Praise The Sun

[Chorus]
Praise the Sun
Acquiesce
Enlightment
Within reach.
What determines us?
Bounded by one flame.
Within you
within me
within us.
Praise the Sun
[Verse]
Seeker of answers,
engulfed in the negligence of my mind.
What are the questions?
Lost in the mist of my own thoughts.
Wil we ever find the reasons?
Wil that make us sound?
[Verse 2]
If all has always been a lie,
something that you can not define.
How come I let time pass me by
as I stood still and only watched.
[Chorus]
[Verse]
How come we came so far
yet still dwelling on forgotten past?
When the future seemed so vast
now stuck in whirling course of life.
This is where i come to departure
from harsh reality of self.
[Verse 2]
If there is life on time borrowed,
fortune of advice I would have followed.
Give me copium to forgive my sorrow,
Find the rays of better tomorrow .
[Bridge]
Clarity to find within ourselves.
Left me without a trace
of sadness or grief.
Brightest rays
enlightening days.
Enlighten my days.
[Chorus]
Praise the Sun! \[T]/

Inferno
04:34
|
|||
|
Lost in time,
blighted might,
sacred moira,
the hand of doom.
Cracked red eye
cracking the sky.
Pinnacle of deceit,
pinnacle of release.
Ash filled fields
tainting the soils.
Human debris
demised believe.
Mocked for the thoughts.
Life beyond the stars.
Truth shall be known,
shattered Eruption.
The might will fall
and so will I.
Lie in the inferno.
Embrace The Flame.
Catastrophic failure of mankind
Terra Firma, fireball Supernova.
Wake of destruction, belated extinction.
Left with a prayer, left with no savior.
The might will fall
and so will I.
Lie in the inferno.
Embrace The Flame.
Remaining hopeless.
Lies lie closest.
Embrace the final flame.
Truth be discovered,
Deceit uncovered.
Embrace the final lie.
Lie, Lie.
Swallowed whole, Abyss of torment.
Guided by foolish idols.
Extinguished light of day,
humanity dies.

Cerebrum
03:57
|
|||
|
Travel to the cortex of my mind
find the context fueling me.
What lies beyond this decrepit flesh?
What comes after? Baneful dread.
Demented mind in Demented shape.
A piece of darkness
within me
spreading disease,
spreading defeat.
Unwilfully
follow the lead,
finished deed
What is mercy?
What is pain?
What is pleasure?
Only disdain (Only bloodstain)
Annihilate
Mutilate
Taken whole in the abyss of torment.
What lies beyond this decrepit flesh?
Demented body with demented mind.
A dire need to mutilate,
starved for dopamine.
Darkness fulfilled
unwilfully.
Follow the lead,
finished dead
What is mercy?
What is pain?
What is pleasure?
Only disdain (Only bloodstain)
Mutilate
Annihilate

Blind Slaughter
04:35
|
|||
|
Can we forgive ourselves?
The stories we used to tell
vanished into oblivion.
Is this what they refer to hell?
Living on memories,
theories what could have been done.
Can someone change a course of another life
or is it impossible,
written in bare stone?
another recipient of a
cruel fate.
Change is inevitable,
for better or for worse.
We are the lamb herd,
waiting for blind slaughter.
Can we confess the truth?
Bit by bit it takes a toll.
In a day everything seems to pull away.
Losing structural integrity of my mind.
tired of my own self deprecating thoughts
days and months living in my head.
Change is inevitable,
for better or for worse.
We are the lamb herd
waiting for slaughter.
Losing sense of what I've been.
Finding a new way to proceed.
We are victims of fates slaughter.
Crawling towards the fire.
Asking to bring us closure.
We are victims of blind slaughter.
Can we accept the truth
were nothing but lost embers
seeking our very own flame
seeking our very own meaning
Change is inevitable
for better or for worse.
We are the lamb herd
waiting for slaughter.

Hannibalize
05:06
|
|||
|
Incapacitate the mind,
depletion of sense,
languish acquiescence
deceptive will.
Absorb your own kind.
Cannibalize another mind.
Drown in the silence
obey its belief.
Verbal pestilence,
Cerebral dissection.
Manipulated thoughts
conveying lies
unseen to the futile eyes.
Inhumane Feast.
Absorb your own kind.
Cannibalize another mind.
Drown in the silence
obey its belief.
Verbal pestilence,
Cerebral dissection.
Inhumane fodder.
Eaten.
Soaked in human blood.
Flesh feed to its own roots.
Without death
we'd would be at a loss,
driven by passing
to greatness.
Drown in the silence
obey its belief.
Verbal pestilence,
Cerebral dissection.

Fractured Time
06:24
|
|||
|
Living in the moment,
day by day we don't notice
nourishment and sacrifice.
Small thing taken for granted,
now haunting my head. Misery of regret.
Inconsidered the impact
before death shows itself.
Initial Denial
Can we believe
one single spoken word?
Could we relive
one single moment?
Hollow-hearted within,
cold hearted defeat.
Time weakening my mind
and strengthening my heart,
inside sorrow still lies.
Remembering the mournful days
and forgetting all the good
childhood memories.
Can we believe
one single spoken word?
Could we relive
one single moment?
Hollow-hearted within,
cold hearted defeat.
Cannot perceive all the lost memories,
lying buried within my own mind.
Cannot perceive all those memories,
lying buried within my own mind.
Fractured time, forgotten memory.
Recollections wishing to find.
Fractured time, forgotten memory.
In soul now lies shame and regret.
Fractured time, forgotten memory.
How could I forget all devoted moments.
Fractured time, forgotten memory.
Forever on my mind, forever in lament.

In The Absence Of Mind
12:19
|
|||
|
Soulless, branded by the mark.
Plight of existence.
Fragment, buried deep within.
Calamity of being.
Tortured, by its own perception.
Plight of existence.
Sorrow, the familiar state.
Calamity of being.
Look around to see
the damage we've done.
Struggles within us all,
contrasting ways to pacify.
Agony to alleviate,
to vanquish the demon.
To pain apathetic.
The ghost of my past.
In the absence of my own mind,
the flames have withered and soon will follow I.
In the depths of my own soul,
lies a glimmer of foolish hope.
Is there even a chance
that we would ever be whole again?
If the day eventually comes
until then I'll follow my own tide.
Haunted by night,
haunted by day.
Ghost of me,
ghost of what i used to be.
Change with time,
change to a better version of self
or so it seems.
Living reflection of time.
Unrecognizable
image to past self,
Only a shadow
of former self remains.
Time is a cruel mistress.
In a time of distress
no one can detest, it cures, it cures.
Simultaneously it proceeds, proceeds.
Wishing to go by faster, faster,
realizing you can't go back, can't go back.
but the wish always remains.
Rays of the sunlight guide me.
Cant go back cant go further, further.
Rays of sunlight calling me home.
In the nothingness where it began, began.
The days of our youth calls
for the nostalgic ones,
to reexperience
it one last time.
Before the flames dies
and so do i
blissful ignorance
revert me back.
In the absence of my own mind,
the flames have withered and soon will follow I.
In the depths of my own soul,
lies a glimmer of foolish hope.
Is there even a chance
that we would ever be whole again?
If the day eventually comes
until then I'll follow my own tide.

The toilet led me here: https://toiletovhell.com/review-muka-patologija-poniznosti/ I'm glad it did. Cold, sinister, powerful, energetic, a touch of disso and some earnest aggro. I'm still digesting it but I dig it a whole lot so far.
