lyrics

The sweetest poison you could ever taste
A pale, white mask hides a shifting face
A phantom trace, a whisper in the wind
Bloodlines of the internal bred
Their parasitic ejaculate
Fills the mouths and minds of the arrogant
But their pockets full, interests centralized
Set their chess boards down, send the pawns to die

Towers burn as blind eyes meet
Nations topple and its near complete
Debt slaves mindless to the monument
To the Devilgod who wields the whip
Empty hosts roam the streets
Chasing affluence just to kill their dreams
Born to bleed all they have to give
Fighting to survive, dying to live

The invisible hand; it’s puppets stitched into its fingers
Disinter, dead ringer
The manifold brews the sepsis
The New Age Crisis
The shadow moves lithe through the fog
Evaporates back into nothing
Heavy lies the ground that floods from the storm
Shapeshifter takes form


Marionettes hung by their strings
Asphyxiate whilst a black swan sings
“Praise be! Praise be!”
The workers shout
Watch the shadow coalesce when the light gives out
Sift through the murk as its eyes dilate
Warping wakened minds as they plead their case
The figure stands
Becomes defined
And one by one
We march in line
To manifest the seed
Recite the Holy Creed
The gazing watchful Eye
Proliferates the skies

The invisible hand; it’s fingers stitched into our lives
Like lemmings off the edge of a knife
The Holy Grail holds the sepsis
The blood of the Crisis
The shadow brings us to our knees
The species disease unleashed
Crying tears of joy
As we kiss the hand
And bow in the aura of the Crooked Man
