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

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

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
