Lyrics

Devoid of vision  
Lost in despair  
A lack of decision  
Because nothing is fair  

Soul defeated,  
Body bruised  
Heart bewildered  
Life force used  

Trapped within this Grand Guignol  
This Theatre of Cruelty  
Wherein I am both protagonist and antagonist  

Spiritual consumption, the only dish that keeps me sated  
Ethereal essence oozing on my chin, my mad hunger abated  
Alas, ‘tis only a matter of time until I must feed again, hated  
Despised, comprised, only of a bitter urge, and fated  
To regress to this seemingly pitiful form, my grin serrated  
I forget my path up to now, my former self flagellated  
Mutilated, nails driven through flesh, limbs perforated  
This unholy contract has been consummated  
I leave behind an empty husk, eviscerated  

I begged myself to sow my eyes shut  
For I could not stand to see  
What was becoming of me  
A corrupted, twisted visage  
A shadow of my former gnostic glory  

A beast not without grace  
A gaping maw devoid of face  
Outside of time  
Bereft of place  
Barren and destitute  
Spiritual regression  
Would soon follow suite
