From high above the starlit sky Cast a shadow over the beings of time And space between the stars is dark Denied by light Hidden among the shadow A slithering rapture The light of the stars Unveils its capture The cross of chains and hooks Pierce through the palm of the hand Until there is nothing more to gain And the chains circle the arm Twisted across from side to side But merely a limb can't fulfill their hunger As there is much more in the illusion of desire And the chains cocoon the lungs The hour at hand will complete the rite Anxious gasp for air Inhales the life out of the living And by every pull of the chained hand The cycle starts again
