lyrics

Ravaged by the torments of the sea
Nightmares pale to reality
A raft lashed from family’s flesh
Enslaved by insanity

My lives past
On display (revolting)
Hallucinate
To escape

Salt water gnaws my flesh
Turning paler than my bones

My lives past
On display (vile servant)
Hallucinate
To escape

Bloated faces speak their horror
At the thing I have become
But they don’t see the visions
Transgressing all belief

I remember when I used to serve

As a priest
To vermin
Altar of plague
My domain

Bow your head
Save your prayer
Vermin teeth begin to tear
The screams are prayers to the pain
Insatiable, you live in vain

Sacrifice
Unending
Kill to feed
Breed the gods

Spawn are feasting on your flesh
My vile gods spreading death
The piles of bones begin to rise
Towers of white beneath dead skies

No more humans left to kill
The gods destroyed by their own will
Scratching at each others’ eyes
Architects of deicide

The final howls begin to sound
The temple crashes to the ground
Earth is steeped in vermin blood
My altar sinks beneath the flood
