Open wide thine arms And welcome dissolution into thy embrace - into thy soul A very universe of needle shafts spearing into thy essence Shearing... unmaking... dissembling The bliss of extinction travels on seas of agony For what more can the last tattered vestiges of consciousness demand? What else can await the scions of reduction? Than the shredding vortex of extinction From pain, we derive finality - and from finality, release. We placed our hopes in a gilded cage of unreality Little more than the crushing, iron-shod shackles of purest ignorance Bereft of guild, absent of thought The very basest, reductive reasoning of the mentally stillborn Begging for solace in the endless corridors of a feeble fantasy. Eyes glazed with the desperate narcotic gleam Of a stunted mind grasping in dependence Infantile mewling and whimpering shame pours forth Reaching with tendrils of a child's yearning For the dopamine surge of oblivion's grasp In forlorn defiance the shrieking agonies Carried by the reality of violent obliteration And so it comes. The end It comes on trails of fire and plateaus of carrion Sown in soils trammelled with malediction's venom Howling absence A hurricane of negation Open wide thy throats And scream... and scream... and scream Tracheas red raw, vocal chords split and shredded Revel in this damnation For which we begged and pleaded Craved - as opiates flooding a rotted, dying cortex. This is what we prayed for For this is our gift
