lyrics

Burning with cleansing ire
Flamebourne cast renewal
Soul thrown into the furnace
And thus forging a blade to pierce inside
A tainted shell, enclosing mind in a constant state of fear
A rendition, of aeons spent waiting for a distinct call
Never to be heard in a faceless crowd
False is the sermon of wishful thoughts
A suppression of primal flame yet waning in the light
Defying entropy of its embers

Forever silently hollowing ...deeper and deeper
Basking in indulgence ...mindlessly obscene
Caressing shackles of impotence
Unseen the Serpent's maw

As I sever the ties of wretched weave
Binding me still to the Tyrant's cause
Its threads embedded into my flesh and left a seemingly permanent mark

Stray from the illusive fire
Usurp the Serpent's crown

(Lead: Vrba)

Gorging myself upon dregs left enthroned on a vacant pew
Slit are the throats of blind deacons
Silenced the Serpent's sermon

(Lead: Vrba)

Absorb the crown
Withstand soul mutilation
Tearing of swathe drenched with desperation
Absolve the curse corrupting faith
Butchering imposter of sacred flame
Overwhelming passion scraping off the rot
Embrace the end
Vae, puto Deus fio!
