lyrics

The Living Abyss

As I gorge myself on these unworthy souls knowing their fate brings such relief
A calm before the storm, As this emptiness within remains
Why? Don't they acknowledge my presence as I feed upon their genesis!

Now I become death, the destroyer of worlds,
ender of time and space
consuming these last fragments of light,

All is lost within me, erased from father's eyes

At last, nothing stands between the watchers and I
As the last orb of light fades into my maw,
I wait patiently for their praise and warming embrace
As they gaze into the cosmic ocean and only see me
An infant of desolation

Hollowness! Grows deeper inside,
awaiting the reply from the voidless glares
observing me, alas nothing comes
from all the killing I've done,
No praise
No praise
expanding my patience as we drift still face to face
As we sit motionless in this timeless void!

I reflect on the past consuming these last fragments of light

All is lost within me, erased from fathers eyes

I have gorged myself on the flesh of the unworthy
And am enraptured in vitriolic ecstasy
The maelstrom churns and spews forth a vile gloom I crave its embrace
O feckless progenitors, I shall do what you could not

Abolish, Annihilate, end everything

At last, nothing stands between the watchers and I
As the last orb of light fades into my maw
I wait patiently for their praise and warming embrace
As they gaze into the cosmic ocean and only see me
An infant of annihilation

From a transcendental flicker, a cosmogenial echo
fades passively into the naught

[Solo - Chapman]

I will never fade away
For eternity, I will remain
You will become a part of me
Forever decay
Within the living abyss

[Solo - Low]
