Wow
I'm a carnal, organic anagram, human flesh instead of written letters.
I rearrange my pathetic tissue; I incise, I replace, I'm reformed.
I eradicate the fake pre-present me, elevate me to a higher human form.
The characters I am, made into a word complete, then I'll be the new norm.
Self-inflicted fractures, I replace my bones with bars;
Aluminum bleeding oxide; the drug of gods into my pounding veins.
A human puzzle for all to scorn:
No face, no back, directionless.
My scarred edition I'll display; the organic word for nothingness
My receiving eyes exchanged with fuses; blindness induced to prevent destruction.
Ceramic blades implanted past my ribs to save me from the dues of inhalation.
I tear my worldly useless skin, staples to pin it over my ears.
Non-receptive of ungodly sounds - I disable the audio-generators of fear.
Hexagonal bolts to fill my mouth, sharpened to deplete the creator of all violence;
Without speech there will be no deceit.
My feet I crush the flesh I cut away, so as to not produce the sound of their presence on rotten ground
Baptized in vitriolic acid; a final touch, a smoothing of features.
Completion of the greatest art; to cast the godly creatures.
Humans, once astray; made divine, stripped of congenital flaws.
We're incandescent revelations in a world of darkened forms.
Confide in my new age dogma, swallow the indoctrination
You'll come to love it here, the suicidal atmosphere
Let me into your common mind, I'll plant my thoughts into its soil.
Walk among us self-made gods, deified through the pains of self torture
Dsciples, come join with me to save a failed humanity.
Follow the god of cyanide into the new eternity.
Behold; a sacrificial rase a cleansing worshipping of pain.
The new millenium christ here to redeem all from lies.
I've come to save you all, I've come to light your way
Wow... What can you say about that? Tomas Haake, one of the four masterminds of Meshuggah (the other three being guitarist Fredrik Thordendal, guitarist Mårten Hagström, and vocalist Jens Kidman), wrote some amazing pieces and by far, this is the best. I can't eve begin to comprehend what he is talking about. If any of you reading this know of Meshuggah, you know how intelligent these four men are, especially through their music. This is definitely one of the best pieces I've read in a long time. When we have our poetry unit in Creative Writing, you can best bet I'm bringing this piece in for people to read.
Modus Operenda News:
Today we completed work on "The Guilt That Follows". This song will probably not end up on the record which is being recorded at Castle Ultimate in Oakland, CA for four days. The record is tentatively titled "The Art of Murder" so be on the look out for it. Of course, I'll keep updates. To here some demo tracks that do not have me playing bass, go to:

The demos were recorded in the jam spot in Jimmy's garage through a boom-box, hence the crappy quality, but they are good enough until the record comes out.
