Defected at the start My will bent at the knee For the hallowed prospective award Doppleganger-bound pantomime Singing necrotic hymns of resurrection I drain the poison plasma that runs through me I can't wait to melt away Wax marionette Unbound vibrations The light greets me All of my life I have been waiting This shell is nothing Release me! Release me from this poison of plastic flesh Give me the ichor Plead your case Transforming into realms of ecstatic decay Nine pairs of eyes Revolve around my guise I can see the divisions melting by the light Of the fallen one Tempting me once was the man whose law is writ in stone Tempting me twice was the man whose blood I've known No one can tell if I'm shackled or on a throne Tempting me last were the seven swords for chipping bones No wrath No vengeful god denying Your right to affirm your life and live it now Your heart, mind and will are your only laws I am the omnianthrologos, I'm the serpent This is my flesh-bood kingdom and mine alone Blasphemy! every breath is sin The division line a condemnation Fire raining down from the absolute I will suffer through this decrepit fallen state Pay off my carnal debt and receive the prize awaiting me I'm so weak I can't control the motions of the earth Stone grip slipped and let it go I taught myself how to part the red clouds And scale the sky Climb my gold chains But I hit a reflective dome ceiling Looked into my own eyes and he said "They've gone away forever! Break the chain, embrace what's ahead, together!"
