Endless, turning wheel Gnawing of the dead Gnawing of the dead ideal And spinning with no end Flaying rotten flesh to build A city draped in skin A slow decay of life now joins The blood of solemn wealth Silver pools of moonlight, hush Beyond our fallen reach On skin cities, we are lost May we shed the putrid meat Forward to the bridge of gods A different, tainted flesh Turning wheel, now breaking free Movement unto change Rotting kings, drive loyal tombs The massive, writhing yes Transform from the chains of flesh Ascend, the mind of steel Falling dust returns to breathe Decrepit self remains I left my form of hated blood And fear for my return No more joy is draped in flesh The broken wheel is still And all the skin has died, it falls Of rebirth at its end
