Viral compulsion
Born of fractured humanity
Blindly advance by pronouncements
Of all against all
Fragment the reason for being
Consume the vacuous, the disillusion
Lay to waste
And relinquish the earth
Ablaze
Unshackled
Go forth with eyes glazed over
Define your purpose as the riches of sin
Bled out from the remnants
Fallen
All bonds broken
Forged of lies
The end has been written
By our ascent
Exalt nothing
Roots torn from beneath all
Adorned with scars of excess
In eulogy we will not be absolved
Retreat from sanctity
Possessors not of time nor hope
Confront extinction
To repent, but not endure
Fallen
All bonds broken
Forged of lies
Entrenched and held within
Relinquish the covenant
The rot cannot be drawn
From dead veins
Unremitting in worship
Of empty gods
Return to the dawn
Before invoking
Our own suffering
Bear witness to what is before us
Dissolve all the illusions
Be brought back down to ashes
