By this gasping death rattle

I have brought grace upon us

One part severed for the sake of the whole



Divine opportunities only to be condemned

By naive and ungrateful wretches

Their chains fastened to my soul

My eyes were laid upon

The unspeakable

The unknowable

My dreams bore the seed

Of a bleak and horrifying future

A black and ceaseless tide of oblivion

The dream alone a burden almost as unbearable

As the task that lay complete before me

A deed for which I will be renowned and cursed

Renowned and cursed

It is set in motion now

The gears that turn cannot be slowed

I must betray my earthly form

Cast down all for which it yearns

By the fear of judgement and the brand of eternity

I have been cloven in two

Yet only one may carry on

Only one may carry on

Rid our bloodline of impurity

One part severed for the sake of the whole

Purging what is to be purged

One part severed for the sake of the whole

Repressing the pain and guilt

That tears at this mortal shell

How could one justify

Such an inhuman display of carnage

Released from his blasphemies

You have been born again

She will come to see the truth as well

You have brought forth a means to an end

Cool air on my face

And blood on my robes

Blood that is my own

Though my skin remain untorn

I now dread the terror that will grip her face

And the scream that will pierce my heart

Her son cut wide open

And her lover gone insane

Revelling in his occultic art
