Dismantle

I sit upon your throne of ruin,
dismantled will of the divine.
With my legions of mind and thought
I have uncreated the creation!
Here lies the ghost of the world that once was;
spirit of goodness and grace, now begone!
Destroy the chains of preordination;
subject this all now to the mind of the deranged.
With my scepter of light and my sword of darkness
I shall merely destroy.
This path that was set aside for me is disgusting.
My soul is absent and the mind craves nothingness.
As in my mind, so it shall be.
A universe of chaos!
An earth of unholy thoughts!
The aether shall be replaced by void!
Nothing is as it seems, for everything is now nothing!
I wander the emptiness of my new world:
there is only mountain and snow.
Not even void can contain the whims of my frigid mind.
I cannot put the mind to rest, it will not cease;
I am subject to my innermost will.
All is as it should be.
As in my mind, so it is.

Ascension

To begin the ascension of self,
I offer unto thee these thoughts:
I am. I am. I am.
That is all.
I form these steps alone,
Ascend to that formless void:
A sacrificial altar within my unfettered mind.
Hear me, O spirits that shall now exist!
I bid you form from the aether of mind.
Take this as nourishment, use it as you will:
Flesh of the creator, despicable god.
I crown myself.
I am. I am. I am.
Go forth, my divine thoughtforms;
wreak havoc on those who would resist me.
Dismantle the universe.
I am not insane, rather I am the enlightened one.
I ascend as the lord of disorder
and take my rightful seat on the throne of a sad, disposed, accidental creator whom I have declared guilty!
I am. I am. I am.
I form my will into a mountainous palace
where I shall retreat once the purifying flames
have engulfed all traces of the old veneration.
There will be no memory of the worship;
thought is power, and these thoughts I abolish.
Lips sewn shut and stupefied minds shall not pray!

Downfall
05:05
|

Here I have brought you down,
forgotten one, in such disgrace.
My thoughts reach out to me from the void that lives within.
No one knows;
your name is dust.
This is the fate of the wretched king.
Crush my will in frigid blackness
'til my soul is ground to dust.
Only then will black disorder
reign in me and hence the world.
I rend your flesh from bone;
now I wear
this crown that you did make.
Here I rise as destroyer
through the chaos of the void.
In the night my true sun rises;
I emerge reborn
And now I soar above,
my greatest purpose fulfilled.
I have become the unmaker:
I shall tear down the will of god!
Soaring through the black unknown,
nothing shall escape my gaze.
Come to me and be unmade.
You deserve to fall.
Chaos only guides my hand.
Oh! My form begins to fade.
Only will remains of me;
now how shall you thwart me?
Behold my scythe
with which I cut away
this profane and insane
confabulation of purpose.
Destroy the passages of time;
time is not real, but a machination
to create the illusion of will.
All exists all at once.
The mind is all; my mind is all
and you, you are nothing.
Now I shall take my leave.
Farewell you wretched god.

Annunciation
03:53
|

|
Behold me! I am the one
who remade your world!
Bow down before me:
I have set you free.
Denizens of the prior world,
I loose you upon your masters.
We are one;
we are many.
We are the great multiplicity:
the great force of annihilation.
Come and be reborn
into the world I have made for you.
Become one with the abyss
and let disorder be your guide!
We are one;
we are many.
A legion of unmakers
tearing down the divine will.
Now silence!

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace!

This is hideous and distressing. Depressing, violent, and ugly. It makes me feel bad to listen to it. And I've enjoyed it thoroughly.
