Esoteric Menagerie Lyrics


Know your god

Meet your god

Eons ago

There was a deity

In duality of darkness and light

Secluded and lost

Caged by eternity

The bounds of its reach stifled by none

In its divinity

The ether transformed into flesh

To share in the physical realm

A body and garden for rest

See the flaws in me

Mechanical gaze of the omnipotent

Feel the thoughts of me

Projecting fear of its past loneliness

Be the catalyst

The jealousy rages of fire and ice

Destroy all of this

An envious self siphoning paradise

Creation was too much to bear

My plague unaware

It brought forth new life

A change for its solitude

An effort of love that can’t be undone

Cursed to conceive

yet not destroy

A fatal mistake that can’t be unmade

Millions of lives

Conformed to travesty

Their withering vine

Spreads only death

Come for the end

Stay for the aftermath

We’ll be alive

When humankind dies

Slowly but surely it dies

See the flaws in me

Watching the downfall and decay of man

Useless hope to be

Waiting for reason to reclaim their hands

Loss of everything

Stripped of my strength at the behest of sin

Dare to make again

Sacrificial ceremony begins

Creation was too much to bear

Spawn of mine

Bathe In degeneracy

Why

Why defile my righteous gift you take for granted

Ill create monstrosities to lift their burden off

And supplicate my throne

Who feast upon the essence and the marrow of your form

Transmuting their crop of humans into seraphs torn

Harvesters whose gluttony will shortly learn to mourn

I confess to wishing for the way things were before

I will rest until the ancients’ conquest wins my war

War

One by one

Blood for blood

The altering of their only world

Please, persevere and claim your hordes

To bide my time

The void surely will make do

Stripped of my power

Locked from flesh

When I return

They will not see a mirror

But a vengeful god in scorn

March

Fight

Kill

End

Rest

Rise

Fall

Fall

Fall into my arms and see such majesty

Crawl amongst the dirt until you’re chosen for my plan

See the flaws in me

Existence denied that an Angel was born

Give my throne away

The Garden was shattered to make it a home

Death of what was pure

Abandoned in darkness to fester and rot

Birth of something more

The light of a seraph restoring its heart

To live in the Tyrants abode

Spawn of mine

Bask in its

Dark mystery

Living in my
