Psalm Of Agony

Psalm of agony!

Becoming God is no longer enough
This transformation, my sin against creation
Unnatural modification of this pitiful fucking form held in chains of deprivation

This shell so fraily draped around the failing structure of my hollow bones
My spirit seeks a better home
Than this palace so corrupt its windows shield the vibrance of the coming day
Succumb to death or succumb to flame

In the comfort of the gallows
Cradled by the hate that was bred in the dark
Fed by my heart
Slowly festering until the only voice in my head is fear

I have to find a way out

If Apollo's holy face never shines upon me
I'll wrap myself in raven's wings
If all I will know is decay, may it enrapture me
So, I will sing eternally my psalm of agony

Becoming God is no longer enough
The pain of power, the burden of omniscience
Unnatural modification of this pitiful fucking form held in chains of deprivation

With cursed hands outstretched to heavens far beyond the reach of common man
Such fear and wonder
Flesh torn in two, the sinews fray like thread
My evolution, transmogrification
The changing of seasons
The weight of chains once wrapped around my neck now ash and dust beneath my feet
No god is my master, no longer prey to the hunter
I shed my skin and shatter the spine that carried my burden

If Apollo's holy face never shines upon me
I'll wrap myself in raven's wings
If all I will know is decay, may it enrapture me
So, I will sing eternally my psalm of agony

Psalm of agony
Psalm of agony
I'll wrap myself in raven's wings
If all I will know is decay, may it enrapture me
So, I will sing eternally my psalm of agony

It overwhelms me, succumb to the flame
My shoulder blades give way to feathers forming, my skin is falling away and I feel everything

My soul is ripped from my flesh
As I ascend to Heaven

Witness the pain of power
My excruciating evolution, transmogrification
The changing of seasons
