Entranced by Decay
There is a fog here and a smell of iron The halls here are different My estrangement Formulae leave fumes They woke it from a trance Shadows in the tombs Waiting for their chance In the presence of a ghoul Came for the marrow, the taste Stayed to eat sorrow of human waste The nurturing marrow so bittersweet The true appetizer is human defeat It bares its hollow teeth Sustained by blood and deceit Came for the marrow, the taste Stayed to eat sorrow - the stench of human waste Formulae leave fumes They woke it from a trance Shadows in the tombs In the presence of a ghoul

Silent executions Plunge the iron deep Night eyes find the target Burn them in their sleep Force them into passage Never should return Demons tend to linger where the bodies burned Hunter seeker slayer Followed in silent prayer Beating hearts make easy prey Lack of sudden movement Static in the air As flesh they were blind As aether they're aware Flesh has disappeared Memories remain Failing finger on the trigger Hunter turned to prey Hunter seeker slayer Followed in silent prayer Beating hearts make easy prey Bodies swiftly buried Coins in their eyes Bones are still interred Spirits soon to rise Palpitations sudden Caught him while he prayed Hunter joins the beasts to guard them in decay Beating hearts make easy prey

A pit for the defeated A prison full of ash Circle of dust Mines of self-hatred There is no sleep here and no emotion save fear Pit of ash Pit of fucking ash A hole full of venom that stops an inch within death An age inside these walls A grave prevented by nothing but breath I inhale it I consume it I taste it I breathe it No options of escape No light permeates Walking coffin In search of a grave I inhale it I consume it I taste it I breathe it
