By this gasping death rattle I have brought grace upon us One part severed for the sake of the whole Divine opportunities only to be condemned By naive and ungrateful wretches Their chains fastened to my soul My eyes were laid upon The unspeakable The unknowable My dreams bore the seed Of a bleak and horrifying future A black and ceaseless tide of oblivion The dream alone a burden almost as unbearable As the task that lay complete before me A deed for which I will be renowned and cursed Renowned and cursed It is set in motion now The gears that turn cannot be slowed I must betray my earthly form Cast down all for which it yearns By the fear of judgement and the brand of eternity I have been cloven in two Yet only one may carry on Only one may carry on Rid our bloodline of impurity One part severed for the sake of the whole Purging what is to be purged One part severed for the sake of the whole Repressing the pain and guilt That tears at this mortal shell How could one justify Such an inhuman display of carnage Released from his blasphemies You have been born again She will come to see the truth as well You have brought forth a means to an end Cool air on my face And blood on my robes Blood that is my own Though my skin remain untorn I now dread the terror that will grip her face And the scream that will pierce my heart Her son cut wide open And her lover gone insane Reveling in his occultic art
