Shadow & Flame

by Acherontia Styx

/
1.
See within, vacuum of lust Soaked in sin, breathless, bound and broken. He consumed her, but she consumed his darkness back. Their thirsts cannot be quenched. Ripped and revealed she feasts on her agony. Through nightmares drenched in pleasures of her flesh. Joy, all consuming, pierced by the blade. Pain everlasting, is this what she craves Peeled and punctured, gyrating in fear. Torn and butchered, through post orgasmic tears… …Betray, arching waves of pain. Slashed and flayed, pulsing raw and carnal. Every nerve alight in ecstasy she pleads for one more wound to penetrate and bleed her dry. Twisted in submission yielding everything she transforms from his toy emerging pain refined. Fear envelops all who gaze into her sinful glazed and shining eyes, they claim you as their own. Incurable obsession on the fringe of sanity, a guide into the depths of you.

Evolution 05:18
None of us will survive this machine virus inside us Encoded and infected from day one Can’t see lies through digital eyes We stare into the sun Hate deletes my soul from existence Hollow, subservient  We’re kept alive Memories fade We’re kept alive Memories die We’re kept alive Memories rewritten Brain sealed inside, a synthetic crime  We’re workers and drones in a machine hive mind. Brutal extraction of the human core The masses are willing to become no more Oppressive gears will never stop turning  Destroyed to keep the fires of their army burning  Support comes from the weak and the lost Glad to lose themselves for a misguided cause  Ground under iron boots and fists The only thing left for us is to resist We’re kept alive Memories die Brain sealed inside, a synthetic crime (Low-fi) Brain sealed inside, a synthetic crime  We’re workers and drones in a Machine hive mind. Brutal extraction of the human core The masses are willing to become no more Oppressive gears will never stop turning  Destroyed to keep the fires of their army burning  Support comes from the weak and the lost Glad to lose themselves for a misguided cause  Ground under iron boots and fists The only thing left for us is to resist We’re kept alive Memories dead

Floating Skin burning Blood swimming Never getting out alive Yet I dive I am not in control Fire And nausea Hysteria These feathers guide my journey Unnerving A dream of meat and bone Smothered in flesh, enveloped I scream, as the night consumes me, rip me from my dreamscape Is a nightmare She cried My name into the void Came to life And snatched her from my cursed embrace Into The Vurt (repeated) In squalid streets Rivers of glass Shadows drifting Round tears of loss See me I feel you I hear you Screaming out from the venom Of the viper That sank teeth into you sister Fight for me Free yourself Ascend from dreams with knowledge And power Bathed in golden light.

Scorned! I breathe Then I cry My shame reborn An angel scorned I stalk alone in darkness The scars of fallen youth There will be no forgiveness Only a blood-soaked truth I breathe Then I cry My shame reborn An angel scorned The girl I was was broken Shattered beyond repair The evils left unspoken  Through matts of tangled hair Abused into my sickness I tear away the stitches Arousal of the darkness It tickles when it itches Revenge bore out of pleasure The torment tightly tied A goddess born of terror The day that a frightened little girl died. Through sweat and tears is silence My war fought in my mind Unified in compliance Of lust and wrath defined Streak of light Goddess of flame Wrath is born The angel's scorned.

Repulsive reflection A monster is made Human dissection The voices fade Look at me Tell me what i am Worship me Through your eyes of glass Your eyes of glass Teeth clenching I become adored Guts wrenching Perversion explored Tears of blood Ecstasy surpassed Worship me Through your eyes of glass Your eyes of glass. I touch you Quiver in despair I own you  Resurrected stare You are mine I will make you change Reborn Deformed and deranged Witness me Rip apart your past Worship me Through your eyes of glass Your eyes of glass.

Tomb stench sickness, howl for forgiveness Eviscerate the soul, as above, so below Dragged to your grave, the mindless slave Vitriol doth flow, as above, so below Two by two they march, to the grave Forever the fallen, forever the slave The Empire may fall, ruled by the insane Raise the fist, raise the blade Spit venom, the rage Burn you down, erased Ascension of aggression Lord of Flies in a world of lies. The corrupted, dissolved in acid, a solution of hate Distilled into a spirit, drink to your false god. Poison words from a forked tongue Remove the hearts and lungs Despise their disguise Rip out the page from the book of lies Tomb stench sickness, howl for forgiveness Eviscerate the soul, as above, so below Dragged to your grave, the mindless slave Vitriol doth flow, as above, so below Sever the head of the serpent Never bend the knee, never repent Kill the king, ruler of lies Laid in a pool of blood, maggots and flies.

No pleas will reverse your fate Locked in a hole, each cut you feel I'll starve your flesh from you I will skin, strip and peel See your blood clinging to me Smooth, unblemished and divine  I am your god, a mirror of you Your pretty face is mine Precise cuts to strip your hide On a slab, devoid of sympathy  Each scream arouses me As I consume your identity Peel away all that you are I have been born anew You are a meat byproduct  I make a more beautiful you Tears sting your exposed nerves You are one of a privileged few To spend your final. moments Watching me dressed in you.

The mind stalker, bringer of my madness Death walking horror, the lycan huntress Monster in the woods, fangs of sadness Eviscerate, the absence of blood Venom of the darkness Claws pierce your mind, sorrow burns you blind Beast attacks you from behind, eyes burn in the night Soul rots from the blight, fight the fight with all of your might Signs sent to warn us, beast hides in corners We are our own executioners False smile on your face, demon gives the chase Forced to escape this place Fuck you and your plans, dirty your own hands (repeat) The mind stalker, bringer of my madness Death walking horror, the lycan huntress Monster in the woods, fangs of sadness Eviscerate, the absence of blood Venom of the darkness You’re going to have to shut down my organs I won’t kill myself for your fucking gains These dark thoughts, a hurricane of pains Emperor of misery that no longer reigns. You’re going to have to shut down my organs I won’t kill myself for your fucking gains These dark thoughts, hurricane of pains Emperor of misery that no longer reigns. The thoughts drive me insane Wrap the best in chains I will no longer endure to feign We are so much stronger We belong here Never feed its insatiable hunger We are so much stronger We belong here Never feed its insatiable…

I wished for the stars Prayed for their flames Burned by its passion I shielded my heart Extinguished the fire Denied myself its light I did not forsake it Cherished all its beauty Adoration in the darkness The rainbow flickering Reflections lick the air Were ashes dancing in the abyss Forever broken, we break again. I bleed out, this blackened serenade. This broken heart Shatters again At glimmers beneath the remains Tricks of the light, betray my eyes Illusions in embers All that it was, crumbles to dust No phoenix to rise. No tears, the inferno consumed Created, more than it destroyed. Its blinding light engulfing, and burning all it touches. I mourn, each moment I breath Bathing in my own regret A river of fears, flowing nowhere. A lake in which I'll drown. One last taste of sweetness Before it slips away A final moment of warmth, before the end.
10.
I draw a line on her burning trembling flesh. Each stinging impact, robs her of breath. Feel my icy hands touch you. Caress you to your core. She gives herself to me Through tears she begs for more. Choked down to the limits Arousal in indignity. She smiles and pleads for cruelty Subservient fragility. Incurable obsession on the fringe of sanity, A guide into the depths of you.
