I Saw Oblivion Lyrics


I saw…Oblivion!

Anguished shrieks of torment ring out against thee

Immemorial, upon the eroding winds of time

Inexorably struggle against this self-fulfilling prophecy

Relentlessly pursued by the weaving sisters of grief

With thirsty bloodlust, I rage against destiny

Spit repudiation into the mouths of circumstance (cursed inevitability)

Strangled by my own mortal coil, I foresee

Even the gods must face their own mortality

And with dead eyes, I saw oblivion…

An arcane horror dawns upon the twilight of my humanity

A primordial and paradoxical truth which guides our blades

I will not be beholden to such an asinine fallacy

Declare martial law on time’s institutionalised contract

I cannot abide and live in this infantile fantasy

Demand these apportioners of divine will’s heads

Freewill is a conception made by man’s self-willed destiny

And I shalt not be bound to this preordained finality

And with dead eyes, I saw oblivion…

My breath turns hoarse…

My throat is raw…

Entropy, I come to worship at your altar

So that I may finally see

I cut out my eyes…

My soul it still yearns…

Entropy….I beg of thee receive this supplication

Let this not be a foregone conclusion

Atropos….Let man’s freewill guide his own destiny

Let thou choose thine own longevity

Entropy….Upon death’s horizon I have seen

With dead eyes, in revelation I believe

Entropy’s loyal servant for eternity…

Gouged my eyes out in a visceral offering…

Blind, I wade through life’s waters stygian…

Down on my knees, I beg for oblivion!

Prepare for oblivion….

I saw oblivion

But it was not of my own design

Atropos’ ghastly shears

Cut thy string so that I may be free!

I saw oblivion

But it was not of my own design

Free of their strings

Fated to my own self-willed destiny

Once blind, fated to witness this obscene absurdity

Free from their schemes, no longer bound to their will

Upon death’s horizon I have seen a life of inferiority

The reckoning of my soul hath liberated me from their path

Shackled to providence’s endless wheel of misery

In stygian waves, this self-fulfilling prophecy begins anew (cursed inevitability)

As we guide our blades inward, so that we may see

The burning truth radiates upon my own fatality

And with dead eyes, I saw oblivion…

With dead eyes, I now see life’s cruel totality

My accomplishments for naught, lost in the sands of time

Deceived into thinking man makes his own destiny

I embrace this revelation without respite

The reconciliation of the Moirai’s paradoxical duality

Entropy our master, as we fade into obscurity

While locked in this prison of my own self-fulfilling prophecy

I forever remain bound to ephemerality

And in transcendence, I am oblivion…

I saw oblivion!

I am oblivion!
