Part I - Rage, Corporeal

Freed from flesh,
I wear my spite as armour
And within my fists rage is weaponized:
Imbued with grief
And sharpened on my pain
I bear my lifetime’s fury into battle…
Across the astral plain I have come for You!
I see Your looming form upon the dim horizon
Eyeless and repugnant, the Eminence of Evil.
I shake with tension, I can almost taste revenge;
My hands will still the beating of Your cold, black heart…
I am rage made real!
I am rage made corporeal!
I
AM
RAGE
MADE
REAL.

Part II - Rage, Besieged

The dais from which you reign is seven levels high
Seven mountains, black with soot, clutching at the blood-laden sky
Seven hordes, seven horrors, seven times to face the night
But the rage within my soul has seven times their might!
Into the crimson lash I bend my will
Into a storm of claws and fear
But I am unbowed and
My wrath grows
Ever hotter and fiercer still.
Then…
Amidst the shrieking carnage of my progress
On the last of seven levels
Is unveiled the pinnacle of Your cruelty:
My wife…my daughter…
Against me are arrayed
And their features are crippled with hate,
The swords of bone they wield
Rend me deep with every thrust,
For all my rage is no defence
Against the cutting edge of guilt:
“Where was I? Where was I?”
Gloating, you descend upon my broken form
Malignancy roils before you like a cloud of poison:
And in your shadow, they writhe again
And in your shadow, they die again
Accelerated plague to claim them once again
And I lose them…and I lose them once again.
Too late
You realize Your mistake:
What You thought would crush me
Only re-ignites me
And from my eyes I pour forth fire!
Rising to my feet again!
Rising to my feet again!
I will finish what I’ve begun -
I will finish what I’ve become.

My faith, once clean, is long since jaded
And I am become Your reckoning,
For all these years I’ve raged and hated
But now I stand before You.
I marched for Your glory –
You paid my wage in death.
I’ve carved apart Your angels and hacked Your demons down:
Your realm’s a burning ruin – mockery is now Your crown!
I am Eversor
And now You’ll die.
Face me! Among the ashes of Your throne
You are reduced – You are frail and quivering,
For in Heaven as is on Earth
And my power is now Gospel!
I am unleashed from mortal form
And I burn like a million fires.
I consume even Your screams within my blazing, wrathful vengeance:
Then – like charcoal on the wind – I dissolve my very essence:
I was Eversor, and now I’ll die.
So now, I rest
So now, I cease
So now, I rest:
At last
At peace.

Hammerdrone recommends:
Hammerdrone bassist, Teran, and guitarist, Curtis, swap places in Krepitus. Shredding, virtuoso death metal.
