lyrics

I delight in the earth’s entropy
I revel in humanity’s wounds
The only love in me, is for all that which is wrong
And whatever I may not be, I look identical to you

They slither inside their allusion
I see inside their souls, never-ending confusion
A death inside their dreaming
The torment which lies within my eyes

Stale ark of mass herd delusion
A masquerade of existence outside man’s hubris
Pages of psychographic disdain desecrate these walls
These memories are not my own, and the flesh is a distraction

The illusion of the self, draws closer to the pandemonium
The soul only driven by biological purpose
A hymn for the melancholic drawn to the illusion of long view
The barathrum deepens due to the search for the great truth

Wicked torture
A map of experience
Seething hatred
Of your denial

Malign construction
A dream that’s endless
Feel the pleasure
Inside the agony

Excruciation
The torment brings joy
I find contentment
Within my anguish

The prison of the skin
I wear the marks of shame
My body mutilated
My form forever a foreign object

I am no more than sentient meat
A form in the distant process
Of endless decomposition
I seek growth in oblivion
Funereal contamination of decades
In obligatory due revenge of woe
Kilter forces from parallels unknown
Congregate as if blighted

No escape from the ageless
Here lies only their torment
I only wish to see it before I die
They rejoice my final plight
The only remnants are timeless
A gleam for the offering of years passed
I cannot hide anymore from my destiny
I hear the call of my purpose

I see nothing but life
I seek nothing but ends
The only need is for an escape
From this baleful experience
No apocalypse
Nor a grand conclusion
All that which awaits us
Is never-ending existence
