the end of times, how might it come virulent plague, exploding sun might some survive, well that depends though when it’s time, so then it ends hot burn blister flame char cinder a daunting thought, best to avoid global pressure drop, giant asteroid might some survive, well i suppose though if they don’t, then so it goes cold frost bitten froze through smitten swim cramp falter davy jones locker a giant wave swimming with the fish extinction of all plants spazmatic choking fits a nuclear exchange blotting out the sun all kinds of ends no kinds of fun the difference is, ‘tween you and i i chalk things up to chance, you need a why when our bell tolls--for no--reason nor rhyme so then it comes, the end of times so then it comes, the end of times so then it comes, the end of times

out of the cold, cyclopean wasteland hobbles a crippled thing a visage long-ago forgotten curved spine and broken wings crawling out of the mouth of madness which depths defy concepts of distance and time continues on it’s slow progression silently broadcasting things which no sane mind dared to fathom without then descending down into the mouth of madness it’s motivations cruel and senseless constructs these walls around us both formless and boundless from which there is no escape it comes on like train a blinding pulse, cascading waves of raw psionic energy and slowly falls away sense of self, sense of faith sense of morality just blown away and you feel, no you fear there ain’t nothing more left to save shame - blight guilt - fright grief - sorrow anguish - hollow cannot flee cannot hide can’t think strait lost your mind at last a soothing voice in your head says “pick up that axe, introduce it to all of your friends.” you oblige feels soooo right all is clear and you dive down into the mouth of madness motivations cruel and senseless trapped by these walls around us both formless and boundless from which there is no escape the suffering will not abate til nothing is left to forsake now bow down and accept your fate

i’m the fly in the ointment that little speck of cursed blight crash downstairs when yer in bed all sleeping tight voice of derision bouncing around in your head best mind your manners or you might just end up dead i’m gunna blow your plane right outta the sky i’m gunna storm my ass up your hill i’m gunna slip right past your defenses with ease i’m gunna glide right in for the kill i’m the guy in the mirror who ain’t there when you look twice mole in your entourage who gives you shit advice, now virus on your hard drive that you just cannot erase suspect device that’s gunna explode in your face i’m gunna blow your plane right outta the sky i’m gunna storm my ass up your hill i’m gunna slip right past your defenses with ease i’m gunna glide right in for the kill if you believe you can achieve goals through pressure and coercion then you might find you’re in a bind best keep walking best just walk away
 if you proceed then you misread my words as fear of confrontation and you will find you’re in a bind you messed with the wrong guy

4 ton mantis too big to fly flaming battleships falling out of the sky i’m seeing flesh-eating zombies clawing out of the dirt seems my prospect for survival’s gone from shit-poor to worse yet I’m alive not going away i will prevail and fight fight another day ain’t met no scrape i can’t surmount may get knocked down but always up before the last count tectonic. shift. the ground beneath me morphs into a giant. rift. nearly swallowed whole is this shit gunna blow tell ya damned if i know but she’s a long time coming and she’s starting to show yet here i stand won’t bend or break a line’s been drawn which i will not forsake not out of time just out of place this ship ain’t sailed hell, ain’t even started the race, come on breathe with me hold your ground, now find that pocket ain’t no failing, I say you gotta bide your time hold that line ‘til the stars align while on earth you get a finite time just keep on rolling yo-ho diddle-eyed joe trapped in a corner nowhere to go hi-yo ain’t no stress shot those suckers and i’ll shoot the rest yet I’m alive not going away i will prevail and fight fight another day not out of time just out of place this ship ain’t sailed hell, ain’t even started the race, come on breathe with me these are strange days, indeed incoming keep your head down, I say you aughta peer inside given time you might find divine while on earth you get a finite time so keep on rolling on

beg your pardon, may I have a seat, you know I’m really glad to meet you i don’t think I’ve come across this kind since shit went down macchu picchu. do you see that guy in the pinstripe tie he’s not of this world i tell you no lie and i wouldn’t turn my back on him as he’d not sooner smile than eat you once you learn there’s things you can’t unsee there are more planes than this reality all sorts of things move amongst you and me can’t be explained by your 3d philosophies see this particular breed of beast has a peculiar way of breeding first it finds itself a proper host, and then commences with the seeding you’ll be paralysed and when its babies thrive feed on you from inside while you’re still alive d’oh, let me help you clean that up didn’t realize you were eating once it locks in it’s difficult to shake it tracks by taste much like your common snake avoid it’s gaze, it’s challenging to break it stupifies, makes it hard to stay awake you must outrun it you must outfight it if you want to keep on living but don’t you worry, darlin’ ol’ jack always has something up his sleeve wait ‘til he gets a little closer...closer...FIRE!

will not falter, cannot alter x4 alive...but you don’t really feel you see the others strive... though you don’t see the appeal just try to make ends meet scraping by as best can just another cog...in another’s plan you live...you die no peak...no dive you choke on it now there are many things that motivates a man perhaps we’re chosen ones part of a master plan sure helps you sleep at night clear your mind from doubt accept all as god’s will is that what life’s about you live...you die no peak...no dive eternal fate decided by by one life sure sounds convenient for those who prescribe. and I cannot accept this Regardless of your threat of damnation i will not falter will continue to live...to strive to reach...to try to dream...to fly. to live...then die anchor yourself with debt, a big house, and a ride sure sounds convenient for those who prescribe and cannot accept this regardless of the pay plans offered me i will not falter you will not alter me just trying to make a point if, perhaps, i can don’t have to be that cog in that other plan all points of view are represented by two sides sure sounds convenient for those who prescribe and I cannot accept this regardless of your incessant punditries i will not falter you will not alter me

about

One-Eyed King San Francisco, California

A biting sermon of apocalyptic prophesy is delivered as the rhythm section unwaveringly drives the heavy, raucous guitar through the chests of the assembled. Not recommended for those of weak constitution, questionable moral composition or the easily suggestible.

Think you’ve got what it takes? Be warned, once you learn there’s things you can’t unsee...
