Appellation 02:12
Somewhere in Coma Berenices Formulas append themselves to fractured theory Algid like intellect And persistently intractable Swirling in ancient silence Phrases dart throughout The interstellar medium A vigintillion syllables Cascade as incantations The ebullient clouds of godforms Puncturing reality, puncturing existence Cortices bend and warp Under immense strain Proteins for inchoate larvae Extruded like feces.

Grief Urchin 02:46
His steps are dogged by blight Fearful eyes sinking into sockets Limbs disjointed, hollow bone Skin does drip from their fingertips Boulevards buckle under the weight Of austere yet cosmic indifference Men and gods alike will know Insolence, petulance Horizons loom Ominous and vast His gaze is hounded by doom And all herein will feel the swoon No decay without dismay No vocal cords to helplessly bray Air and rot meld into one Death throes under smirking Son

Reconstructing this genome Malleable, culpable still Reduced to cursory bits of data “I am blinking wryly with the iris of lore!” Detached from mine motherground Soul breached as penance for sentience Encapsulated, nay - insulated Soaking the atoms with pain Mine heart encased in meteor Mine discontent a distant solar flare Synthetic slumber o'er myriad eons In thine revolving orb Reconstituting their physiology Perplexing astral drift The earnest extraterrestrial acquisition Spewing and spurting malaise Through my rendition Of the homo-automaton Spewing and spurting Detaching then hatching

Vaccinated with vengeance In varying stages of decrepitude Ruthlessly shearing herd after human herd Through the membrane of the umbilicus Through the membrane of the umbilicus Past the illusion of maleficium Past the illusion of maleficium With antigen of cognizance I tempt these monastic slugs Their guilt reaches far, seeps low and clings deep And still, it cleaves the reason from my thought I deny I object I repulse I repudiate I recant I divulge I denounce I, the ultra-luminous I deny I object I repulse I repudiate I recant I divulge I denounce I, the ultra-luminous

Ebon horns herald the onset Of the third age of despair Eldritch forms scorch mountainsides With their dread stellar hooves The firmament shudders With all the madness Of extrasolar conquest Ia, ia! Cthulhu fhtagn! I can see through this fever dream I can't see through this fever dream I can see through this fever dream

Nilpulse 05:52
I hate you with all the fire Of nine thousand throbbing suns I loathe you with all the fury Of the vast, dense, dark expanse of space I rain shards of moons upon you Terran platitudes drowned out in a hail of Plasma, acid, bile, and graphite “These are the cold months These are the solstices Swelling with godlessness.” Down! Tendrils encircle the globe Tendrils encircle the globe Lacerate the astroamniotic sac Leaking matter and fluids Through the spiritual margins of existence Behold! Swarms of microorganisms Cybernetic microorganisms Descend! In tandem with tentacle In tandem with tentacle Ethereal maws a million in number Gnaw portals and cavities to distant planes of chaos Mothers breastfeed apostate embryos And goodwill is engulfed by delusion

The skies bulge Swelling, peeling As discs blot out all light Momentum is halted Armaments pivot and Hurl their projectiles In the direction of life Celestials swarm over vast distances Trails of mucus mark paths Through the devastation Drape the shawl of anxiety Across the whole of Pitiful Gaia Envelope this sputtering biosphere And immunize the boulder With ancient genetic toxins Phlegm upon scythe into tissue Phlegm upon scythe into tissue Phlegm upon scythe into tissue Fire upon blade and into flesh Suffuse this glorified asteroid With lunacy Oceans of fluid drip from the sky The lubricant of unseen vessels Hidden behind banks of grey exhaust Lumbering, shuddering cloud shapes Warped by the re-entry of said ships Landmasses liquefy in wave after wave Of unforgiving heat
