Control, relapse, remiss Follow, collapse, dismiss Not until the scent of death You shift your disposition Only momentarily, because you're weak Even in struggle, a blind eye to the scheme Control, relapse, remiss Follow, collapse, dismiss Not until the stench of flesh You grieve for a moment Loaning a false sense of compassion Between four walls, the stench grows on you
2.
The skull brittle with traces of man's touch Imprints of pain inflicted due to failure An experiment gone wrong, but it is wrong from the beginning Eye sockets, long bereft of their contents Leading to the cavernous recesses behind Teeth, broken from struggle and forced jawing Blood in an accompanying vial, trophy of pride at its worst Blood Moon showing itself Your slumber spells your fate Like your plunders each day Skull reanimating with vengeance Neck, soon plunged by dead teeth Brains ooze from every orifice No longer needed, body surrenders The animal reanimate usurps your body Dying, withering, man-made monster Living, breathing, animal-made master
3.
Birth, flight, why Would you die? Dreams of sight Then we writhe I capture you In the Light, signs of No life Fly with all the Wisdom gained We still fail Plucked from branches of knowledge Enveloped by the hands That feed you Cradled, hated, instead You will feign Bribed, with lies, for lies To overlook Pain, what's at stake? Nothing but the Inconvenience for your waning privilege Painless

Traverse the Planets Recourse those who inhabit Reverse the false instinct Trade their humanity in Pollinate Assimilate Spreading the emerald dust In the crevices of man's brain Vines wrap, bones crack Wings grow, skin erodes Traverse the Planets Recourse those who inhabit Reverse the false instinct Trade their humanity in Pollinate Re-integrate Like us, you will see What you once were to other beings Arise and take your new form Seek the other worlds for rebirth Longing for jade eternal Purveyor of emerald dust Absorbed into the orifices of man Apprentice of the arcane mothlords Replenishing the dying cold worlds Cultivation of the abused kingdoms Preservation of the newfound wisdoms Roots unfold Now Sewing the seeds in nocturnal wonder Growing steadily Metamorphosis of the man made hell Exocytosis of the carnivorous cell

Underneath the stars Moving through the trees Observing all, but unseen Preparing for the cleansing Wings spread Gathering the eclipse of arcane lords Cryptic colors emerge from the foliage Larval hope, worlds without hosts Nectaring what's left Like Osiris preventing death Dominions of gardens Transcendence of famine Erosion reversed Succulents surge Take heed, a familiar foe emerges Presented under sunlight The thorn of the kingdoms The horn of true evil Carnivore, Planetary abhorrer Horror incarnate Life's hypocrite Sequester Man for his flesh Species war but without death Unlike your breadth Of abuse and mindlessness

Basis of Sallow Moth and the Deathspore release:

CHAPTER I: Deathspore

The Mothlords are celestial creatures with humanoid features and the physiology of a moth, commonly known as Mothfolk. They traverse planets and different realms to maintain nature and vegetation on worlds that support life, or even generating sentient life on planets from just simple organic matter, such as soil. While generally graceful and passive beings they are, there is a vigilance in their life's code, and will deliberate means of biological transmogrification on beings (especially humans) who oppose them. Through this arcane magic, they delicately enforce nature development and order by morphing beings into various forms of organisms, who then follow the Mothfolk code. Such creations may come in the form of fungal-human hybrids, tree-human hybrids, green ooze, insects, and creations that are unrecognizable to the common eye, yet some amalgamation of flesh and flora. While invasive of a tactic, the Mothlords do not resort to death by any means as they believe all life is sacred. These creatures then maintain the natural order on their respective worlds after the Mothlords depart.

There are groups of opposition in the multiverse who seek to undermine this verdant order through means of technological advancement and other forms of magic. Most humans consider the Mothfolk as too invasive -- galactic pests in their way -- while pride gets the best of one society that aims to create a more machine-driven way of life, through technology and space exploration. They are a society of artificers (humans and androids) led by a man named Servym. Some celestial beings vehemently despise both humans and Mothfolk, trying to imprison and torture them on remote planes with dark forms of sorcery. Over time, other forces at play became known and thrown into this galactic pot of warfare and politics. Numerous wars came from these conflicts, so much that a devious faction formed from the original Mothlords -- known as Moss Deceptiva, led by Tyria and her deadly witch moth, Noctai. While vigilant as their predecessors and original kin, they developed hatred and contempt and diverged from their original methods of life creation, devolving into a hivemind of violence and terror. At first, they sought to destroy previously visited worlds themselves, unmaking all fruitions of the original lords, but instead used their corruption to create armies of their original creations. Fusing even more bastardizations of organisms, these new abominations seized their respective planets, either spawning an overabundance of flora or mutating environments into plagues of spores and deadly bacteria. This creation of chaos invigorated the Moss Deceptiva, causing their genetic makeup and aura to mutate into higher levels of power.

An alliance was formed between Servym and the Mothlords when they realized the chaos could not be contained by either side. A new creature was born from this union, the Sallow Moth -- even more humanoid than its ancestors, but with greater power and potential than the sum of its parts. It was created from both arcane magic and human technology, designed to infiltrate the Moss Deceptiva quietly and eventually restore balance to the spore-infected worlds.

As this story unfolds, each release will correspond to this foundation of a theme.
