Ode to the Conscious Mind

Walking a path torn from long buried sin

They trudge, heads held high, down a dark unlit alley

Heeding to the call of the unholy

In palms they hold the core of unbidden demons

From their mouths spew corruption as virulent as plagues

Vile exstincts justified by their exsistance



Perfection is a cloakk to cover their melancholy

Witness, convey the trueness of all nature

Their fists held high - "hear our kindred killer call"

Witness vile, filth and drink it with a fork

Some trip, some fall, others point the wrong way

Reincarnation of one another, biting pushing, flailing forward

Crying, dying - still chanting "Higher!"



Uncouth and freaky we creatures come hurtling forward

Melting plastic exterior and cold internal interior

Gaping abscess with the frame of man

See the bitter bullets, and know they lie

Grasping zombie like hands with hollow, incomplete eyes

No soul they slurry - "we are void"



Blathering bigots making comandments as they go

Following a song they do not yet know

Abject with their foolish reasonings and pride

No mind or will, revived by ancient dark art



Hail their rout as their martyr falls to the ground

Gibbering, groaning their scarlet hands held in prayer

They sacrifice it all for something far, far less.

They kill for creeds far beyond themselves

They will slay their own killing desires of present dreams

Never to admit to their fruitless chase

They all walk glooms road, the road with no penance

Dying for the cause of the Armageddeon

Yet they bless it with fear every day



Undeniably human, diabolic freaks of nature

Destruction their only name

Youth their only fame
