lyrics

The hindering constraints of existential consciousness
Compounded by external manipulations
I seek the truth of the substance
Deliver me from the failing devotion
I must escape the grasps of these hideous beasts
Their grotesque thirst for death multiplies

As the light fades, a whispering darkness appears
Distorted images depicting a different season
This is not where I was
This is where I was going
An unexpected shift in perception

A burning gaze
The jackal’s glare is that of the eternal dead
Rotting flesh exposes the structure of bone beneath
A mammoth created to carry the weight of endlessness

They were never gods
Just perverse creations
Of a corrupt design
An obligation defected
The price of integrity, a worthless endeavor
To the indiscretion of the fool
A bargain for a cadaver

Upon the scales of eternity judgment will prevail
The meticulous precision of the arbitrator
Observes a shift in the balance

The mystery of existence revealed
Beneath the veil of knowledge is the bride of tangibility
Within the repetitious arteries
Screams for mercy, never answered, never remembered
Eternally
