lyrics

The void of ceaseless hunger which still haunts me
A veil lifted which revealed our true nature
Manifestation of horror unbeknownst to us was possible
No possible rationalization for the torment, which we have endured
Prayers left unanswered for what felt like a millennium
It wasn’t long ‘til’ we reached a state of complete demoralization
I needn’t any longer deny the atrocity I have committed
May the lord spare the souls of the ones I have consumed

The great famine which was supposed to see the end of us
Starvation was the primary weapon they used against us
The villains burnt our grain and killed our cattle
And all we had left was the slaughter of our own
I waited for the mercy of my master
But all my cries were left ignored
We feasted on the carcasses of our own children
To cease our hunger, and spare them the inheritance of our greatest sin

We do not mourn the ones which we have slaughtered
But celebrate the mercy of the Lord for having spared us
Acts of the unspeakable no longer spoken of in the village
The ones I have lost still haunt me whilst I sleep
They take their revenge by torturing me in my dreams
They cut away my flesh, and feast on it right before my eyes
As I feel the release of death I suddenly awake
I seek salvation in the Lord to release me from my guilt

The guilt eats away what’s left of my sanity
The only relief is the detachment in my anhedonia

The evil ones find great amusement in the burden they forced us to bear
Their deeds serve as a testament to man’s dismal purpose

The lost souls now wander through the village
Lost in their madness, hearing the voice of the dead
The monsters still mock our tragedy, and rejoice our decay
We were made their scapegoat, and this is the price we have paid

Desolation
My famished body serves as my ruin
Conviction
Ghosts of my loved ones forever haunt these walls
Narcosis
A relief to the nightmare of my great sin
Celebration
My detached conclusion which lets me endure my being

I feel the evil within the scars that I bear
I will not mourn but instead celebrate
I embrace the madness of the wrong I have committed
As It is better to laugh than it is to cry
