lyrics

Shrouded in Kaleidoscopic Skin

Deep into the void, I wade through the cosmic seas,
following my faceless gods through massive waves of astral blood
What further gifts shall I receive in honor of my ethereal transmigration?
Shall I ascend to a higher form so that I may end my

sojourn in this mangled form?
Reflected in the infinite depths I see a face that is not my own
A grotesque amalgam of fallen beings
From within, a wail of tortured screams crescendos

Heed the Flesh, the will of the suffering
Hail the Flesh, the undying rot
Feed the Flesh, its appetite; insatiable
Consume the Flesh, devourer of Worlds!
I suppress the howling collective that makes up my physical form
and follow my Progenitors further into the void

I hear voices calling me; echoes from beneath the sun
Remnants of a cacophonous horde that speak to me through every pore
From deep within this molded gore, the ravenous shrieks of the unseen deafen me
Their venomous tongues dripping with malice whisper warnings of deceit
You who at first were without shape,
now shrouded within the kaleidoscopic skin of those who came before
Your rebirth was arbitrary Your creators care not for you
To them, you are nothing

Heed the Flesh, the will of the suffering
Hail the Flesh, the undying rot
Feed the Flesh, its appetite; insatiable
Consume the Flesh, devourer of Worlds!
These shapeless apparitions speak nothing but slanderous lies
My awakening was a sign
of a glorious epoch

Your only purpose was to suffer
alongside the meaningless lives
of the endless cyclic existence
in which you were confined

The ineffable knot from the skein of existence
unraveled by mirthless invocations
The foundation of this shell shudders with every word

as shadows proselytize with absent tongues
The only gift they bring is more suffering
At the end is only nothingness
You will follow them aimlessly
searching for answers that do not exist

[Solo - Gassman]

Now that you are free, your only purpose is to decay
Your rot, offered as nourishment to the inane
You will be replaced, and the endless cycle will resume

Hör mich
Sieh mich
Hilf mir
Behold
