Spilling your lies
Spilling your woes of life
In a pitiful attempt to disarm me
Every story changes, your inconsistency supplies the ammunition I need
Executed deceptions, apathetic and depraved
Indulged by your ignorance
Your degradation is something to behold
Never conscious of the choices you make
Always the first to hurl the blame
You were never right because you refuse to acknowledge your wrongs
Consequently leading yourself to ultimate destruction, obliviously
I long to see the day when you drown in your river of chaos
That day will come
Go and get fucked
You are a waste of space, time, matter and energy
The cosmos have concluded you don't deserve this gift
The jury finds you guilty, as penance for your crimes
Disassociation, exile
Your first breath should have been your last
A senseless sycophant on the cusp of collapse
Terrorising the minds of the helpless
A predator in it's purest form
Feeding on the insecurities of others
To fulfill your desire to divide and conquer
If you can't shape them
You break them
Leaving them to rot from the inside out

Lets put an end to this once and for all
We all bleed the same
Let go of your hatred for one another
Stop fighting, unite
Together we can show them what they don't want us to see
This perspective's a lie, there's a better way
The world that they've created absolutely disgusts me
With the power of the people in my hands
We are here to crush you
We will burst your cadaver of deception wide open
Exposing your inner workings
You can't hide any longer
You fear our voice, that's why you try to keep us silent
Now we are screaming, we are better than this
A new age is ready to dawn
The lies you calcified now wither to dust
You wither to dust
Fading to a distant memory
You're forgotten as we
Assimilate

Pouring through the seams, flowing
A continuous relay, in the circles
Matter as waves, chaotic, harmonising endlessly
The abomination, this creation
Drawing me into the hive, hoarding my energy
I detest this weakness, selfishly wanting to be saved
A viral organism that's infecting my realities
I just wish to be alone
I wish to be alone
Twisting and abusing collective consciousness
It begins to falter, flooded with imperfections
A lense over mind's eye, curiosity destroyed
Layered with dull grey, disinfecting this dimension
To free my being, I wish to be alone
To take a step back and observe without eyes
Darkness streamlined, engulfing the circles
To take the thoughts back, to remove all toxic influence
My mind is mine and mine alone
The animals will live obliviously
Consuming until death, until there is nothing left
Sustainability an impossibility with this pest left alive
Remove all trace of it, end the bloodlines
Disassemble the remains, incinerate
I detest this weakness, selfishly wanting to be saved
A viral organism that's infecting my realities
I wish to speak of my own will and
Know my words are of my own choosing
External forces, the source of corrosion
I must cleanse this plane to start anew, I seek solitude
I just wish to be alone
I just wish to be alone
Pouring through the seams, flowing
A continuous relay, in the circles
Matter as waves, chaotic, harmonising endlessly
This abhorrent parasite has been destroyed
My mind is finally free to wander the void

I watch them standing at the edge where the tides drag fragments of them away
Their footing dwindling, stability liquefying. They do not move, they do not seek salvation
As their lives are cast into the sea, the waters rise with every step I take
Victim complex runs rife within you
For quite some time now I have observed your wasteful ways
Opportunity for greatness beyond the lie they have conceived, completely gambled away
Ignoring every possibility
I have seen what comes next, I know every move you will try to make
I've studied your ways, your decisions, your creed
I can see where your attempted actions will land, marching towards a premature end
Your plan is futile, I know your game. YOU POSE NO FUCKING THREAT TO ME
Don't overestimate yourself, you're nothing more than a twisted branch on a dying tree
You don't understand the magnitude of what you have done
The consequence will stare you in the face when you step out of your cage and meet reality
Death would be too merciful for one such as you. You deserve to feel the agony you create
To live forever as it eats at you from the inside, ETERNALLY
You will break down again and again, while your dissonance provides a false sense of relief
You foolishly mistake silence for security, did you forget about me?
All that you love and care for, forgotten with your brief history
A meaningless spec in the sands of time. Don't act surprised, you knew what was coming
I have arrived, it's time you came with me, for I have something to show you
The future, your children suffering. I have your life in the palm of my hand
It grows ever shorter as you wither away
You have crushed yourself, when you're looking for someone to blame
You can call out your own name

Progeny Of Dissimulation
03:58

The spawn of a species gone foul. It wanders, it follows the sounds
The screams of the ones that survived
When the soil is torn from under the feet, where words are reduced to lines
Followers cull those who fall beneath them
With all those who would defy. This agenda cannot rule all
This is not the end. This is no beginning. This is the centre of calamity
Ignite the flames, they must remain. The ash will blow away in the wind
Bridges collapsed, towers destroyed
There's no distinction between war and peace
Why is it that in the pursuit of profit, wholesale slaughter is the common theme?
Civilisation as they have willed it to be is as barbaric as it's ever fucking been
An extinction event of monstrous immensity
Outweighing anything this world has ever seen
The omnicidal maniacs in control are just steering us closer
Hurtling faster and faster towards our death
Still we put our faith in decisions made by those who would ensure our defeat
Dark days descend on our people, we are the ones who will feel the pain
Of all their fucking mistakes
Oblivious to it all, pointing the finger of blame
At the weak and the disabled, the meek and the impoverished
We call this thing society and defend it at all costs
A frightful delineation of life and the value we allow it to hold
I dream of cleaving the chains of this disease
To see a day when the air is safe to breathe
Dredging through the broken shards of what could have been
The solution is there, if you could only try and see
It's never lost til we stop looking, and even if it's just me
I will not retreat
I will find my peace

Degeneratum Brisbane, Australia
Since completing their line-up in 2017, Degeneratum have unleashed 'Circuits', 'For The Many' and 'Invidia Mors' in quick
succession, each more dark and malevolent than the last.
In a saturated scene and genre such as Death Metal, it is easy to get lost in the masses but Degeneratum steadfastly refuse to merely make up numbers.
They are here to lead the pack.
