My descent is the story of everyman
|
I am hatred, darkness and despair
|
My descent is the story of everyman
|
I am hatred, darkness and despair
|
|
Evoked and entertained through centuries
|
Wrathful and sullen--dormant still
|
|
The ferocity pervades everywhere
|
Waiting to be released at last
|
Hear my offering
|
Ye bastard sons and daughters
|
Share my sacrifice
|
Share my sacrifice
|
|
My descent is the story of everyman
|
I am hatred, darkness and despair
|
My descent is the story of everyman
|
I am hatred, darkness and despair
|
|
Reconcile not with the fear of the snake
|
But embrace it as your own
|
Inject its venom into your veins
|
And replant the seed that gives growth
|
Still shrouded in mystery
|
Until you arise above perception
|
A veil of ignorance is emotion
|
Continuing throughout generations
|
|
The snake is notoriously tempting
|
But the snake is fair
|
What is worse than not knowing?
|
To live or disappear?
|
|
The ferocity pervades everywhere
|
Waiting to be released at last
|
Hear my offering
|
Ye bastard sons and daughters
|
Share my sacrifice
|
Share my sacrifice
|
