I'm tearing off my skin

Awakening my mind

To all that's ever been

I've slit the yearning throat of time

And worn the face of gods

At masquerades sublime

A thousand centuries unfold

Overcast memories

Of Acapulco gold

When was the last time that I died?

At least a lifetime since

The cosmos ossified

False kings and prophets scream my name

Worldbane

Atomic dictate I've proclaimed

Worldbane

Predestined fate takes hold

Expanding universe

Heat death as I foretold

Prophetic reveries collide

Brushing aside the ruins

The heavens codified

Ten million spectral lines condense

On icy mausoleum

No escaping consequence

From 'neath Europan seas he'll rise

Cancer to the universe

Set to metastasize

Unbroken lifeline split in twain

Worldbane

Entire universe disdained

Worldbane

False kings and prophets scream my name

Worldbane

Atomic dictate I've proclaimed

Worldbane
