The heirloom of ages

Bred on & within the artifice

Deceit flows as life force

Vanity a gaping plague

Blind, unknowing, defeatism

Passing the punishment

Gifting the curse

Cleaving the heart from soul

Rank with lust

To squander the gift of existence

Walk in penance oblivious

Purgatory of dream & nightmare

Blind, unknowing, defeatism

Passing the punishment

Gifting the curse

Cleaving the heart from soul

Fires of revelation

Sear the flesh on bone

Cleaving the heart from soul

Banished angels beseech

The powers to afflict

Suffering as reward

The sentient sentence

Smother, choke, writhe, bleed

Lost in shadow

A maelstrom of voices

Forever captive

To damnation's gravity

Smother, choke, writhe, bleed

Blind, unknowing, defeatish

Passing the punishment

Gifting the curse

Cleaving the heart from soul

Fires of revelation

Sear the flesh on bone

Cleaving the heart from soul
