THE LEVIATHAN CONFIGURATION

I find myself within this infernal labyrinth
With the lamenting crux grasped in my hands
I have tasted the sins of the flesh
And stained your memories with my will
Buried hopes and dreams within the confines of nightmares
Familial blood tattoos these killing fists
Because my eternal endeavors
Have led me to a Hell that I call Home

I will save my breath
For screaming

This configuration Of desecration
Has given me insight
Of salvation
And ultimate damnation

The box has tasted blood
From the lamb of god
GODDAMN HIS EYES L I E S
The box opens for me
For the price that bleeds

What reward awaits?
I choose power

Stand among the unholy light of Leviathan
So bright and deafening scorching my flesh
Arms spread wide to embrace hooks and chains
Dig deep to hoist me up to Heaven
The hands of the maker rape my body flay my skin
Leaving muscle and bone free to the salt
Replacing my veins with barbed wire
That is wrapped around this Hellbound heart

Hand held in wrought iron
Forged from spilled blood
Intestines are ripped out
And fed my own offal
Decapitated
And my face peeled away
My silent S C R E A M
Grafted on the precipice
Where my heart once beat
In the rigors of Hell
I smile in tortured delight
Because I cannot wait
To taste your suffering
