lyrics

I’m nothing but a shadow roaming
Aimlessly surfacing the earth,
A floating mass of wasted ruin
Carried offshore by currents of the deep.

The wooden block on scaffolds
With lust for dark red blood,
The hanging rope that down low flutters
Above the shadow of the hanged.

I am a candle in the sky of morning
That on the firmament goes pop,
I have no joy, I owe no merit.
I am Azrael, prophet of death.

Attuned to pain and sorrow,
I’m sinfully submitted to the nude
An infant glued to anguish and tormention,
Thriving on venom, not on wholesome food.

I am the vox clamantis in deserto,
And I can sense the hiss of snakes around
As I say hail to days of resurrection
In dry chants of funeral drums.
