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

Retroject 03:34
This lying reflection Unreal as in a dream Temporary sentience affixed between the earth and the heavens How callous, how frail this delusion can be The wreck of time Has found new ways to be cruel Retrojecting consciousness into my weak flesh Birthless, deathless Tempus edax rerum Birthless and deathless the heavens are bare Nothing really ends because nothing is really here Held hostage by the future Ensnared by the past Memory set in flesh hanged between earth and the heavens How empty, how vain the minutes drift by The wreck of time Has found new ways to be cruel Retrojecting consciousness into my weak flesh Birthless, deathless Tempus edax rerum Birthless, deathless The heavens are bare Nothing really ends because nothing is really here

Synchrony 05:07
Every morning mocks me Every night pale reflection of failure I can feel I can see The borders of this reality The stretching of time This trepidation between me and the void Spirit into flesh into spirit must end The key to cosmic truth will come From disrupting the equilibrium Annihilate the synchronicity in everything Every morning a new dread Every night filled with memories I wish I didn’t have I can feel I can see The constraints of this reality From which all proceeds, and which all shall be Filled with frailty and decay Spirit into flesh into spirit must end The key to cosmic truth will come From disrupting the equilibrium Annihilate the synchronicity in everything Got to, got to find a way to annihilate Got to, got to find a way, a way to escape I want to dance, I want to sing To the last pulse of reality I want to feel the filaments on fire Spreading across to tear down the wall that separates us from God All possible Infinite Dissect and Eliminate Deterministic Self sustained Phase locked Symmetry break I sing and dance though I fear I’ll never escape Consciousness as energy Means even through death I’ll never be free We got to dance We got to sing So loud that even God will believe That spirit into flesh into spirit must end The key to cosmic truth will come From disrupting the equilibrium Annihilate the synchronicity in everything Got to, got to find a way to annihilate Got to, got to find a way, a way to escape I want to feel the filaments on fire Spreading across to tear down the wall that separates us from God

I hear death chanting all day (Death is chanting endlessly) When we touch we inter touch entirely In my dreams, its haunting me Glimpses of beauty rife with cruelty Because something in me is lost Some intangible piece is missing from my heart Death is chanting endlessly (I hear death chanting all day) When we touch it echoes through eternity In my dreams, it’s haunting me Brief beauty wrought with cruelty Sending etheric visions to abrade me Wielding memories, like a blade They're slicing in until everything is lost Beauty, hope and love are missing from my heart I fell into a sick languishing For things that seemingly can’t be given The dream twisted in on itself Shackled me in this body of tormented flesh Merely mimicking, merely mocking Like looking back on memories that never happened Still I search and find nothing worse Im being haunted by myself Trying to deconstruct this purgatory that I'm in Only to find Beneath me, above and beside The blades extend my way Taking beauty, taking hope, taking love, It’s taking me from myself In the ethereal world, abraded from flesh I’m haunted by things I’m never getting back And I hear death chanting all day (Death is chanting endlessly) I’ll take all your beauty but you will never be free Something in you is lost Some intangible piece is missing from your heart
