CALLING ME BACK,
THEY CALL ME BACK,
YET ONWARDS I GO,
TOWARDS DIVINITY
SERAPHS AWAIT,
LIKE STATUES OF SHADE,
MY FLESH IS COLD,
FOR I'M NOT HERE,
BEGOTTEN IN THE,
DARKEST CORNERS,
OF NOUS!
I LOOK DOWN UPON MY FLESH,
IMPRISONED, DECADENT AND WEAK,
DENYING TO RETURN,
I JOURNEY LIGHT AND VOLATILE,
AS THE AIR WE BREATHE,
CONJURING MY WILL,
AND MY INNER SELF,
I RECREATE AND LEAVE ALL ELSE BEHIND,
WREAKING HAVOC
THEY FEED UPON MY MIND,
YET UNHEARD BY ME ARE THE...
CHANTS OF GRIEF,
DENIED BY MATERIALITY,
TRAPPED HERE I AM!
