By birth unbroken but sorrowborne
This autumn reeks of altered lore
Flirting with all ignorance
And at fault lies nothingness
Oh, had he known or at least detected
the broken home where nothing was respected
Punished by rewards
The sword of his fate is drawn & torn
Marked by the priest, clothed in bones
Followed eternally by wicked groans & moans
These fellow beasts lost to illusion
And still they preach in retribution
Oh, had they wept, not by depression
but to increase the debt in human blessings
But there were dreams, or so they promised
Meaningless treats for a humanised goddess
He basks in wombs both large and sore
For it equals deafening the sound of the core
But there came a time for a shift in nature
His scream would never cease without a creator
The color of your poison
caught his eye like blood to parasites
Oh, had he known or even cared
or had the wit to be scared
Another age, the present despair
An indoctrinated mind is one beyond repair
Without you inside of his tired head
What tears would follow?
What would he love instead?
What do you seek in this wanderer
in place of these arms?
What can I provide? What may I bring?
What will you suffer? What will you see?
My black heart pounding for you
or all my faults correcting themselves to be true?
A blinding grief among these poisonous thoughts
An old belief surrounding his draught of hope
A million ways to counter
So why must you play the hunter?
A black heart falls in love with obscurity
One night apart could result in impurity
and insecurity
Further down the throes
Fearing for life and death at once
Punished by rewards
Progress lost and restored
Oh, had they seen or even noticed
Or had they leaned towards psychosis
Together forever
Forever together
Wherever you'll go, he will follow, both blind and free
What will you suffer? What will you see?
My soul of sulphur or the rotten key?
My black heart burning for you
or all my thoughts finally coming through?
A black heart for a blackened soul
amongst scars from a former home in obscurity and insecurity

Let it rain blackened tears of damaged form
Let loose the quiet storm
Without the social boundaries of the human norm
It'll be damaged forevermore
In absence of belief and all that falls below
The result of an inner war

Katastropha Pargas, Finland
We will present our inner life for the world to hear. We will be the voice for the fragile. We want to show our
vulnerability for those who feel this perpetual all-encompassing anxiety but have not found the proper channel to process it. We try to embrace it.
We try to identify and move past it instead of denying it, and we want to help people who struggle throughout the ride.
