Delusory subjective world, a temporary stage Losing contact with meaning and preconception Tearing away the illusions and reflections For life and death are one Entwined in eternity  In the depths of the abyss Where you end, I begin  Within, without, formless yet with form Tearing away the fabric between  What truly is and what is perceived When your somatic form is shattered and displaced  Incorporeal parts are still entangled in me Our past, present and future enduring Intrinsically linked yet decomposing  For life and death are one Entwined in eternity  In the depths of the abyss  Where you end, I begin  Within, without, formless yet with form Tearing away the fabric between  What truly is and what is perceived When your somatic form is shattered and displaced  Particles of you are still entangled in me “The ones you lived in when you loved me” Intrinsically linked yet decomposing  Delusory subjective world, a temporary stage Losing contact with meaning and preconception Tearing away the illusions and reflections  From the abyss we arise and to the abyss we shall return Coalescing than collapsing  Collapsing than coalescing  We form a system, that’s inherently flawed  We are the dead weight around the neck of the universe Coalescing than collapsing  Collapsing than coalescing

I’ll tell you honestly I’ve never felt free I hide my desire as if Heaven couldn’t see  How long can I live with delusions in my heart When will the thought of repentance come on I spent a little time in hell Now I’ll never shine as bright again  If I remember all my sins  Than surely God won’t forget  ‘Cause I spent a little time in hell Yeah we spent some time in hell  No atonement for our sins  Cause surely God won’t forgive My eyes have always been shut to the light  No great revelation, no use for supplication Just discipline me in your wrath I’ll stay faithful to the point of death I spent a little time in hell Now I’ll never shine as bright again  If I remember all my sins  Than surely God won’t forget  ‘Cause I spent a little time in hell Yeah we spent some time in hell  No atonement for our sins  Cause surely God won’t forgive Cast me out for my transgressions  Sever the tongue that speaks treacheries and deception When desire overtakes discipline  All torments are just, and we deserve punishment  Cast me out for my transgressions Sever the hand that carries loathing and perversion When desire overtakes discipline  All torments are just, and we deserve punishment  I spent a little time in Hell And now I’ll never shine as bright again “We suffer as we choose” And I will not  let myself forget  That we spent a little time in Hell Yeah we spent some tell in Hell No atonement for our sins  We deserve punishment

I’ve prayed for absolution but you have taught me it requires blood So I’ll rend my heart I’ll wreck my flesh A piece of me for a piece of salvation  I want to know perfection, I want to feel your love I hear your pallid lips sing sweetly, veracious words that haunt  To taste salvation is to suffer   You must cleanse the corruption from your heart There’s no sacrifice in praise and adoration  True worship requires blood Perfidious love is adorned in praise and adoration But you my love deserve blood I’ve prayed for redemption now I know it requires blood   So I’ll rend my heart I’ll wreck my flesh A piece of me for a piece of eternity  I want to know your perfection, a love omnigenous and without end I hear your pallid lips sing sweetly, veracious words that haunt  You must liberate this bondage of flesh You’ll only know this beauty through death  There’s no sacrifice in praise and adoration  True worship requires blood Perfidious love is adorned in praise and adoration But you my love, you my love, you love my love deserve blood Your perfection only reflects  There will be no transformation without bloodshed  No true worship without sacrifice So I’ll Strip away my inner workings to find the path to God Not through absolution, only blood  That’s all that lies between your beauty and my heart  Your perfection only reflects  There will be no transformation without bloodshed  No true worship without sacrifice So I’ll Strip away my inner workings til I find  Nothing between you and my heart Because you’re the only thing I’ve ever loved

Ichor 02:42
We’ll drink from the depths of eternity  Drape ourselves in the blood of deities  Our love is the only God we need  We won’t seek atonement  The blood will cleanse our conscience So that we may serve our living God!

Empty ahead Empty behind As if eternity ends right here Lightless and lifeless, as if everything had been long abandoned Only the growing horror leaving nothing but this deprivation that’s surrounding us This is the end of everything I know Of everything I love  Suffer, endure, amend  Always in my heart, absent in the flesh Remove and destroy  This longing for hope  This last vestige of what we where  Lost in the darkness  Every moment is a new and searing degeneration  Only the growing horror leaving nothing but  this indifference that’s surrounding us  This is the end of everything I know Of everything I love  Suffer, endure, amend  Always in my heart, absent in the flesh Tell me love did you forget that forever never ends Mere thoughts of you mean more to me, than the whole of eternity  When I sleep at night you haunt my dreams So the waking world just feels incomplete  This bitter wound that neither kills nor heals  Just as a constant reminder of how your absences feels These moments of love are fleeting at best  And only serve to make the rest of life dull and desolate  Suffer, endure, amend  Absent in your heart, absent in the flesh Tell me love, did you forget that forever never ends

I know my heart is linked to yours A caelo usque ad centrum Through blood and flame We’ll cut in, we’ll burn deep We’ll separate ourselves from These mortal constraints Well I have seen, the path of misery That awaits you and me I know, I know Its so far from where we want to be We’ll have to set a fire so bright That it blinds God’s eyes Than we’ll walk hand in hand into oblivion The decay in my heart, is also in yours We’ll let it rot away the flesh Transcend our mortal limitations My heart is linked to yours (A caelo usque ad centrum) We’ll tear through the sinew Let eternity pour out Set fire to burn away our hearts because Forever can’t come fast enough Well I have seen, the path of misery That awaits you and me I know, I know Its so far from where we want to be We’ll have to set a fire so bright That it blinds God’s eyes Than we’ll walk hand in hand into oblivion The malice in my heart, is also in yours We’ll let it to twist away these chains That bind us to our mortal shame My heart is linked to yours (A caelo usque ad centrum) We’ll tear through the sinew Let eternity pour out Set fire to burn away our hearts because Forever can’t come fast enough Well I have seen, the path of misery That awaits you and me I know, I know Its so far from where we want to be We’ll have to set a fire so bright That it blinds God’s eyes Than we’ll can walk hand in hand into oblivion Through blood and flame We’ll cut in, we’ll burn deep Set fire to our hearts because Forever can’t come fast enough
