disturbed by phantom pains, a long forgotten feeling pulls at your heart strings. once they begin to snap. spit in my eye and call me a whore. Eight hours of sleep is no replacement for well made weaponry or your teeth and claws. just close your eyes. pretend you’re somewhere nice. i have become the anti. brother to the cold breaker of the mold. and you have taken the weakness. contracted the sickness. that’s somehow more vicious than wolves like me. feeble is the word you speak your philosophy so tongue and cheek, within this dark hour you'll bleed just like me. if you deny your hunger pains surely you will go insane so let’s get to business and paint the walls red. you can’t resist it any more it’s scratching at your chamber door so break the latch and let it in to crawl beneath your paper skin. the rage provides a hand to guide. the pain reminds you that you’re alive breaks through the numbness in this nerve damaged world as we all watch it burn cattle led to the slaughter baby I’m your martyr let’s play! apathy! it’s not my style. I’d much rather die on my feet. but now I’m slipping into your nightmare. and I’m craving your awful disease. blinding lights cut out my eyes unsure if i should laugh or cry i can’t stop shaking but it feels so warm. drunk on my own arrogance I’m flying with the seraphims but I’m not so convinced that this rooms not on fire so I! retreat! back to! the freezing night! i was almost bested by gravity, somehow i exist in this reality, i'll navigate the holes in morality never to live in fear of my mortality. instead i'll charge the field with my sword drawn, poised to fuck the great whore of babylon, my blade invokes the cry of her siren song, now i've had the best! how do i move on? if my axe was broad enough! if the blade was sharp enough! if all the cities had just one throat! than i could mercy kill the world! the stars! the moon, the sun! the false gods! and the wolves just like me! what have we become? sentient, evil bipedal scum! as you comfort me! with your warm guiding hands! you profess to me your love although! you can’t heal my faith! you can’t feel my hate so don’t try! © 2016 ireshrine

we’re all beautiful on fire perfection is ours as long as we burn her rose tinted vision provides a nice view sadly it’s been written in the stars that i must show her the awful truth this foul earth these sick people i won’t let them have you i won’t let them hurt you trust me darling it’s kinder this way you've blinded yourself to this vulgar display. life is a hunt and love is a whore and i am an apex carnivore my knife is sharp my senses are keen tonight i shake you out of this dream to gaze across a fertile plane of a world dying slowly in vain i’ve seen her twist with the ever changing winds it makes me sick the smile she wears to mask her pain she laughs with them loudly but i can’t see what’s funny about the stain on our culture a society taught to pick and choose replacing kindness with abuse we’re all just born to win or lose murder be my art and you my unfortunate muse you exist as a treasure among the trash i’m sorry my dear i love you too much to let you feel this world’s ugly wrath dissever my apathy now i shall thank you with my humble blade mark my words the last night of your life will be the night of your life we’re born thus we are shit out by our mothers unto this realm of filth some with a purpose however none by choice we can’t help it baby we’re beautiful scum like filigree patterns of blood and cum with me no place to hide nowhere to run follow my voice as i guide you into the sweet arms of oblivion intentions are noble yet so very grim don’t be afraid lover as the light starts to dim. breathe slow as i take you away. i delivered you from this hell thus you are mine forever. © 2016 ireshrine

somewhere between the cracks of my fractured conscience i have found my nemesis to be the man in the mirror friends i am hemorrhaging slowly from the stigmata i found so erotic at least i die in good company among liars and thieves like me i shall become the truly untouchable enduring the fires of this crucible i thought the only way was self flagellation my body and name they shall desecrate my silence and pride shall seal my fate now the only way is self martyrdom bind me to the crossbeam i bare the weight so gracefully i give my life so selflessly that’s why the bitchez love me now make me bleed crack that whip spill my seed slowly let me die the agony you would not deny this humble peaceful righteous radical common criminal emptiness fills the air followed by despair i cry out to god strike me down if you dare the parade on the hill where my blood will spill accompanied by wailing and sobbing so shrill without a protest or making a fist brother i’m no messiah just a sick masochist i stood aloft the precipice to gaze into the great abyss a shame that it has come to this i blow the audience a kiss bring on the sexy heretics with blood dripping from their lips to satisfy my throbbing dick the safety word is crucifix i feel myself slip away into the gashes you left on my back breathe your sin unto me thus you are forgiven intentions are noble yet so very grim but i feel no fear as the light starts to dim stick it in and break it off. i have become your perversion © 2016 ireshrine

6.	Lunatic King 04:09	lyrics	buy track
god’s flesh. an ideal canvas for his masterpiece. loveless. the void is his heart the ether his brain. sorrow. armies have fallen beneath his sword. vicious intent. he laughs like a jackal and feeds the world to his torch. run away there is nothing left for you here. burnt houses, and shallow graves. abandon hope as you find a way to disappear . the muffled cries are cursing your name and heart. as it breaks. the earth quakes. my hands shake. for fuck sake. my friend! as we breath. we all die. the end. its entertaining how. you still try. your claim. agonizing over your precious lie. this pain. was it worth it? your sacrifice. how should this end? with a song and dance? or just an epilogue of this sick tragedy. don't give up now. we’re having so much fun. we kill the hero off before the third act. then ill have enough fucking rope. to bind the fucking world. wash it all in gasoline and watch it fucking burn. and there is nothing that could stop it now. the crown upon my furrowed brow. and the throne is crashing to the ground. all hail the lunatic now i no longer feel hesitant. about the madness that I represent. I’ll let the fire help me make sense. long live the lunatic. but i know that this has just begun. there is nothing that can be undone. now it’s time we had a little fun. all hail the lunatic. Watch the peasants sifting through the ash. astonished by my ugly wrath. they cower when they hear my laugh. long live the lunatic. when I’m greeted by a righteous mob. it only makes my heart throb. im so flattered i join in their song. DEATH TO THE LUNATIC! you want justice for your many dead. so i gladly offer up my head. and i've only left one thing unsaid. damn it feels good to be a gangsta. © 2016 ireshrine

WE CAME FROM NOWHERE! BORN OF THE THIN AIR! a man without a nation. never seems to sleep. bound to the firmament. shackled by the sea. haunted by a ghastly call. restless voices scream. beckoning a viper’s kiss. offering reprieve. but that amnesty will fade away. with this forsaken day. will the tables rotate? and free us of this opiate. SICKNESS !!!! ANGER!!! SADNESS!!!! PAIN!!! DENIAL!!!!! FEAR!!!! complacency is a disease. comfort is killing you. i see apathy. i speak irony. i hear profanity. i eat hell. YOU WASTED OUR VIGOR!!! AND SHATTERED OUR HOME!!! WE'VE COME TO RELIEVE YOU OF YOUR GILDED THRONE!!! INSURGENTS REJOICING AS YOUR KINGDOM HAS FALLS!! BURN DOWN THE GATES AND TEAR DOWN THE WALLS!!! THE BALLET OF THIS ENTROPY OFFERS REBIRTH!!!! NEVER AGAIN TO FORGET WHAT WE’RE WORTH!!! AND WE WON’T FORGET JUST WHAT BROUGHT US HERE! IT’S THE SICKNESS! SADNESS! ANGER! PAIN! DENIAL! AND FEAR!!!!! Complacence! must die! it’s fucking party time. SISTERS. show me your war face. BROTHERS. shake that ass. MOTHERS. arm your children. FATHERS. eat hell. © 2016 ireshrine
8.	Revenge of The Fox 05:08	lyrics	buy track
as i fall to the ground my belly growls impregnated by the spirit of a long dead fox tearing clawing at my very core gravity acting as my saboteur in the dirt i kick and scream ain't that a fuckin shame slashed to ribbons as i fall apart feel her gnawing at my icy heart i have compromised nothing and still lost my identity wasting no time i paint the walls red choking on every sweet nothing that I've ever said the void in my heart is as vast as the sea i’ll die inside you if you die inside me burst through my stomach wall and be reborn into something beautiful violent angry and perfect drowning in promises and annoying clichés the lunatic has ushered in our darker days agonize on the lie of redemption and the truth of revenge unforgiving rage of which I've grown weary and just wish to end I'll laugh at your anger threw my bloody cough don't you fucking walk out you haven't finished me off breath soft and take me away. now my focus is on the sun the object of my hate and i shall speak without a tongue and feel the weight of my hell attempt to wipe the slate clean my hands soaked in blood please don’t ever ask me why i did it out of love i realize my frailty through gazing at my enemy now the stage is set for tragedy the irony is killing me but i do believe i've found a place within the fault lines of my disgrace where the shadows can conceal my face wander forever displaced my energy and time are spent so all i can do is lament upon my arrogance i now resent in the shadows i’m a nonevent still her howling carries through the night a reminder of her goddess might teeming with a vicious spite if you want the dark then kill the light hunted through a wasteland of my own creation my petty grief and regret feel just like masturbation with no release and no satisfaction shedding my humanity driven mad by my passion © 2016 ireshrine
9.	Imperfect Harmony 05:04	lyrics	buy track
clear blue skies hanging above my garden of death lifeless eyes litter this killing field from the right to the left rejoice upon this day spattered in blood i feel so alive i don't mind the decay I've thinned out the herd so the strong could survive so many at my feet the remains of a sacrifice fit for a god a carcass smiles at me i spoiled no child and spared no rod with great precision we laid to waste the wayward sacks of recessive traits the ingrates i was sent from on high to clean the slate for i am all man as i am no man the father of this wasteland a bastard of the sun rejected by death oh they cried out so beautifully in a symphony of agony i cherish all who perished and brought tears to my eyes no one left standing no subjects to kneel for the lunatic king no i set them free their now rotting corpses make great company i truly don’t know where all the pretty things go after i have killed them heaven or hell maybe they all come home behind the scorched earth veneer lies a brave new frontier a quiet lonely land now i shall contemplate all that i am a guiding hand an iron fist a well placed blade a loving kiss a guardian angel of death a maniacal laugh in the night or simply a waste of breath © 2016 ireshrine
10.	Dismal Infatuation 06:49	lyrics	buy track
beneath the surface of my passion so vile i force the living dead to drink of my bile a bitter wine indeed with a putrid bouquet a sickly sweet aroma laced with sex and hate a dire need i search for peace in this windowless room i find my fear has sealed the door and my anguish has made it my tomb no i wont i refuse to die here cold alone with a guilt laden atmosphere ill tear at the wall till the light appears ive abandoned all hope and yet i’m not pure i have grown tired with my desires insipid love is like pain it’s not offered it’s inflicted by the hand that feeds you the sickness i gouged out my third eye so how could i have predicted that this pattern would never fucking end or that this dismal infatuation would become my oldest friend. i lose myself so gracefully to the throes of ecstasy one thing’s perplexing just who is sleeping next to me. in solitude i was seething now i’m deaf from all the screaming i can’t stop the bleeding somehow i’m still breathing. existing without a history dying never having lived once again i am brought to the altar you could never heal my faith once again i am brought to the altar you could never feel my hate once again i am brought to the altar once again make me your martyr © 2016 ireshrine
