Ira (wrath) 08:12
Through the dark of night a serpent stalking prey Passing through the mist focusing my rage Fury boiling from within becomes unhinged It festers to the surface spewing forth revenge Violence…is what I seek Vigilance…no stopping me Adrenaline…is how I feed Imminent…hatred released Moving closer now with calculated spite Placing blame, taking aim I’ve got you In my sights You will not get away you have nowhere to run A splash of red the flash of lead my vengeance shall be done Violence…is what I seek Vigilance…no stopping me Adrenaline…is how I feed Imminent…fade to red In the darkness anger fed As the seeds of hatred spread Draining all morality Replaced with brutality The act committed and the punishment is due The end complete, wrath inflicted pure and true Enter now the river Styx its waters stained and dank Dismembered and made whole again to rot within its banks Violence…is what I seek Vigilance…no stopping me Adrenaline…is how I feed Imminent…fade to red In the darkness anger fed As the seeds of hatred spread Draining all morality Replaced with brutality Now the seam is torn to shreds Rationality is dead Malice cured by victims bled Left an empty hole instead

Take a good hard look and tell me what you see View my perfection jealously In the mirror my reflection says it all Lovingly sculpted not a flaw…you’re in awe. You know I’ll never see, anything but me All I will ever be, is hollow All who look on me will never be the same Your ugliness will be your shame The body is a temple kneel before mine Behold my splendor I’m divine….by design! A hollow shell of vanity is what you are Your beauty has become your scar Emptiness and self-absorbed is all you feel And you’ll be broken on the wheel…under heel….on the wheel.

What is given I will take it’s all within my reach Consume all and covet thee with treason never breached Never shall you want from thee all that I cling too Can’t you see it’s all for thee, never some for two Serving thy self, earthly desires Now walk with me, in Purgatory Penitents weeping Bound to your greed you shall bleed Spinning forth a web of lies manipulate the truth Undermine to drink the wine and feed from underneath All I want is all you have what’s mine is never yours With open hands I grasp for all, all there is and more Serving thy self, earthly desires Now walk with me, in Purgatory Penitents weeping Bound to your greed you shall bleed Mundus est non satis. Dolo, ego omnia tibi Hoard the wealth and bleed them dry, taking all you can Rampant avaratia, rapacity of man Betrayal of excessiveness, now you shall be bound See the earth for what it’s worth, with eyes unto the ground Serving thy self, earthly desires Now walk with me, in Purgatory Penitents weeping Bound to your greed you shall bleed

Break the crust from my heavy eyes Heavy is the burden, so I don’t try Restless and aware but I don’t care Leave it all right there in disrepair And it seems I don’t know if I Care enough to save my soul before I die And it always stays the same Venture nothing, nothing gained When my back’s against the wall It don’t bother me at all Shouting my commands with idle hands Touting all my plans, hear my demands My mind full of dreams and grand schemes Finding all I need in my apathy And it seems I don’t know if I Care enough to save my soul before I die And it always stays the same Venture nothing, nothing gained When my back’s against the wall It don’t bother me at all When it all goes to hell with the strike of a death knell And all my years are spent, opportunity came and went I never would help myself, left that to someone else No legacy to persist, it’s like I didn’t exist Gasping in the sludge of blackened mud Muffled are you pleas from up above Dwelling on the bottom for eternity Get back what you’ve given, absolutely nothing

Speak … All lips are sealed, looking to find what I Seek … Wanting and waiting with temptation guiding I’m Weak … Cannot control, emotion taking its Toll … Burning within, to have you again and its Gnawing, Clawing My willpower fails Tearing asunder its pulling me under, your mine Need …Carnal desire, flesh is on fire, I Feed … On all the pleasures, lying within and I Bleed … To taste your skin, seeping from every Pore … Aching for more, feel me inside Trust is derailed, plot is unveiled to all In your mind I plant the seed Reaping what I sow When the seed has taken root Body, mind and soul … growing Feed it with my wickedness Nourish with desire Drain the nectar from its fruit And bathe me its fire … glowing Self immolation its bringing me down to my knees Lust … Forsaking others, even your God Above … Questions are versed with answers rehearsed and you Shove … Away the truth, with nail and tooth you Deny … coerce and deceive, spiraling lower your Twisting, Turning Through the winds of Hell Smothered in fire, watching the flames getting high

Look at my accomplishments, all I have achieved Anything you’ve ever done will never equal thee Looking down at little people I soar high above Always one step higher I will keep them under thumb Superior…born to succeed Inferior…all are to me Arrogance…hubris unleashed Absence…of all humility Never to be second best Better than all of the rest Delusions of grandeur persist, the Illusion of being important Superbia! Superbia! Execution of my skill with cunning mastery All the competition is demeaned so viciously I’ll break their spirit to raise myself higher Trample them under foot to feed my own desire Superior…born to succeed Inferior…all are to me Arrogance…hubris unleashed Absence…of all humility Never to be second best Better than all of the rest Delusions of grandeur persist, the Illusion of being important Superbia! Superbia!

Never do I get my fill, must consume until I’m ill And then with my plate restored, lick it clean and ask for more Now the taste is on my lips No escape I’m in the grips of ecstasy and slavery Your feeding exceedingly Stuff your mouth and chew For Cerberus is bleeding thee His red eyes stare through…staring right through you Selfishly I take from you, coveting thy neighbors food Lavishly I dine again, cleanse the palate with my sin Fill my gullet to the brim Choking on the excess I devour anything I can It’s putrid and wreaking Faith cant wash you clean Your filthy and sinking Foul rain covering….covers everything The hunger never fades, and all your hope betrayed To watch you eat away the only chance you ever had of Life, spiraling out of control Death, closer with every swallow Cost, weight of your soul is the price Lost, hunger within is the vice Step inside, have a seat, welcome to the feast Prepared just for you, courtesy of the beast I’ve been watching you, savor every taste I see the weakness, see when your faith is misplaced And here you stay with me, in the putrid rain Covered in the filth and purified by the flames
