lyrics

The purification ritual

The shroud of my soul only hides so much wrong
I made the choice, and now I gift you with my blood
Maleficium of my soul, the void awaits my offering
A flaw in my design, I seek medicine to aid my melancholy

I purify, to rid myself of this contorting sickness
No limb of my body will be left un-scarified
To be healed of this affliction, I must exacerbate my sins
The evil I committed, when I came into existence

The monument I worship, I hear their voice clearly now
They seek revenge on the species, and I am a toy for their vengeance
The wrath I unleashed on my body, will see to my future in glory
I am forever under their servitude, and my scars are a sign of my witness

I vow servitude to thee, as the ungodly outsider
The pain becomes pleasure when it’s inflicted to serve thee
In my worship I’m rescued from the outer world’s subjugation
The freedom of thrall to the deity, which further corrupts my spirit

My eyes burn from the fireless smoke, in my perseverance
My flesh is charred from the smokeless fire, of my surrender
In the void of my mind I find answers, to my lifelong search
I fill the chalice with vomit, to satisfy my Lord’s bloodlust

My offerings create a great shrine, to end my existence in
I am just an imperfect form, that requires purification
The morbid putrefaction I see within myself, cures me of disease
I can’t be the one who is saved, as my purpose is to serve evil

I hear my distant master’s calling
To whom I submit and whose commands I obey

Their existence remains unprovable
But to me their presence feels so clear

I begin the unholy solitary mass, in which I sense their manifestation
The demon which entices me, to partake in unearthly delights
My conquest of hatred towards what I see, will soon come to an end
My soul journey will be over once I leave this wretched realm
