In Miasmic Despair

Forward we cross into night
Leaving our future mistakes behind
Enlightened darkness prevails
Kings trading laurels for thorns and nails

In this intrepid kingdom of ash
Smoldering stories of yesterday's glories
And flickering phantoms pervade
Just shadows enrobed
For the masquerade where we dance

Dance to the rhythm of this sacked religion
Where steeples and spires are measured in pyres
We bask in this season of undying treason
As futile feudality swallows morality

(Bleed for thy lord death shall reward)
Feel the burden of flesh melt away
(Lifeless vassals feeding castles)
Brick by brick, we rebuild this grand pyramid
Bleed

But beneath the disdain
Lies your temple in flames
A return to the dark from whence we came

In miasmic despair
Breathe in the cold nightmare
And rot in this cage of molded flesh and violence

But you will suffer no more
When this disease becomes the cure
When you embrace the remedy
A solution to the problems existence is causing
Close your eyes and see

Resounding silence washes over the unclean
Astray in isolation show me what it means
To know that when I see the other side
The light that's fading from your eyes
Will not evade this crusade

Erase the unknown
A new world to call home
Oceans reach
Depth of hate
Terror form
Subjugate

So supple this nubile domain
Penetrate virgin shores
Sowing seed with such fervent malice

Lay claim in voracious disgrace
With your borrowed banner

And we will suffer no more
When we erase this fucking world
As we escape from all the fear and misery
Out of obscurity climb
Through coalescence of mind
We render this pathetic human paradigm
Obsolete

Erase the unknown
Subvert human form
Deprecate
