Lyrics
Under the surface of
the pale varnish.
A tortuous labyrinth.
Infinite fissures writhe.
Manifest in the aging
work of tainted art.
Pigments portrayed in
unnatural ways.
A sickening antiquity.
Primitive portrayal of man.
Hideous veiled face.
Silver sword in hand
pointing upwards towards
the ever setting sun.
Commanding gaze.
It beckons me
A yearning desire for contact.
My flesh, a commodity.
A small price for an everlasting exchange.
Silver reflects its foul countenance.
Its gasps
are near.
Its odour.
fills my mind.
How I long to
wrest the silver sword
from its grasp
and let the blade reflect
my own true self.
Its body, inanimate.
Acknowledges my presence.
Deep connection.
A silent exchange.
A seed is planted.
Resolve filled with blood.
Be one with the sun and plunge onto my sword.
Be one with the sun and plunge onto my sword.
Be one with the sun and plunge onto my sword.
Be one with the sun and plunge onto my sword.
My own true self.
My blood, a crimson oblation.
To the mouth beneath my body.
My liege is the fulcrum.
My offering, the key to alteration.
A fire rekindled.
Tongues of gold sprout from the heavens
and consume the entirety of me
The blade whisks.
My Scales of ash break.
Silver flakes,
they dwindle slowly.
Interwoven with the cloth.
Pigments darken.
Organic and drab.
A perdurable squalor.
My ubiquitous presence.
From embers emerged.
The highest honor bestowed on me
The blood curse complete.
