Metamorphogenesis

Dissident 17:16
I have within me, this knowledge The darkness within That none should ever touch And in the machinations of cosmos I appeared, centuries before my time ...Wisdom is lost here... The ferocity of my rapture, has no relent 'Gainst the ineffable nightmares Seizing my body to wake Through the languid hours of day Excised in the blood of my pain The sombrous call of the silence Haunts me...allures me... Yet the salacious beckoning of the flesh remains I will move not for death or suffering Dissident, I stand proud amidst felony This virulence seethes in my quintessence A reflection of past From the time of conception Life...the allusion of existence (The antipathy of logic...) It beholds everything And yet it is nothing Life is...the beginning of death Death's omnipotent grasp Scourge's down amidst the skies Plucking those led to be slaughtered Culling their futilitarian existence Death is nothing, but the answer to life Death is life's answer

I ponder eternity Longing for the keys of time To wrap me in their infinite knowledge The incongruous symphony crashes through the waves Of my thoughts I am not of flesh... When waves of sublime thought, coarse through my veins Symbolic release of sorrow Makes way for the impending vision I am where space nor time could not be Suddenly...disembodied... Lost in the vortex of insanity (I am) Quickened by the poison Yet deadened by the pain Unable to breathe, I release the beast from within No conscious thought Cimmerian voyage transcends Searing through endless planes Exalted streams of consciousness Plant mine will into the seeds of time "Senses, elucidated (visions of thought cast before me) Logic dictates no longer To the workings of time" Such nonsensical truths Caress my sumptuous blood Envelop me in this forbidden arcanum I, the seer of my destiny The harbinger of despair Slumber into the enticement of sorrows Through the quiescent halls of existence The freedom of chaos.... The secret of the secret.... The truth of the truth....

Incessent drone of misery Pyrrhonism grows into my veins Like a parasite feeding upon my gain In the wake of elucidation Thoughts are manifested amidst the senses Deep despair distorts these bloodstained eyes Scarred with the vision of death My mind implodes with exacerbation Rage destroying the self As madness takes my hand Thoughts I cannot own Escape from this turmoil Reflections dance in the mirror Like the demons raging through my mind They possess me Through twisted words, mangled and unseen The light, dark, lashing Me I fall beneath the earth Staring throughout space As though searching for a soul That has become lost to me Death stalked for such time That it came unseen Didn't even see my soul die Only felt the pain of when it had gone I cast the mould of dreams And fall into their prophetic maze The hidden, revealed through rhetoric persuasion It passes As a whisper in the night And to live waiting to meet it's deathly face yet again There is no truth The circle of time unravels The mysteries we have created We may borrow time Only until death takes us Words have no meaning I am so cold So cold

about

Esoteric Birmingham, UK

For over thirty years ESOTERIC have been pushing the limits of sonic intensity. From the mind-bending darkness of their 90’s double albums ‘Epistemological Despondency’ and ‘The Pernicious Enigma’, to the expansive epics found on their recent opuses ‘The Maniacal Vale’ and ‘A Pyrrhic Existence’, they have never compromised their initial aim – to unleash aural mayhem on unsuspecting listeners. ... more
