lyrics

Form the lines
Take the best
Throw the scraps to the rotting remains
With this soullessness so undivine
An assailant’s decrepit divide
Eclipse my eyes
From the heartlessness you provide
Disgust and dismay drip from the lips of your lord

Envision the gore
From this blanket of bliss that drapes the blood streaked floors
Within my grasp, within my reach
A solid plight to overcome a soulless man to besiege

To deceive and elude
And as such has been burdened on you
As the smite of his will breaks us down
Deception hatched
Kill the crown.
Revolt and rise
Let the flames burn all in sight
With this vengeance at hand
Retrieving with ferocity

Eclipse my eyes
Unmerciful no more
Within my grasp, within my reach
A solid plight to overcome
A soulless man to besiege
Envision the gore
From this blanket of bliss that drapes the blood streaked floors
Within my grasp, within my reach
A solid plight to overcome
A soulless man to besiege

Relentless cold-blooded
Bleeding out
Infused with doubt
Blessed by death's cold presence
Let the darkness overcome
One last scowl and a curse and vow to soon return
To perish within death's embrace
The end will judge you now.

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
