Caress the dead stone in my cell Can one miss what he's never felt? Endless joy drowned before closed doors Yet gave my life to salvage yours Don't look to the place where I left my soul My barren skin hoards the cold and feeds my demons Forsaken carcass left of me The void asks for my recipe Behold – as reason fails All hail – the womb of Château d'If Weight of death dwarfed by shame and guilt Desperate to blend into your guild One cannot befriend the world With image of himself so blurred Dreaded solitude my final destiny Memories of mother's tender whispering – a desperate remedy Forsaken carcass left of me The void asks for my recipe Behold – as reason fails All hail – the womb of Château d'If On my foolish demand They gladly cede the burden of the world Judging, grinning at my broken bones Distinctive misery I am what you long to be Embodiment of your craving Hence I draw the conclusion – you're stupid as shit Watching your grace defines suffering For what it's worth I bestow the essence of my soul Forsaken carcass left of me The void asks for my recipe Behold – as reason fails All hail – the womb of Château d'If
