Escaped our yesterdays

And yet they have given way

To abandoned scaffolding

Left bear upon a skyline

Denied the heights they would reach

Or the shelter they would mother

Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit!

The under painting is showing through

Grey pigment putrefied

And yet the skeleton somehow more true

Abandoned by its painter

The world is a masterpiece struck dumb by turpentine

For the soul,

The frame cannot contain

the emulsifying spirit

Drowned in Water

Corrodes the soul

Yet the stone gets hotter

Bathed in Vitriol

Now Raise the Gorgon’s Head

With the Star so Malefic

Poison the Waters of Return

To invert the Runes Horrific

Drown in water

Corrode your soul

The stone still Hotter

Bathed in Vitriol

They Raised the Gorgon’s Head

Now the Stars they’re so Malefic

They Poisoned the Waters of Return

Inverted Runes Horrific

The world is a masterpiece struck dumb by turpentine

For the soul,

The frame cannot contain

the emulsifying spirit

We Raised the Gorgon's Head

and now the Stars they're so Malefic

We poisoned the Waters of Return

Inverted the Runes Horrific

Drown in water

Corrode your soul

The stone still Hotter

Bathed in V.I.T.R.I.O.L.
