Tempting Death

(album: Vital Deprivation - 2019)

Death, still I beckon thee
Embrace me with your grandeur
This mental crucifixion leaves me desolate and cursed
Eternally forsaken
Profound misery
Tormented by a reality of suffering

Dispossess this agony that binds me
Barely living, constant dread
Withering awaiting my lonesome end

Years bleeding sorrow and wasted breath
Clawing the hourglass
For I mourn each day deprived of death

So scorn and forgotten
Drowning within a boundless doom

Desolation giving way to dead eyes
Death, I beckon thee
Scorn deprived of my destiny
Cowardice now grace me with your presence
For each breath I take is an agonizing and grueling lesson

Kiss of death, take me away
For thy touch shall grant me blissful escape
Battered and bruised
And I come for your pure salvation
Tempting your malevolence to free myself of damnation
Silent overseer
Devour me with thy malignant grace

Dispossess this agony that binds me
Barely living, constant dread
Withering awaiting my lonesome end

An intrinsic peril
Drowning within this doom
Desolate and cold
Guide me to my wretched tomb

Without repentance I falter
Lead me to rot so my name can be forgot
Mangled and dismantled
Every single breath feeds this vicious cancer

Eternally forsaken
Drowning within this doom
Deprived of my destiny

I dwell within this desolation
Hand of liberation
Free me from this oppression
No longer shall I be ignored
