Heavy and dense as a recurrent nightmare, the voice calls to me, taunting, insistent and relentless. There is a damp, dirty, mossy spot, underneath a yew tree, in the little village graveyard, and it’s waiting, just for me.

I speed up as the gates expand and become all that I see. They tempt, they beckon, but I accelerate away, the voice howls, screaming that I cannot run forever. Yes, I’ll be in your arms one day, rotting away to nothing, within the dank embrace of your wormy, cold, wet, clay thick muddy chamber, but not today.

Defeated, the voice is angry. I’ve escaped the despairing, defeated call of the other world. I scream at the tempter voice, you lose again, a clay thick gurgle is the response, a defiant animalistic rumble, and a reminder that the war will continue. Not today, you call me to my grave, but I keep on running. Your call is tempting, but I’m getting faster, faster, faster.

You beg, you plead, you howl, you throw out your thorny arms, the beautiful end of pain that is eternity, but all you catch is air, the trace of what I no longer am.

I keep running, not tiring, there’s no slowing down, not yet, your call entices, but your bed of eternity can wait. My race continues, at least for a while, as the rain sweeps down, drenching the soil, keeping it fresh, keen in anticipation for the inevitable feast of flesh that will surely, one day, come.


Song rating: 10/10 (Sludge, doom and decay, the relentless call of the grave)

You think that morality is an abstract concept, that it’s not at all relevant in your life, a word as meaningless as a political slogan, an advertising campaign for a new, healthier margarine/butter concept? There is no God, there is no meaning, there is no point to anything, so let us all enjoy family time in a cocoon, post it on a government surveillance platform, an idealised mawkish memory for when the tears won’t come anymore. What you do has no meaning, so why don’t you just buy into the nothingness? Get this, that, the other. Cut through in-line, suckers everywhere. I’m going to get my own before somebody beats me to the punch, but where is the pat on the head? I need to convince myself that the lie is real. Charity mate, begins at home, and ends there. Nothingness begins to fill up with cancerous worms, you look for a lie, give me a lie so I can feel secure in my own emptiness. Not the void, there is no void, there is no nothing, though nothing is nothing. To give money to a collection box, somebody retiring at work for a plaque, nobody cares, nobody minds, they all buy in. Will a quid salve the rotten maw of my avaricious fawning, mourning conscience? And the collective, for there is a collective, ROTS. Oh, how it rots, maggots and flies everywhere as the mass collects in little tribal groups, feeling good, but only about themselves, only about their own, not caring, not really caring about what is going on around them, but only, only, only if inconvenience slights. Lives lived in routines of empty, selfish nothingness, there is no pit, I won’t look, don’t want to see, till one day. Routine broken, turn around, face what was there all along, no longer a concept, now as real as your boring traffic jam. The pit, the abyss stares back, will no longer be denied. A life wasted, you are dragged into what was always there, a pit of reality, and the eternal resting-place for your carrion prey urine blanched soul.

Rating: 10/10 (Don’t stare, don’t ignore, acknowledge, change, speak truth)
