there is a chasm in the earth you never see, a wasteland of despair wrought from the wounds you carve into the landscape to feed your fleeting desires. in the absence of light, we fade away to ghosts. a haunting that will purge all your incisions and drag you to the precipice. no paradise awaits you. shadows passing through every meaningless moment like the walls of ruins. from collapsed lungs I breathe rust into your shelter. swimming through the pain, let no sacred space remain. reaching out to a blackened sky that lets you sink, swallowed by the scars you turned away from. when you once again wear your mask of indifference, I will rip your dimming eyes from your shattered skull and turn them towards the pooling blood within your footprints. I will break the hands that tip the scales in your favor to watch you fall into the pit, nothing more than dead weight. no paradise awaits you.

"he had a weapon", no he fucking didn't. "he was resisting", I don't fucking give a shit. one of these days you'll turn off your goddamn body cam in the wrong place and then your wife won't get body slammed. 40% burnt. the pen is mightier than the sword when it writes down fascist words from behind a blue wall covered in red. replace it all with a wall made of the dead. the pen is mightier than the sword only as long as we allow it. if your presence isn't meant to protect us, I choose to live without it. it's not enough to send these fucking pigs to prison. reality is warped by their fiction. it's not enough to send these fucking pigs to prison. we're only safe when their skulls are caved in. thirteen twelve send them to hell. there'll be no evidence left after your death knell. no trace of fingerprints or dental forensics. there's no reforming this, purge your sickness. fuck a thin blue line. euthanize the swine. judge, jury, and executioner. turn the tables, you are no more.

9th Circle 03:05
three points in pink fading to gray, circumscribed by treachery descending into dawnless night, motionless without sound, without hope, without escape. epidemic of perfidy quarantined within the stagnant rot. disloyal shades become the straw within the glass, the prize of abandonment. invertebrate vermin burrow through the twisted realm eroding it's foundation seeking asylum in the bones of flesh devoured in an empty bargain of attrition. squalid futility. I want nothing more than to see you gripped by retribution and dragged into the frigid depths. penance served frozen in time and place, captive to unattainable atonement. bound to consequence buried in ice. awaiting an end that is never coming, no release from the hell you built yourself. caina, antenora, ptolomea, judecca. invertebrate vermin awaiting an end that will not come. bound to consequence. I hope you bleed forever.

about

Nearly four years in the making, Absence Of Light is both a pressure valve and a diagnosis of the ills of the world. Scathing indictments of topics ranging from police violence (Protect And Serve and Twisted Roots), to homophobia and transphobia (Self-Destruct, Tide Of Loathing, and Sentenced), to defiance of these issues (Garden Of Scorn) are on full display with no minced words, nailed to the door of society with all the malice and aggression deserved. Absence Of Light is a collection of anthems for underdogs and Sentenced makes the prescription for injustice on such a scale clear; "If violence is the only path towards peace then you have made my choice." This album is an earnest attempt at distilling and returning violence to the abusers and oppressors of the world.
