I am shedding skin From a vision obscured I am shedding skin Unfolding from the veil I am shedding skin From perspective blurred I will shed this skin Mind burning like a million suns Come forth from fire Standing naked to the flame In cold triumphant silence Penetrating deeper into darkness Each stitch down, a bridge to planes, beyond the scope of men Edging ever nearer to the gateways of transformation Living each moment, departing from the flesh beneath Enraptured in timeless metamorphic moments Re-skinned by chaos Inner worlds returning I will shed this skin Re-skinned by fire Soul shards burning I will shed this skin Shifting, moving Come forth from fire Shifting, moving Crawling through wombs upon black wombs Shifting, moving Standing naked to the flame Shifting, moving Passing inner shields Stand tall in fire Shedding skin Hides carved from voids Shedding skin Time parting like cosmic tides Shedding skin Peeling away each layer of my soul Shedding skin A lifeless mask of ash remains Shifting, moving Come forth from fire Shifting, moving Crawling through wombs upon black wombs Shifting, moving Standing naked to the flame Shifting, moving Passing inner shields Stand tall in fire Releasing spirit from shriveling flesh Releasing soul from the clutches of fate Released through spirit from astral flesh Released through soul from beaten path Released through spirit, the ritual death Released through soul, the cage of flesh Come forth from fire, standing naked to the flame Being human, being flesh, being skin Stand tall in fire, flayed naked by the flame Being nothing, being all, I am not flesh No more of this flesh Shifting, moving Come forth from fire Shifting, moving Crawling through wombs upon black wombs Shifting, moving Standing naked to the flame Shifting, moving Stand tall in fire Stand tall in fire Stand tall in fire
