Failure To Die words are written in short succession, a story threads itself to correct flow. worlds unfold, life begins, runes give birth unto themselves autonomously a gift is authored, yet a subject to worship is desperately sought out to praise and question and beleaguer with all that is projected and reflected In enclosed creation unleashed meaning denied in evanescent intent incomprehensible case of creations gaining in meaning by unlearned creators where thoughts are unbound, and analysis is free of paralysis, Epiphany flutters gracefully through the air To be easily picked like The serpents ripe apples Instead of A journey relished authorsships’ sails are hoisted experts made New oracles. bestowing fate fitting Life into the right patterns In their success true failure is found everything turns to stone to stone everything turns to stone to stone   the cult of a Deaf and dumb and blind Monolith born at the top but on a way down ever since only in Lethe, sprung (forth) from decay, one tastes What becomes real. meaning denied in evanescent intent incomprehensible case of creations gaining in meaning by unlearned creators icons seam intricate lies, But broken only words remain to give the world its truth

A municipal holocaust…reigning in our heads A raging and twisting throughout the community Reaction to equal access (of this green pasture) People who misconstrue The right to life for the right to life off our backs Alms - a whole lot of ‘em Bums - the whole lot of ‘em These preposterous claims Of Moral sense Denied to be found in haemorrhaging coins a bleeding fool… shall not be our saviour Sauntering through our picturesque lands my relish repressed As I see the streets littered with those hoodlums (justified by savoir-vivre) Code for being free of morality, to spend money unearned “God helps those who help themselves!" So if they suffocate my Eden With their presence I’ll tracheotomise ‘em to breathe again Your ailing mind cast unto oblivion Bygone burden to burden dominion In kevorkian comfort of sins unborn That morbid fear of dying will be forlorn Frolicking through our picturesque ruins (with) newfound relish As I see the scripture of Darwin shining forth in its true bearing Decoded I see, not heresy But salvation, A social prophecy Time for you, To stand and be counted Get off my lawn; concentrate in new camps Keen, space-saving New role to thrive on Dehumanized Since you like Your dreadlocks so much You’ll savour our concoction of dread Life is your Yoke Biding good riddance Dehumanized Do not worry You won’t have to linger Anon furnaces burn to move you along Your alternate search Finds definite end Dehumanized For our glory And your salvation End dalliance; perish for our parish Just one more drink At my table rotund Then I’ll pass you out Dehumanized

I fear the writings on the wall That became my horizon I stand behind and dare not catch the gleam sent across (I'm) Epimetheus of modern days, I wallow in pandorian gifts And act surprised at poor outcomes discount the brother who blazed a path to his own bonds titan of yore still exists, in fragmented dwarfs who hammer at my forced fort as sparks flare up, I cower from inscribed and illumed sparks. We built a wall to build this wall, why oh why should it all be torn down now To lose this generous host? Invite the opposition? to parley and lay out a blood red carpet? I rather sustain a banquet of certain sorrows instead of a meager meal of false progress A meager meal that famishes into a last supper. I prefer, instead the definite starvation the siege brings behind our wall. For if time immemorial could change And I could climb to see beyond it all. I'd surmount the wall to see beyond, but would see, That beyond is but death, disorder, the downtrodden. I'd tread upward and burn underneath a sun that is too close, bemoaning the absence of shadows. I would see all the truths In writing and illumination I rather sustain a banquet of certain sorrows instead of a meager meal of false progress my system could never have processed

Gently kindle the flame of enlightenment, spark it as Winds of wisdom caress, groom it into godly strength so one day it may set ablaze the world in kind warmth. Expand the mind, take in the whole of the world. a cascade of sensations utterly overwhelmed by strangely gentle hands. I Transcend Leave this petty existence, Expand the mind Purify of weakness, rise and render obsolete morality and mortality To renounce what's all too human (to be) beyond a god All I know all this power won't grant me what my soul most craves. I plunge into darkest despair, As they mock my name defiant ignorants who bathe in what I miss. Why can't all this might bestow me bliss? The more I am buried in these beloved books of mine, The more I grasp about nature and the arts humane, The more I doubt, I riddle, more I know, more I control. But of all the words, these still ring the truest by far: “Habe nun, ach!“ [er sprach] „Philosophie Juristerei und Medizin Und leider auch Theologie Durchaus studiert, mit heissem bemüh'n Da steh' ich nun, ich armer Tor und bin so klug als wie zuvor” Da stand ich dann, ich armer Tor und war so klug wie je zuvor Scio enim quia non habeo quod the ultimate curse, to cage one's mind harrowed the grandest creators of all (yet) they overcame, let thoughts sever though no subject is uncursed perspective bears the key that awakens the dreaming books inside Un enfer est crée pour l’orgueil et la puissance, pour tous mes aspects d’ivoire un concerts d’enfers s’allume

Rage against the dying of the light. Mankind should burn and rave at close of the day. Let snow white hearses remain vacant, So caws the birthright of mortality. Though wise men, At their end, Know dark seems Right.to them Soul returns To its descent Timid, I wonder at bells that rise Unknown Name - I still echo a cry, As for a firm flash Ifully know deep at heart a fearful trip has begun A trip caused by the black milk of daybreak (you and) I drink at nightfall. The chill, the stupor, the letting go, is to be feared or craved? Would there be cheer or commiseration from empyrean heights, If you should die and I should live?   Time will Likely just gurgle on Replete with - deep desire to dwell. On a startled lust for life; quenched will to doom, the allotment a riddle Somebody’s sorrow is making me weep. I see uncaring skies where grief’s smoke now reeks A vapor which ciphers, As death kindly stopped for somebody someone. Somebody who sang the sun in flight. Someone who saddened as it set. passing rays evoke discordance Vivid eyes that fade in fire, Blinded gaze to blaze like meteors Stars that deform then will reform Find any destination to reach a path It may be a way of ground, or air, or nought, or plain beyond images and words - An occurrence sui generis And as my cloud atlas keeps greyin’ I’ll surely drift, But then nothing is ever found without something somewhere getting lost

Burn! Invite em all! Celebrate! My blindfold aside To stare down your truth My bonds broken to stray Beyond this world Bless the dagger that strikes the back Betrayed blood bans apathies freeze Nevermore reflection’s spark to lack A dewed mind demands fiery breeze A Molotov cocktail To toast to freedom Building to bonfire To warm a cold soul Feel the black line fever (To) get this party started Olden structures shake until they drop it like it’s hot It ends now! Party-crash The entire modern world it all fades Decadent Culture demands collapse Cancel the social contract End it most decadently   Thanks to the anarchist cookbook It will be well done So dear society You are most cordially invited To the mandatory attendance Of your own cremation Bless the dagger that strikes the back Betrayed blood bans apathies feeze Nevermore reflection’s spark to lack A dewed mind demands fiery breeze Form enslavement to debris Through obliteration From debris to enslavement The end is where it started

Leviathan 03:12
“During the time men live without a common power to keep Them all in awe, They are in that condition called war; indeed And such a war, As if of every man, Against every man” Like a mouse to a cat - trapped in a sphere of mere potential The purest form of might executed – to reign through allusion The mind - chained by the masses the masses - chained due to arrested minds In eternal grasp we coil Beholder of all Dreading yet never to suffer Your final blow Might that can and never kills In perpetual hold Forever to be the plaything Of true might Strife for a higher plane – stilled by the touch of our liberty The purest form of angst experienced – a subject to volition Freedom - halted by this deadlock deadlock - holds due to burdened freedom Pitch black comfort calms the heartbeat's rhythm - Dominate us all Firm hand desired to forge heart, mind and soul - tranquillize us all In chains we seek our emancipation - pacify us all For inner discord grants inner emigration Free us all Living is the sole ambition Dreams are obsolete Fearing our very own thoughts Moribund mind inside Stolen souls sold back to us An Infinite cycle Forever to be the plaything Of true mind

Convinced through Superior Firepower For far too long we have kept quit and just put up with it We let them dominate, dictate our ways our fucking kismet All the efforts we made to change our fate have been devoured Even critics have been convinced through superior firepower The voice of freedom Perish in the warfare’s noise Our desperate cries fill the night with horror But even though they know they just ignore our voice We have to break these shackles We have to turn the Page We call out the vendetta It’s our time to dominate Under the pretext of a faceless god we went along with All the insanity, the vanity, the faith and this shit You shall not say that war and death can’t be the will of god To them this would be a good reason to shed your bloody blood You just bring slaughter and disorder You are no god to me You think the end justifies the means? I don’t believe! I am not buying all the lying The shit that you pretend You just adapt all the means to the end my friend! We have to break these shackles We have to turn the Page We call out the vendetta It’s our time to dominate! Encore The cries still echo in the night What’s it good for? Why do we die? Like flies! Hope fades with every fading life What’s it good for? There’s no freedom in sight Masses face crucial decisions Die or leave a thing behind? New ways lead them to new borders Approached by hate the sad story rewinds History has taught a lesson Conflicts are not solved by war Well, it seems no one was present Hindsight tells us there is no winner In war
