Alone 03:20
From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were—I have not seen As others saw—I could not bring My passions from a common spring— From the same source I have not taken My sorrow—I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone— And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone— Then—in my childhood—in the dawn Of a most stormy life—was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still— From the torrent, or the fountain— From the red cliff of the mountain— From the sun that ’round me roll’d In its autumn tint of gold— From the lightning in the sky As it pass’d me flying by— From the thunder, and the storm— And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view— -“Alone” by Edgar Allan Poe

Death 03:53
Enslaved by life The darkness falls at thy behest Feed the thunder, endure the wind Engulfing are the flames that burn within A shred of hope cannot be seen A haunted soul, tainted so foul Death Pained as a being, self-hatred is sure A life full of dread, with no known cure The only way out A bullet to the head Ending the pain Better off dead Death Descending into madness Wrought only by a lingering sadness The mountain will kill your suffering breath Composed from the shadows Blackness, deprived The end has arrived Consumed of all life; Freedom through a knife Death Consumed of all life; Freedom through a knife

Sailing the seas of infinity My journey into the caverns has begun Here the body is split Here the soul may unite Only through the streams of madness Can I again be complete Fiddler guide me Your melodies echo within The sun-ship has descended A blood-red moon takes it place Lost in the catacombs of judgement This insane quest leads me on Black are the rivers beyond the Ogdoad Burning, the serpents beneath the universe Beckoning abyss Insight is the Key Beckoning abyss Creation and creator are as One The final answer Creation and creator become as One

Impenetrable wall of thorns Prying open catacombs The vultures pierce my skin My armour worn and thin Revealing bones within The body aids digesture Laying in my Adam's vesture The corpse defiled and weak Contorted, dry and limp Barricades of razor wire Caught in Satan's crossfire Sinking in the mire The mirror in which I scryer The vulture, bird and seagull Pecking at exposed skull Falling deeper down the hole Of despair The raven, crow and crane Pecking at exposed brain Gushing is the rain The spirit sits, drained Sore covered tongues Licking tar filled lungs

Cut my wrist, end my life Depression hidden in plain sight Cognizance, my strife Mortality becomes our blight Haunting and prevailing I walk in shrouded mist The prison of flesh; our constant ailing A darkness will assist Haunting and prevailing I walk in a shrouded mist Prison of flesh; constant ailing A darkness will assist Steadily we sit, failing A darkness will assist Steadily we sit, failing The prison of flesh; our constant ailing
