I have basked like a phantom in shadow Haunting gauntest opera eaves As the cast was aware of nothing more in the air Than the whisper of snow on the Autumnal breeze As the ignorant waltzed The ballad changed it's melody Shunning the sun for infernal gloom I felt joy in deep misery But fate's found me out by the plight of the moon Blazing a path that laughed at my own ill-ease Drown despair with molten deeds Fell the beast before it feeds Master the sacred Blast the horns that razed cities Tell the grating world upon its knees That I am free This tethered Hellcat is unleashed Unwinding, sore Grinding to the core This fucking Hellion is unleashed The feeling is back like a Pharaonic curse The scent of fresh blood to a ravenous thirst Lazarus risen, brought back from the dead Realisation, this seasoning dread Adrift in the cosmos, naked and rife We breed without meaning Gifted with fleeting life Drown despair with molten deeds Fell the beast before it feeds Master the sacred Blast the horns that razed cities Tell the grating world upon its knees That I am free The gates of the mind splinter open wide On rusted hinges, must infringes Senses thrust to override Explode upon reality, I thought long-lost, I failed to see The forest for the trees My fire had fled and died I now behold a dawn adorned with majesty To never dare embrace it would be a travesty A seething Chaotopia, a bedlam time story For, if this is the end I want my wretched scars to breathe Now sinkholes spit me back The shades retreat like scattered dogs As the earth is ablaze with the end of days I watch the palaces burn along with gods Portals of thought have delivered me From the brink of a stinking abyss Wherein the view was of pain and askew With an apathy born of crisis Existential, for our place in the spheres Gleamed meaningless, I must confide I suffered, a fool at the mercy of fear For what good was living when dying inside? Drown despair with molten deeds Fell the beast before it feeds Master the sacred Blast the horns that razed cities Tell the grating world upon its knees That I am free This tethered Hellcat is unleashed Unwinding, sore Grinding to the core This fucking Hellion is upon them
