I see them creeping in the dark Memories I can not seem to shake These demons of my youth, they leave their mark Reminding me of every damn mistake These demons they haunt me still Reminders of every lesson learned Try to outrun them, but they move in for the kill These demons are the scars that I've earned The heartache and the tears I’ve cried The fights I’ve had with those I love The demons of my past they won't subside They've got a hold on me, can't rise above These demons, they make me ill Reminders of the bridges burned Try to forget them, but their sway I feel And they keep ruling my world. But I just won't give up this fight I will rise above, restart I’ll face my demons, make them right Let healing take over my heart These demons come and go at will Reminders of what I’ve deserved I try to embrace them, the void to fill Their impact now I understand. I'll walk with them, for a while Eventually on the other side Strength in my heart, grace in my smile Now in these demons I confide.

Mundane people passing by Painted in blood I see the sky From horizon's gloom The impending doom An eerie scream's scattered across Dissolving into chaos. I felt the agony rise up in me Keeping my existence loyal company I was bemused and closed my ears Trying to escape from my fears But the unending scream Just kept getting more extreme The black shadow That I well know Has captivated the hole Belonging once to my soul My whole body is now racking The pain of nature in my blood is running I wonder is our suffering The destination of being? Struggling to understand Is death the great end? Is he the great relief From this uneartly grief? Nostalgic for what's now long gone Ignorant of the coming dawn I know that I am now dead My disease I comprehend Under a veil of darkness Appearing to be harmless When there is only the moonlight The scream I hear every night The scream in all its glory Of my eldritch worry The scream that in every instance Is the fey angst of my existence.

Risen from darkness, I have returned The underneath inferno I have truly spurned Given a second life, I fight again With darkness and its virtues I go against the grain. Chaos fuels my fire, destruction now reigns Hate filled storms churn, my soul’s in flames My fire flickers, my power soars I’m igniting life from the hellish shores. As my darkness grows, I am reborn Back to the surface, that is so timeworn Given an unexampled strength I’ve never seen And only my darkness is genuine and keen. My demons haunt me, each other we confront My faith’s replaced by a tormented taunt In the blazing depths, surrounded by sin Had to fight hard for my journey to begin. The heat was rising up, as the devil grinned All I could see was darkness, but sailed against the wind Reborn from hellfire I found my truth Arising from the ashes, my fears I soothed. I sought out the shadows, and learnt to embrace The darkness that once frightened me, now’s my safe place I found beauty in chaos, and strength in my pain Arising from the depths, my own hell will obtain. No longer held back by fear, and oh what a sight I’m finally at ease, certain about my might At last my heart is free, my spirit is alive Reborn from hellfire, and ready now to thrive.

On the vertex and the only view Is of chaotic residue Your only company up there Will be the air of despair. A dystopia from which no one can flee No happiness at all, no glee. And no future will now remain Every glimpse of innocence’s in vain. Only in the dark and dismal night, A spark of the hereafter’s insight The air of despair and no zest A permanent weight on my chest. A weight so hard to suppress. A dense fog of hopelessness Surrounding me, sucking me in No longer can the sun be seen. In the shadows I am adrift The air of despair’s my only gift. Cries of pain in the air, Broken souls without a care. For the future of mankind Is left in the hands of the blind. The disintegration of humanity Is now an everyday reality. The air of despair in every breath A future stinking of death Finally it is the time to say goodbye In the land where all hope came to die.

Once a paradise, this blue orb so divine Now tarnished and scarred, a fading design A world intoxicated, consumed by its greed The downfall of mankind, a tragedy indeed Oh, how the Earth has become scary Lost in the chaos, an abyss so worthy As civilizations crumble, in every breath a lament , And in this despair, it seems that God has left. Skies once adorned with stars, now obscured by smoke, Nations torn apart, their unity a cruel joke. Greed and power blinded us, manipulation at its peak, Leaving Mother Earth wounded and weak. In the ruins we gather, searching for a sign, But the heavens stay silent, their divine benign. Have we strayed too far, beyond the point of grace? Is it too late for redemption, can we still find solace? Once fruitful lands now barren, oceans teeming with plight, Species facing extinction, a devastating blight. Injustice and indifference, casting shadows on the land, A shattered reflection of God's failing guiding hand. In the depths of night, where shadows loom, A darkness descends, a chaotic gloom. Mankind's troubled hearts, with malice imbued, Unleashed upon this world, a sinister view. Ambition blinds, can't see the cost, In a reckless pursuit, morality is lost. Oh, the somber melody that echoes through, The darkness and chaos of mankind anew. Once upon a time, in a world so divine, Mother Earth, a beauty once, a sight so fine, But as time went by, humans fell astray, Forgetting the harmony we once had, day by day. We played with fire, not realizing the result, Ignored nature's whispers, our actions an insult, Taking more than we gave, a reckless spree, Now we're haunted by the consequences we failed to see

I'm lost in the void, feeling kind of strange The world seems meaningless, everything's in vain I'm tired of living, there’s not a single change Negativity has got me feeling so insane Existential nihilism, it's taking over me I am now drowning in the darkest sea I'm done with all the hope, my time I bide My mind is empty, the abyss my guide The sky's turned gray, the world's a mess I'm searching for a purpose, embarking on a quest But all that I’m feeling’s despair and distress Haunted by my thoughts, they won’t let me rest Existential nihilism, it's like a cell in jail I'm trying to find hope, but to no avail I am now drowning, but know that ain’t right My heart is empty, the abyss my light No more dreams, no ray of hope Everything's an illusion, I just can't cope The void's getting bigger, but I'm not feeling scared Hopelessness is my salvation, my only friend Existential nihilism, I’m now its devotee I'm drowning in the darkness to a great degree I'm done with all the hope, but I’m feeling free My soul is empty, the vast nothing is the key Gaze into the mirror, reflect upon our skin, Finding solace in the chaos that lies within, For what is existence but a cosmic joke? As laughter turns to tears, we begin to provoke In the depths of despair, where minds wander away, A shadow looms over the light of everyday, The vanity whispers from the depths of our souls, Rejecting the truths that society molds

Deep into the night’s dark Of wisdom there’s not a spark Secrets of life and death combined A path not for the weak of mind Darkness falls upon our sight The grasp of death we must fight With acuity the night is rife We're lost in the occult of life And behind the veil of mystery The grasp of every ancient history Spirits and demons intertwine Our souls we must align Darkness falls upon our eyes The grasp of death still in disguise Of acuity the night is full We're lost in the occult’s rule In the depths of the black void All the lies are being destroyed Unseen secrets the night reveals Everything that the day conceals Darkness falls upon the land The grasp of death we must withstand Acuity of the night is real We're lost in the occult’s appeal In the end we’ll come to light With the knowledge of the night We must seek the truth to find And leave all ignorance behind In the shadows of the night, a sinister might Whispers carry through the air, a tale of eerie sight Where the Devil seeks his power The witches dance, a twisted romance Where darkness meets desire, in the Devil's trance Beware the whispers, heed the ominous call For the devil shall claim them all
9.
And there I was Lost in the middle of the night Looking at the empty houses Damn night and darkness I pledged my soul to hell Songs were heard during the nighttime And I felt the joy of the caress A skull spoke to me And then I smelled death Beautiful and lively girls By the evening they will be dead And before the crack of dawn You will be without a soul I drink death in a glass But I'm not doing him any favors Come you too to the house Where death found me. We lament with dirge and cries Now that I've closed my eyes Finally this is my moment Dirt my body now will cover Goddamn earth Nothing good ever to find you Flames to cover your children And darkness your heart Like a shadow in the night I came and looked but I didn't find you I sent shouts and gods But you don't listen Staring at the window Ready to fall off the cliff My mind was racing And the vultures my salvation they did eat
10.
In the grand scheme of things were but a fleeting breath With the universe indifferent to our pain and our strife Were lost in an endless cycle of birth decay and death Left grasping in the dark struggling for a foothold in life Metaphysical musings leave us dizzy with doubt Are we just specks of dust lost in a cosmic storm We ponder our existence trying to figure it all out Is there some greater purpose a reason why were born Morality is but a concept a human invention Were left to navigate a moral maze with no end In a world that knows no justice no divine intervention All while struggling to comprehend the irrelevance of our trend Political fraud reigns supreme in the age of decay The world is but a stage our leaders are just playing their part As we watch them squander our future away We suffer the consequence of their greed and vain heart The grand scheme of things and as much as well evolve Still wandering in the darkness of the unknown searching for the light Were lost in a labyrinth of doubt a puzzle that we cant resolve Hoping to break free from the endless cycle of day and night

about

''In the end, after all is said and done, there is only darkness. No light, no hope, just the endless void of nothingness. Life, with all its complexities, is simply a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of things. It means nothing. Everything we do, all the struggles, the love, the laughter, and the pain- it's all for nothing.

We strive to achieve, to find purpose and meaning in our existence, but it's all an illusion. In the end, nothing we do matters, and we are all destined to the same fate, death. Death is the only real thing in this world. It is always waiting, looming in the shadows, ready to snatch us away.

The universe doesn't care about us. It is indifferent to our struggles, our beliefs, and our ideas. Our egos and our sense of self-importance are meaningless. All of our efforts and accomplishments will eventually fade into nothingness, forgotten by time.

Many try to find solace in religion, but they offer no real answers. There is no ultimate meaning to existence, no grand design, no benevolent god watching over us.

In the end, all we can do is accept our fate. We can find solace in the fact that we will eventually be swallowed by the great void and become one with the universe. Until then, we must live our lives with the knowledge that everything we do is ultimately meaningless.
