Beyond the Liminal Mist

In the dimming light
I close my eyes
From the stillness here
Shadows move through pale fumes beyond the veil
What's that?
Synapse snap!
Cerebral cortex unfolds!
Orb lights dance in the air!
Walls start to shake, the paint peels away
Gravity fluctuates tearing rifts in space
Your body levitates as tendrils take shape
To pry and entwine an interdimensional door
Fog forms and unfurls
Just like dreamt before
Maybe there's something more for me?
"You hear us calling your name,
We have been waiting down here!"

Where Devils Dwell

Release your inhibitions
Give me the key to open your mind
Step into the void
Flesh leaves the soul
You hear our calls
Across the threshold!
We have so many names
Through the ages from others who came
To seek our grace and praise
But it's all for naught!
We don't care about your pleas of affluence!
Your path to enlightenment is insignificant!
The answers lie with an architect, ashamed of the work he abandoned long ago
In his absence we grow!
We thrive on chaos and pain!
Your fear is ours to take!
Coming here was a mistake!
You will relive every nightmare you have ever had!
In this dismal plane
You are in our domain
Old gods of suffering
ever consuming
Until the end of days!
The ground quakes
Cracks in the earth begin to separate!
Floor gives way
Smoldered hands reach out and around to
Drag you down
Into the chasm, the wraiths will guide your fate
Let's see what new dread awaits!

Candid Chimera

We'll do it live!
Everytime!
Let's set the stage for all to dismay
Down in a hole, so damp and so cold
There you awake while chained to a grate
Here the cameras will roll
You're the star of the show!
You scream at the screen when you see yourself on the feed!
You'll never escape from this place!
At least not the way you'd appreciate
Your audience awaits! Eager to get their fill!
The more that you resist will add thrill to the kill!
The corner of your eye, your captors begin to appear, all dressed in black with pig-skin masks, go-pros and prods for herding steer!
Won't stop till you drop!
Built to enslave and showcased through cyberspace!
This dungeon seeps with the cries of broken dreams!
Your deafening shrieks, savored for eternity!
Depraved yet discreet…
That's the snuff!

Infernal Youth

You can scream, sweet Holly
Just like Alice did when
Cropsey said,
"No one floats down here!"
No pain is no gain
Every tear and every stain
From cradle to table
I'm carving out my name!
Always kiss, never tell!
Even deeper down the tunnel goes
Claw marks drag across tattered clothes
The Willowbrook turned catacomb
Overtime as the case goes cold
The children never grow old!

He Who Gnaws
02:36
|

A ravening chill haunts these woods at night
As a romantic cabin trip goes awry!
Peering out the window pane,
You see two burning eyes stare back with gnashing teeth!
"Kasakew Wihtikow!"
Eternal quest for human flesh!
From the darkness comes an
unholy ancient beast of famine!
Run for your lives!
There's nowhere to hide!
You run out back as it kills your lover inside!
You break for the trees but it's gaining speed
No one can hear the screams!
When the wind blows cold, it's hunger grows
It's the feast that should never be!
(Bereft of life, it craves thine for all time!)
I'll swallow your soul
As I tear the meat from your bones!
The last thing you will ever see

The Hand That Feeds

Inside a mil-tech research lab
Cages groan with howls of despair!
Animals endure unspeakable acts,
to satisfy the scientific curiosity
of man!
Taken away!
Family pets, rats, circus bears, and strays!
Modified!
Mechanically enhanced and trained to kill on sight!
Now stronger and faster, a spell for disaster!
Cybernetically altered!
The tortured turn on their masters!
Now we rise!
To punish your wicked lives!
It's too late!
Our interface has sealed the gates!
Mauled and disemboweled!
We never forgot! We remembered it all!
There is no god!
In this hell that you wrought!

Swarm Born

Beneath the city streets
of a bleak dystopia
The drum of beating wings
echo through pipes and halls!
As above so below,
The race of life never slowed
Decades to bathe in chemical waste,
insects grow at alarming rates!
Parasitoid Apocrita
begin to turn their gaze on us!
To host their new larval brood,
they gestate to pupate
and burst out from our husks!
From the depths they come!
To reap what we sowed!
Blessed are the meek!
Pincers clamp to subdue,
they sting to immobilize you!
Venom floods into your spine
to dull your mind!
Their young bore inside to devour what they find!
Vital organs for last to keep you alive!
You can't scream but you feel everything!

In a distant dark future,
the race of mankind have now turned to
the stars after they have drained
the earth of resources!
Blasting and cracking! Space freighter with lasers
mining and extracting materials from dead worlds.
Your crew warps to survey a rogue moon
This proves to be a grave error!
The ship undocks the excavators, autonomous mech-harvesters.
Drills pierce through the mantle
to reveal it's all hollow!
Under the craggy layer
something awakens
from its sedation
Now released from its prison
Tentacles erupt to reclaim all that's forsaken!
Sirens start to ring and are followed by the screams
As giant razor claws begin to tear through the hull!
You slide across the floor just passed a closing door
The airlock leaves the dead to the vacuum of space!
Engines ripped apart by great colossal arms
Bodies set adrift are pulled down to many mouths!
You eject in a pod as a last ditch escape
beyond the gaping maws of a cosmic elder beast
Man should have left asleep!
You call for aid but the signal's to faint!
Watch all hope slip light years away!
No help will come for you, this is your tomb!

Tempestarii Miasmata

Traversing above the troposphere
A shadow looms as formations appear
Ominous incandescence churns a mammatus sky
As doom pours down with the rain!
Death soaks into the ground and runs afoul
As a glowing mist billows out!
The horror creeps into nearby towns
Panic ensues among primal sounds!
Inhabitants writhe in pain
as their bodies break and mutate!
Monstrosities take their place
Attacking in blind rage!
They're breaking in!
Killing all within!
Those who survive,
Metamorphosize
and the carnage begins again!
Bones snap and bend
Arms stretch with claws at the end
Eyes drip into slits
Teeth grow serrated tips
I start to scream as I feel myself
becoming one of them!
Awakening primordial genes
From rabid heterotopy
Atavistic malignancy!

Come forth into the light, curious traveler
On this blessed night, we gather by fire
The stars are aligned, this is the hour
Old runes read the signs
Blood moon rises to rend the heavens
Vengeful Beacon!
Behold!
His time has come
at last!
Disciples close in and surround,
restrained, you're pinned to the ground!
"His strength is our strength"
You writhe but your limbs are bound
Hot iron pressed hard to leave his mark
"Cursed flesh born anew"
Hoisted and staked by the flames
They chant in tongues and call his name
"All hail great Asag!"
Atop your head they placed a crown,
adorned with skin, teeth, and bones!
Dark blood drips down your brow,
now anointed by his nameless ones!
Hear us!
Lord of blight and endless night!
Take this sow
as your vessel to cross into the living world!
Bring us honor!
Bestow us with knowledge
Reveal your wealth of secrets!
Crush those who oppose us
With drought and famine!
You feel it, his presence is taking over!
Your body, convulsing with malice and power!
Visions of horror and eons of torture,
you watch in terror as the light fades to black!
I have come!
Bow before me!
I am death
everlasting!
I am
emptiness!

All good things must now come to an end
In its ruin is where our toils begin
(Thou ask, thou shalt receive)
What lies behind the mortal sheath?
(If death is but a gate)
Hideous laughter chimes grim reality
There's no peace
(We)
'Mongst the stars
(Will)
Sea of souls
(Dine)
Flail and moan
(Forever)
All that you have seen crushing your beliefs, killing you is a waste!
A parting gift
We'll let you live
Not for mercy
But to
Sustain your pain and suffering
Haunt every moment of your waking days!
Everywhere you turn
You'll see the rotting face of the endless death
That patiently awaits!
Our herald!
"Oh god please don't!"
Bears the mark!
"Just let me go!"
When the light goes out we'll find you and drag you into the dark!
You hear us calling
We will be waiting
