Sixtus 10:50
Like the sound Of Waste Substance melts away Smoldered crowns Given face Wrought all to grey Wicked Pride One wicked strike To blow all down Past grace aside Conscious subsides Bloodied claws come down Desperate lies For idles eyes Used to cull all sounds Of Wicked pride Of Wicked strikes Of these roots, blood bound. One simple thought Turned to a wraith One idle glance Forced into hate One single ounce To take its shape One lost ideal Caught at the gates One mind distraught Caught far too late One foolish move Decides a fate One angered thought In fallacy One mind distraught Caught far too late Eyes shot with shame Forced in the ground A shattered faith No longer proud Exits the game In sloppy blame Hands fold around These throats of shame Loss is my companion in these fertile grounds. How can hope prevail, in these cells? Cast off pretentious misgivings of totallity as means to ends now falling through sieves of self-design, in privillaged time, to melt as wine and blood soaked sins of kind bode unwell. Shit stained lies Made apparent through Throat carved ties Left in wonders of hows and whys In shadows of Mind lapsed times Leaving questions of How can hope prevail, in these cells?

We're crashing from the city in the stars Now wake up peel dead eyes wide open Walk demloished paths unlead into Blank voids of lives once lived for reasons burned Laid down to rot in spite disclosed No second thoughts for life disrobed Memoirs forgot of joy disposed Hope once not lost now gone and cold Take us back In graces hold Don't run at This death foretold Walking down Mountains side Mournful strides Doubt set Eyes locked in Bloodied ties Quotient lives Bound by Die

Labrador 11:21
I am whole with shores, with shores of shale Providence prevailed But grasped unto dusks light I resist and fight with lies despite facing my true end We've found our sanctuary we will thrive at the cost of our lives we've found our home and peace we'll prosper in our vain feats children grow wealth no flows content to stay death by our presumed ways virgin smiles in place no glow in roles set to death betrothed I've found my peace it will not stay with me even the stars light won't deter my blight my death shines bright

Gaius 12:21
Sharpened teeth Bloodied hands Hatreds guilt Sets the stage All the cast Take their place Knives are set Blades astray What's one life in The scheme of it all Products Vie Brings new strife Mothers weep Fathers die Siblings bound In blood for blood Reason dies There'll be no Love Twenty stabs Lifeless palm All you need for demise That bitter taste, left to linger Of kingdoms dreamed, with out hinder Hearts full of bountiful soul Working towards self-destructive goals Peoples cries Forums spite Weary brows Venus' shroud Blades astray Lives now leashed On their kness Mars appeased Blood for blood Sharpened teeth All the cast On their knees Reason dies All you need Twenty stabs Life now leashed

Duchess 09:01
And they'll deny Anything is wrong Immortality, made a dream long gone A fall, from grace brought by greed The length of time such grudge beholds Far. Too. Bold. What could be, your very fate. This shroud hovers over grace The wicked bring them down, down to place.
