A re-imagining of lyrics for Aural Discord's first possible single.
The Absence Of Innocence - version 2
wearied, I begin my climb again
towards what I hope is salvation
clutching at threads from a spider's web
blood from my gashed palms dyes them red
I dare not look at the maw beneath me
full of writhing grotesqueries human long ago
so utterly have they lost themselves
overcome by wickedness or willingly embraced?
every warm drop that spills from my veins
how they thirst for and quarrel over
slashing and crushing underfoot brethren once
to nourish the greed that drives all thought
byproducts of insatiable lust they breed
their doomed children born with twisted needs
honesty and kindness they are taught to abhor
the dog that wags its tail will be stoned
whither is that divine cleansing
the hand of god that wounds to heal
I cannot wait for the forty day rains
with crimson silk I don my last necklace

After mucking about unsuccessfully trying to get auto fan control working in Windows 7 (64bit) using Rivatuner 2.24c, found this useful post on bitbenderforums. Thanks to Grogan.

And now, for something completely different.
An Ode To My Love
oh you're so blindingly beautiful, I cannot look upon you
for I fear for my sanity, yet I cannot look away
how have you cast this spell upon me, enslaved me
what witchery floods your flesh to hold me in sway
how herculean your smallest finger, elegant yet perverse
that you dangle me so, dare I gainsay your slightest whim?
draw your razor nails across my face I beg of you
and the scars I will cherish to the very end of days
the flaming agony that burns me when you look away
stay near me this torture I cannot endure
every inch apart is a mile that drowns me deeper
smother me, breath on me ere I suffocate in ecstasy
a sigh from your luscious lips and I am tethered to the ground
to be the living tapestry that breaks your footfall
drop a single tear on me my queen, white hot and acid
to burn through my soul and ignite my suffering
if you were wrought in marble an altar I would build for you
crimson lips and rosy cheeks, from my veins the pigment drawn
gaze upon your form I shall until my withered heart stopped
tear it out I would if my unworthy claret could awaken you
make not eyes at him coquettishly o magnificent one
lest I lay his head at your feet with bleeding hands
threaten not to leave me o coy apple of my eye
a travesty be it for the slave to strangle his goddess

Possible lyrics for Aural Discord's next composition.
.......
into liberation so it begins
screaming at life seen though gore covered eyes
stare past the end that stares you in the face
it beckons you at every step you take
love, hate, anger, victory and defeat
sweat, toil and hands you fought to take
lies for profit and friendships faked
culminates in a melting pot of suffering
hope and revel in happiness fleeting
heights you scaled will erode to nothingnes
you cannot deny your birth right
the shadow that haunts you even in darkness
hoarded luxuries slip thorugh crackling bones
beg a stranger's kindness to wet your parched lips
as you drift towards skythe wielding serenity
screaming in transit to your next stop, purgatory
and into confinement so it ends

Intended to serve as lyrics for Aural Discord's first track.
Written while in office, at night, of course.
The Absence Of Innocence
self inflicted wounds, from beyond birth inherited pain
the generous are the first to go, pay with virtue for a hasty end
walk a road of yellow bricks slick with lost wayfarers' blood
trust your friend to stab your back unless you are the first with the blade
infant face reminds you of the grave
facades of deception make you a knave
sanctuary is burnt, no place to hide
see the smile edged with fangs vile
burn.. all shreds of good must die
flee.. but you won't save your life
scream.. no one will hear you cry
hope.. how do u see with no eyes?
burn....
flee..
scream...
there is no hope...
virtue is the shackle you will be hung by
merry fiends brawl for a dead hero's limbs
trodden bones of the righteous make sands for the blight
Elysian fields vanish to reveal a pit of agony

Written on August 5th, 2009 while in the office. It's a poya day and I'm still at work at 11.30pm. The title was given to me by Pravin J. when he sent me a recorded guitar sample and asked me to write lyrics for it.
For this, I only had to search within.
The Blessed Dead Among Us
do u know why you're alive?
do know why you're living a lie?
everyday's but a clutching battle for
things that fuel your rancid mind
a foul sunrise and a day begins
but yesterday's misery hasn't ended
drag your feet to the slaughterhouse
earn hatred for selling shreds of life
won't the grim reaper come to release me
how I long for thee o sire of my love
there's no hope I know you will not save me
long ago did death take his own life
grit my teeth and bear the pain
sounds of wrath blast in my ears
how I hate you lovely people
see you die in my happy nightmare
who gives a fuck if my life is ended
my own hand that holds the blade
fill a coffin and a house empties
will the worms like me better than i?
