lyrics

To live, to die,
Unto the blackened sky.
Bleed in heaven’s rivers neath the all-seeing eye.
To reap, to sow,
Lacerations they bestow.
Carve the flesh anew in a state of limbo.

Omniscient philosophy.
Absolute depravity.

Heightened drive for illustration.
Anchored to self devastation.
Internal mist of realisation.
Bringing forth thy condemnation.
A canvas of scathed skin seeping.
Inward thrust of dismal dreaming.
Descending stream of inner feeling.
Moulting sense of merely being.

Mind rot.
Decaying.

Blind death.
Insoluble.

An archaic rain of weeping gods, soaking the soils of man.
The archetype of morbid reality.

Pale flesh.
Revolting.

Vain breath.
Irretrievable.

A faltered flock of dead angels rot, skin dissipates into dust.
Severed by the halos that shielded them.

Denounce thee, theocracy.
Rejoice within, apostasy.
Delude the grip of blasphemy.
Heresy.

Obey. Decay.
The throes of immortality.
To slake, to slay.
Illusionary deities.

Malevolent forms of chaos.
Burn.

Immolate - self-reincarnation.
Desecrate - A silhouette of slits.
Immolate - Skin deflagration.
Desecrate - Deteriorate in vain.

Dry blood clots.

Singeing skin
From the bone.
Sacrificed.
All alone.

As above so below.

The seams of desperation, seeds life to proclamation.
Head-first to detonation. We weave the final woe.
Oppresive condemnation, plucked souls for death's migration.
With no commiseration. Unto the fire we flow.

Failures inscribed. Etched into the stake that rots below.
Forever flawed by design, riddled by the unconscious powers that be.

Blood oaths made, to construct reality.
Still searching for solace, in a finite simulation.
We falter, we crumble, fresh from the bowels of indocrination.
The die is cast. Embrace our finality.

Every light casts a shadow.
A human mis-step formed by evolution.
Every light casts a shadow.
Tellurian vanity.
