lyrics

These burning fields, on this darkened night
Scorch the stars above, set the world on fire
Contemplate these thoughts, human consciousness
The illusion of self, creates identity

Livid lacerations staining the deathlike skin
Fill the void with trivial worship
This crown of antlers, thorns piercing through the veil
Crucify this sacrifice
The monster lies at the end of your dreams
Shadows wait in carcosa
All hail the yellow king shall rise

Utilizing fear to dull rationale
Expectation of divine reward
Trapped convictions of human vanity
Delusion of our relevance

Livid lacerations staining the deathlike skin
Fill the void with trivial worship
This crown of antlers, thorns piercing through the veil
Crucify this sacrifice
The monster lies at the end of your dreams
Shadows wait in carcosa
All hail the yellow king shall rise

The self-righteous preacher man, sells virtue through revulsion
Nothing grows in eternity
Anthropomorphic deities, stand for what purpose I hold
Corruption hinders our vision
To deny our programming, release my apostasy
Crucial targets are misguided
In this foggy damp bayou the devil creeps inside it
He's in the realm of these black stars
The taste of ash reminds you, the scent of dry blood fills you
Enter the tomb of vanished souls
The open sky of blackness leaves you vague and paralysed
Sovereignty will forever be damned
