Homunculus Lyrics


Ambivalent creation

Of a divine will

You are the servant of evil

Do not ignore your lust for power

Come now, join us in this slaughter

Defend us,

O creature, this foundling

Naked, thrashing and screaming

This being will guide us to our destiny

Sit upon the horizon

Function according to our design

Concealed thoughtlessness

Constrained callousness

Envision peace in this time

Through blood soaked eyes

Slave to be mastered

Power to be tapped

Grotesquely conjured of lies

Through blood soaked eyes

Our work, our goal

May be completed

We may break the walls

And leave here

If you can accept these curses

Ascend to your ancient timeless purpose

Discarded, desperate

Not one of us

A vile form that disgusts us

Desired only for its potential

Anything less demands we kill

Concealed thoughtlessness

Constrained callousness

Envision peace in this time

Through blood soaked eyes

Slave to be mastered

Power to be tapped

Grotesquely conjured of lies

Through blood soaked eyes

Celestial glory

For the taking

Unleash a storm

Of your making

It looks upon us

Twisted face and hateful scowl

Does it see itself in us

It reaches out as if to call

Aspects of man

In form and stance

Dare we approach

This mournful form

Should we destroy it

Is it one of our own?

Does it seek to learn, or only to grow

Forced evolution in a dripping maw

To be filled with recycled flesh

When there is nothing left, condemn it to death

Or put it to work

It moves mountains by force

through the air it can fly

It can touch the heart of lightning

Can nothing lead it to die?

It belongs in our order

It was only made

Knowledge distressing

Never-born will it believe

That the air is ruled by monsters

That scorch and break the sky

Who boil the sees to poison

Who gorge and bleed the ground

This creature is part of it

Both want it as theirs

Both sides seek dominion

Neither to repair

A greatness I feel inside myself

I could rule from a throne on high

Make the clouds my castle

power tempting, I can't deny

It is out empyrean quest

to make sense of dire chaos

Claim it now, before it's too late

Around your throat tightens

the grip of fate
