Ruins, My Dying World

Laying the ultimate foundations
The visionary, Enlighted authority
High grounds, praise be on me
Unstoppable, igniting the array
Move, isn’t it obvious that I’ll crush you down
For I am the preeminent being
Carving the ruins and addressing my crown
Oppression for all the contrarians
The ambitious cosmic decree
Relentlessly conquering everything
Unleashing what is unforeseen
Behold, my legacy is for eternity
Setting my sails, to the unknown existence
No matter the casualties, I’ll be the king
Nurturing the spirit of my known persistence
No matter the deeds, my name they’ll sing
Destiny, it's my destiny
I’m the one who will change the ways
So follow me, now follow me
I’m the one who will change the days
Raise raise,
An army i’ll raise
An army I'll raise that is just made of fire
Blaze , Blaze
Set all ablaze
Set all ablaze that I do not desire
Weighing the infinite creation
The cautionary, frightened majority
Low grounds, praise be on thee
Disposable, an inviting disarray
Laying the ultimate foundations
The visionary, Enlighted authority
High grounds, praise be on me
Unstoppable, igniting the array
Undoubtedly, all will suffice
What an empowering moment to realize
The very existence of mine, the divine
Now, even when the dark clouds are closing ahead
The manicing endlessness outlives us all
A tenebrous Aeon, its course
Weighing the infinite creation
The cautionary, frightened majority
Low grounds, praise be on thee
Disposable, an inviting disarray
Laying the ultimate foundations
The visionary, Enlighted authority
High grounds, praise be on me
Unstoppable, igniting the array
The ambitious cosmic decree
Unleashing what is unforeseen
Behold,
The Ruins that I conceive

Breathing in the world of the lies
I’ve sinned in the midst of my highs
Foreseeing nothing but a miracle to emanate
Faint touch of reality
Concluding my very fate
The anchored vision after all
Declaring a certain fall
The unchallenged conqueror
Kneeling to face the abyss
Leading my ignorant mind
To a deceptive curse outlined
Chaining the mere thought that resonates
Doomed by the circle of life
I’ve shined through the edge of the skies
Farseeing nothing but a perfect selfish trait
Vague touch of delusion
Concluding my very fate
The untamed desires at call
Clenching thrust of it all
The malignant manifest
Craving to cause an affect
The anchored vision after all
Declaring a certain fall
The unchallenged conqueror
Kneeling to face the abyss
Screams, yes I can hear
Pain, yes I can feel
Carnage, yes I can breathe
What I have done, yes I can see
Blindly I have followed me
Swiftly my urges swallowed me
Failures that have vanquished me
Now I, know what I will be
Rays of, awareness
Breaching my walls
Uneven structures
All the arid trails
Realization
A longing for change

No more, wrongful affections
Alienation of self reflection
Abstract contingencies
Coming to terms with me
Untaint the worthy
Be a breeze and let me
Undo the unjust
Forgo what has been done
Untie the lines
Set sail and beat the tides

Reign of the Black Sun

Oh, relying on my merciless traits
Shadow follows me
Darkness curtains the sun
Shallow screams haunting me
The raging tides
My inner cries
Still it isn't too late to put up a fight
Devastation is nigh
I created the horrors in time
Seeing all that I’m leaving behind
I was blind to patterns of mine
Of elusive trails in disguise
I am under the stormy skies
Shaking off what is left inside
I’m creating a self-paradigm
To better what’s left in life
Now through this uncertain voyage I steer
At least the intentions are clear
Nothing more is on the frontier
I believe the shoreline is near
Critter with the onus
Can’t believe what I’ve done
Closure is certain
Can’t leave the things undone
My endeavors
Are bound to me forever
I up-anchor and set the sail
For I was born not to fail

Ashes and Fading Tides

Embrace, a new era has begun
Projecting a definitive alacrity
Brace the new waves arising
The blackened sun is calming down
Throne
No longer feeds me
Greed
No longer intrigues me
Storm
No longer needs me
Drowned my deeds, so I can breathe
The invincible philosophy
Is crashing onto me
The magnitude is surreal
Clearing my false pretence
Tracing the spirit long forgotten
Acknowledging the path untrodden
Replacing the manice causing destruction
Pacing the process of self reflection
Touch of the ocean
Tidal disharmony
All there’s ought to be
Is the presence of sanity
Touch of the ruins
Marks a new belief
All I’m ought to be
Is the essence of morality
Uncovering the inner secrets
Of my molded soul
Immense realization awakens me
Leading me to reality
Breaking the darkness
The light passes through
Unhinder, it reaches me
Setting my soul free
Enigma of time
Adjusting the unforgiven crimes
Bringing forth
The ultimate divine
A new uncrowned king
Reborn to serve
Another humanity’s kin
Altering the curse
The hour Is here
It's finally here
The invincible philosophy
Is crashing down on me
The magnitude is surreal
Clearing my false behests
As far as I can see
It’s all meant to be
A justified disclosure
Guilty I plead
The inevitable I perceive
Of ashes uniformity
The ultimatum is achieved
And fading tides abreast
