Shadows of the past condemning the present Enticed with desolation in a fever of atonement I awake within the abyss Peering into a reflection of the dark Staring at the dismal version of myself Weighing all that was lost Deafening silence swallows my senses Resurface the hatred carving through my mind Helpless restrained by my own fears Severing a natural bond with existence My blood will not quench the thirst of death My soul will not fail before my final breath Devoured in doubt this burden never fades The worst of acts erodes the coming days Yeah ♪ Fulfill this self-sacrifice Impurities renounced The truth is concealed Torn away from life Damned forever in this mouth of hell Endless is the suffering Sadness prevails ♪ Abandon all self-love A short way to madness Seeking a purpose when reason has lost The cold flames of emptiness The precious bliss of pain Learn to forgive myself for God has no regard ♪ Beneath the tomb where all is hidden I await the serpent and the bringer of the end I fled from solitude and mercy To become one with the rotting insects ♪ Made this enemy of Heaven Held darkness to my heart Immersed in the blood of guilt My oath has cursed this life I am dealt this unforgiveness Condemned to penance Suffering draws me closer To this exodus of life Final thoughts of desolation Disappears into fields of blood Servant of this false betrayal Forever undone
