When you stumble through the shadows and the smoke
When you freeze before you take another turn
In a city of seduction, where forgotten children choke
There are secrets you were never meant to learn
And a demon who will break you as you burn
In the chaos of your nightmares he will find you
In the corridors of pain he creeps behind you
In the shiver of your skin
There is emptiness within
In the unprotected hollows of your heart
He is waiting for your fears to fall apart
There is damaging addiction in your brain
There is nothing you can do to heal the harm
In the everlasting torment of unfathomable pain
He will tempt you with the treason of his charm
With illusions too deceptive to disarm
In the chaos of your nightmares he will find you
In the corridors of pain he creeps behind you
In the shiver of your skin
There is emptiness within
In the unprotected hollows of your heart
He is waiting for your fears to fall apart
When his whispers call you brother
When he flatters like no other
When he offers you the nourishment you need
You will thank him for the fear on which you feed
He’s the puncture of the needle through your skin
He’s the price of every powder, every pill
As you feel his eager fingers find the sickness of your sin
When he sees you won’t survive without the thrill
When you try to hide he knows you never will
In the chaos of your nightmares he will find you
In the corridors of pain he creeps behind you
In the shiver of your skin
There is emptiness within
In the unprotected hollows of your heart
He is waiting for your fears to fall apart
When he preys upon your weakness
In the paralysing bleakness
In the unprotected hollows of your heart
He is waiting for your fears to fall apart
In the shiver of your skin
He will always find the emptiness within

An Empire of Despair
by Nick Gisburne
Crawling in a corner of creation
Waiting for a toxic twist of time
He is more than just a monstrous aberration
In the psychedelic slime
He is patient as he contemplates his crime
When the chaos breeds him
When corruption feeds him
When he understands the sickness he can share
He begins to build an empire of despair
Fathered by a thousand desecrations
Spawning in a suicidal sea
In a lake of undigested violations
He is eager to be free
As he dreams of what his wickedness will be
When the chaos breeds him
When corruption feeds him
When he understands the sickness he can share
He begins to build an empire of despair
In the horror of his breath
In the majesty of death
In the suffering of everything he sees
His blood will bring the future to its knees
Surging from a septic resurrection
Feasting on the worthless and the weak
There is beauty in the pain of his perfection
Every mutilated freak
Every crippled servant kneels to hear him speak
With a whispered word he dooms them
As his appetite consumes them
In his empire of despair
There is nothing but the suffering they share
When the chaos breeds him
When corruption feeds him
He is evil
He is endless
He will strip the blackness bare
When his body breathes the fear-infected air
In the ashes of an empire of despair
