The Disease of Astonishment Lyrics


Death, breathing down your neck

Here to take your soul

To its resting place

But first, it must become one

With the frozen air

A sentence handed down

From which you can’t return

Hear the church bell signal midnight

From the darkness of your cell

The freezing stone burns your skin

As you can hear the final knell

The cell door opens you know it’s time

Your ankles tied they drag you through

The frozen grass into a tomb

The world goes dark, you breath in hard

Awaken, restrained sacrifice

The blades run down your skin in symmetry

Your blood like ice

The strips of flesh pulled from your body

Flayed for the pleasure of their god.

The disease of astonishment

A curse on the covenant

Removed by a sacrifice

Of only the purest blood.

The faintest breath you’re still alive

Hoping that the end will come soon

As your body’s deconstructed

Pieces stored for later use

The final sound your mind percieves

Is the pouring of the salt

The burning pain of dessication.

The world goes dark you breathe no more

Death is here to take your hand

Your body parts are seperated

You can never be at rest

Torment those who took your skin

Seeking vengeance for their sin

Guide their souls into the darkness

From which, they can’t return.
