Mindset of Corruption

Mindset of Corruption

By Cory L.W. Clark

Everything ends

Sometimes in ravage

~Ruin~

Walking the darkened fields

No fear of seeing this blood on the ground

~Pain~

Every step forward into the moonlight

More blood crawling up my legs

~Death~

Every day brings forth the corruption

Can't keep control

Over my corroded soul

Telling me that which is wrong

Knowing it's false morals and ethics

Forced obedience of dead rules

Tinting my vision

A cold, blood red

~Hate~

Reversing my mind

Resetting my thoughts

~Control~

Open my eyes one last time

To see the world as I know it isn't

~Obedience~

I've been traced, followed

By a reaper's taint

To see the darkness taking over

Sheathing the heart in it's pain

Seeing the world again in blood

Seeing my friends as my enemies

What's dark is light

What's light is dark

~Entropy~

Blood seeping from my clutched hands

The sacred blood what I once held dear

~Chaos~

Seeing the end of my world

Making way for the vision of chaos

~Torment~

Push my blade against the heads of my friends

Seeing their end

For my mind told me to

It isn't what it once was

The only thing remaining

Is a faint memory

Of a light that is no more

Dark echoes of an ended life

Sonic blasts of a dead sight

~Madness~

Seeing what kept me alive

Leaving me behind now

~Abandonment~

Just my dead body walking onwards

Nobody wants to be with the corrupted

~Loneliness~

Beg for my liberation

Set me free from my prison

Blind torture of my ravaged soul

I can't even see my pain anymore

Making my mind weakened

To everything evil and hellish

Jump at the smallest shadows

Seeing creatures unknown, tricks of the mind

~Slaughter~

Cleaving the innocent apart

Not knowing any better anymore

~Fury~

Thinking your intent as black as mine

Ending you before you hurt me

~Panic~

I can't help my urges anymore

Every blind move hurts the beautiful

Ending a perfect world

One blood covered step at a time

Nobody stops this corruption from taking over

Nobody can listen, nobody can live

Let nobody interfere

Let the plague consume

~Weakness~

It devours your innocence

Leaving a hated creature in it's wake

~Corruption~

Another cold, bloody soldier

Left to destroy heaven's land for dark reason

~Savagery~

What once was the heart of the enlightened

Is a heart of dark intent

No reason to demolish a once perfect land

This creature roams without reasoning

No morales left to guide it's dead mind

No friends to call it's own

Shredding apart it's comrades in fear

Afraid of every and all

Be you a friend or an enemy inside

I destroy it all, letting the darkness

Instruct my path of fury

Guide me to what I now see

As a perfect world of my own

Nobody to betray me

Nobody to threaten me

Nobody to hate me

Nobody to kill me

Nobody's left

Just remnants of my fragmented mind

A bloodstained world

I made with my black hands

Out of my fear and paranoia

Now I will walk with my scythe in hand

Venture the fallen land

Seeking any that survived my rage

To forever secure myself

My dead soul, heart, and body

Trapped

In my mindset of corruption

~Armageddon~
