Gnarled branches intertwine Guiding me deeper, deeper into the Dark Altar's realm Let your voices rise To a sinister death harmony I now bear the weight of the darkened crown I am bound in the blood This has become my rite Succumbing to the temptation Macabre transformation The faint whispers of the Damned keep calling to me Like haunting crescendos from severed tongues Wide eyes and parted lips Beg to bow in submission Engulfed with no perception of their fate Protruding organs bloating the abdomen Dilapidation, putrefaction Acrid miasmas lingering overhead Satiation woven with disgust A spectre driven purely by bloodlust Consumption of their souls is a must These tainted memories Have enveloped my psyche, consume every thought The monstrous heritage is invigorating Something I can't ignore Pulling me further, further from the touch of moonlit nights Welcoming the blight The clench of death is gripping me so tight A palpable sense of danger enveloping me I choose to follow them to bask in forbidden light The plea of the death surrounding A ballad unbeknownst to me This choir was spawned in the oblivion A paradise of eternal sleep The missing piece of mortality A new heir to impose my decree True satiation calling Waning in the night These tainted memories Have enveloped my psyche, consume every thought The monstrous heritage is invigorating Something I can't ignore Gazing forward with hatred. These lands were once so sacred Thrown into the life of something that's been so long awaited A mind simply invaded. Unfortunate lives being wasted So easily persuaded to accept all that's been fading Pallid skin collapses liquefying into a viscous sore Slurries of tissue and organ puddle into the grassy knoll Reveals the underlying muscle and sinew The scent of damp earth underlined with a life unborn. x2
