- - - MASQUERADE OF CADAVERS - - -
The constant touch of timeless winter
Accompanies the stench of decay
The presence of misanthropic tongues
Whispering desires from beyond the grave
My recollection dislocating
Memories that were better left entombed
To crave flesh, animalistic
I become hellbound beneath the moon
Black words from a dead mouth
Cast spellwork in scarlet frames
My heart awash in tainted waters
Forged in crucibles of pain
With tragedy and doubt
I am what I've become
A body with no soul
Spectres howl for an eternity
A wave of laments tinged with madness
Gripped in their proliferate grief
I start to feel the burden of sadness
I am championed within their torment
The crimson moon highlights their endeavors
To unlock the mystery of death
Trapped in masquerades of cadavers
I am what you made me
A body with no soul
White eyes from a black sea
Staring, numb, into the void
My hands awash in tainted waters
Blessed with ghosts I must avoid
Oblivion and need
There can be no faith
In bibles and other useless
Propaganda frauds
There can be no fate
In saviors and other empty
Propaganda gods
The candles burn low
In The Circle of Thirteen
Necromantic
And sorcery
Beget hopeless romantics
Into suicidal pacts
I am what you've become
A body with no soul
Black words from a dead mouth
Cast spellwork in scarlet frames
My heart awash in tainted waters
Forged in crucibles of pain
With tragedy and doubt
There can be no faith
In bibles and other useless
Propaganda frauds
There can be no fate
In saviors and other empty
Propaganda gods
I am what I've become
A body with no soul
