ESOTERIC LYRICS

1. Descent

Speech falls silent
The more words that are spilt, the more hopeless it becomes
The more desperate the need, the stronger the apathy takes hold
And it spirals out of control
Descending into some riotous state

Oblivious to all
And only horror most severe
Could bring the senses to reason

Regret, and despair so great
Make this body of lead
Cognition burns my eyes
The angst pulses, through my veins

Can this malignant realisation be set to forge paths anew?
Or is it just another wound to burn on
Until all hope is rotting in vain?

Contain. Castigate. Abscond. Descend

That old faithful
The whispered promise
Beguiled in doubt
Transparent intent, bereft of substance

And it always comes to this
So let us raise a final glass
To resentment, hostility
To breakdown
To end

2. Rotting in Dereliction

Sometimes it seems like it can only be difficult
Odd moments of peace may disguise the impending doom
But the dissent rages, if not in one then in another
And all sense of hope is culled

Searching for utopia, only to find stagnation and disappointment
The ego bloodied and torn, yet grasping still
Desperate to find the one reason so great
It might justify this unending time of unrest

All that you are is a parasite
A leech that would drain the last drop
And offer only arrogance and silent indignation in return
I am done with days skulking in the blindness of false bliss
Dead is the will to believe
Crushed is the hope, buried in the blackest seas

Memories are stark, damaged, bleak
Aghast with misery
Destined for failure, future is only the betrayer of hope
No sustenance on which it could feed

This vessel lay empty now, rotting in dereliction
Frozen in time, as the last fragment falls to the earth
Like some deathly tear

3. Antim Yatra

[Instrumental]

4. Consuming Lies

Hiding stupidity in plain sight
A sea of clones
Lead us to the demise of independent thought
Reaction without questions or diligence, assumption becomes absolute
Judgement and condemnation on the lips of every hypocrite
Truth and facts deemed a priori to the cause

Consuming lies like rats desperate to be fed
With no regard to the shit they are eating

Scavenging upon pre-determined content
To fulfill the target of their own, pre-conceived selves
The herd mentality gains traction with each passing assimilation
A distraction from reality
Those empty words upon which everything is said and not done

Products of a communal conscience that changes with each new fashion
Bending and morphing in their desperation to become one and the same

Liberties sold for technological inclusion
Inviting the shackles to the flesh, for the freedom of mind is already lost

God is dead, yet there is no drought of the holy
Self-appointed saints, spouting their ill-conceived rhetoric
Like moral beacons, casting aspersions with impunity
Each forgetting that all are but flawed

5. Culmination

'Tis nothing if not a cruel world
Again we endure
A sound that has become all too familiar
As the music plays, the curtains draw

In this script of life, the tragedy plays on
And it arrives with envy, of those still to learn
Of the questions it brings
The dawning of nature's indifference
We are but ants without purpose

But this time, it feels different
One moment in time becomes finite
An aftermath of horror so hard to bear witness
Which only seconds before, could not be conceived
Stripped of life
Crushed and burnt

It feels unreal, yet nothing is more definite
A warning to those left behind

That each second passing by, draws us nearer
No question of if, but when

Still we move forth
To journey's end

6. Sick and Tired

Sick and tired of the daily drudge
Swallowed within the mires of cynicism
Chaos has become me
A constant urgency, tearing through
Unsettles the nerves
Time flashes by unnoticed

Until all stops
And time crashes to a halt
Weariness catches me as I emerge from the first real slumber
Procrastination begins
And the dark clouds come rolling in
Claustrophobic, suffocating in this never ending struggle

With this endless weight, tied
Like an albatross around my neck
It never relents
I exist only for the sake of existence

Paralysed with apathy, the mind filled with dread
Struggling to raise enough will to move from slumber
Eyes still red, heavy with poison

This is not living, but waiting for death
This is not breathing, but suffocating under a glut of despots
Sentiment is lost in a time that knows only greed
