World Turned Hell
DAMIM
Cursed to a world, extinguished Persist in existence Defiant of the tyrant who reigns, intractable Lost in the tortuous meanders of grief The mantra distorts like a spell Reality subverted, reversed Resentment for a world turned hell In the beginning, the heavens fell below the earth Consecrated by a new nausea No chant of poignant resonance No appeal to the ancient Or covenant of injustice Can this vehemence appease By the blood of the innocent Dispossessed of their lives By the ineffable, eternal This banner of conviction This seal of indifference Bestowed in deafening silence A wisdom only the pain of grief can yield A wound no earthly sojourn can heal To a world of pain and ugliness With eyes now truly open With a parting kiss of agony The heavy wine of oblivion Shrouded in the livery Of the unforgiven Lost in the tortuous meanders of grief The mantra distorts like a spell Reality subverted, reversed Resentment for a world turned hell

To Catch A Falling Knife
DAMIM
to whom these walls are set to free behold the throne of alienation To prise apart conflicting deflections Heed the price of Inaction…. inaction... Sickened with a torpid heat eternal night encroaching on another existence I cannot explain what’s happening Shattering nausea permeates The omen resonates Rise below the beyond, saturate With sufferance ascribed to weakness Frozen into the pantheon A recent death in the family had brought it to my attention It seems I may have been running out of life A bitter song within their hearts Our will to change the universe Ineffable with clarity A language only I can fathom Among the thoughts not meant to be A darker world that I envision

In A Language They Understand (live)
DAMIM
It’s been a while since the flint of entropy ignited the simian mind, With dreams of power and distrust – only death is real! With a world set back centuries and wolves at the door; When there is no room for new ideas – only death is real! Only death is real! Forcing distasteful convictions, A narrative by blackmail and coercion. Rejecting the facts: unholy zeal Repulsed by the acts: religious, secular Gaze into the void – inaccessible… Beyond transfinite ordinal… Deep into the world of the unfathomable… Comrades embrace, saluting the martyr, Ignore the pungent reminder That no deconstruction or contrition will spare the blind Let those with eyes to see. For the souls that inhabit the air, And bodies cast into the ground: Consumed to the world – your disharmony is mine! Within your heart of bronze the absence of mercy. Go forth: create a world unlike any. Change the course of existence, Remake the image of man!

Descendant Of Amalek
DAMIM
I hope you never find peace I wish you'd never been born Abject being Grotesque mind existing to uphold Abhorrent simian traits perverse Joy through another's pain Self-appointed God Without compass to steer this ship of fools In a spiral drown Down to the adoration of what must be excised Execrated seams to venerate Will you choose to Evolve Or suffer your human tragedy The time will come to pass When I shall wish a death upon innocents And neglect the ones who love me Why am I afraid to long for nothing else You Too can join me Embrace - be free from the shackles of empathy Candid frames of narcissism stick Narcissus sick, narcissus sick - you make me wretch Enamoured with evil psychology Nothing can save you From your own cold dead heart Drink deep from the well of bitterness
