retching and faltering in the putrid haze
a din of groans in agony upon mounds of decay
consumed by inflicting carnal misery
sullen eyes stung by ammonia weep
harvest of disaster
the chalice of suffering overflows
fountains of hubris in a desert of shame
mocking sacrifice, seeking fortune in despair
on flaming winds fly embers from the east
prism clouds gild the pyroplastic air
pillars of smoke and ash arise from summer’s altar
charred bones in steel and glass upon the pyre
relentless tides encroaching upon the shore
immemorial waters, reclaiming sediment and life
eroding clay to dust, dissolved into tears
senses fade to echoes in the deep
ground glass lung, weakened stridor
fear sweats, drowned in pathogenesis
succumb to the self-inflicted storm

If you told me that Dischordia shared members with Dysrhythmia I'd believe it without checking. Angular, dissonant constructions that give no fucks about human enjoyment. I need more. Ghuughra
