Ulcerate - Cutting The Throat Of God lyrics



Tracks



01. To Flow Through Ashen Hearts

Stare above at projections from a vast sky
In awe as it decays before these eyes
Concealed memories are foreboding
To see within and envenom

This yawning chasm was created
In antipathy
In iniquity
To flow through ashen hearts
In antipathy
Through and across all time

Face the real
Inward toward darkness
To be enveloped
Blind and aimless

Rusted to abject skin, torn from the bone
Cannot unravel these shackles which strangle eternity

When the real becomes overbearing
Confront the self and its iniquity in every atom
Blind and aimless
Aimless, at its mercy

These wicked and tortured dreams
Intertwined with the real
Until becoming the real

Absent in this illusion
Absent from this reality
Falling into the terror of this reflection

02. The Dawn Is Hollow

Forbidden to see the evident
In fires immersive
Demolish the myth of permanence

Imprisoned by inward revulsion
The dawn is hollow
Failing to distinguish between life and death

The iconoclast’s separation from meaningless decay
This adornment trivial when we will all burn

Deception interwoven in poisoned judgement

Transfixed by illumination
Last steps to withdrawal
The dust cannot settle as disorder persists

The iconoclast’s separation from meaningless decay
This adornment trivial when we will all burn

Toward a bitter end

Reckoning with the aftermath
Of a future left wanting
What once was whole
Now shattered into pieces

Lacerations are the sign to relinquish
Foreshadow immiseration
Toward a bitter end

Unceasing dereliction
Unrelenting decline
Desolation is the arc of life’s motion

03. Further Opening The Wounds

Eternally reborn, unreprieved
Endowed with misery, without a shred of grace

Stalked along this dead path by impending rapture
Cancerous premonitions stain the perspective
The erasure enclosing
Advanced with a sickening prevalence

Draw apart this opening to the soul
And see no light through the cracks in the surface
Too far inside this labyrinth of chaos
Atrophied yet messianic

Writhing in the vacant expanse
To ash and dirt, minds transform
The dread of totality is self-realising

Through crowning the pitiful
Subjugate and release into free fall
In consummation of agony
I am left broken, splintered and gaunt

No refuge
No liberation
No respite
The dread of totality is self-realising

Absolved in perdition
Absolved by blood

04. Transfiguration In And Out Of Worlds

Downcast within primordial depths
Shallow breath after shallow breath
The anguish of emptiness manifest

Within a caustic web of old truths
Retreat into treachery
And succumb to the interregnum

Constructed of shadows
Strangled by thoughts
Subordinate fear
Churning inside
Gasping for release into the wilderness

In the grasp of forfeiture
The light is all but gone
Stasis lies between the vestige
And the altar upon which it rests
Stasis lies at the precipice

Transfiguration in and out of worlds and minds entrapped
Spiralling below what can be redeemed

Exhausted and adrift
Remnants of bitterness choke all life until silent
Nothing to negate this malicious blood
Yet it runs through everything

Awake to exist
Alive to expire
The anguish of emptiness manifest

Breathe, and cover scarred eyes to eclipse death

Awake to exist
Alive to expire
Eclipse death

05. To See Death Just Once

This grave error seeks solace in vehemence
In pointlessness, in lawlessness
To see death just once

Dead and gone

With the passing of the rubicon
Drift into this coveted and guiltless prayer

Beg to dispossess and vanquish

Condemn the sanctuary and obstruct all new beginnings
And the reverence of inhumanity avowed

Approaching the last entropy

Incarcerated in the purest cataclysm
Of being, of knowing
The deepest hell

This discontent is a mirror before me
Countlessly broken and unbroken
The air becoming thin among the disquiet
Resurrection bestowed on the unwilling

Embracing the last entropy
Reject and betray existence

06. Undying As An Apparition

Resent the flesh and blood
Leave the frail to hang
Revelation through nothing
Detest the void unearthed
In its sanctity
Emancipation through nothing

Under torrents of time’s passage
The dawn of awakening is the end of its promise
As extinction begins

In metamorphosis
Reveal the blank figures
Eyes roll back into breathless escape
To depart this scorched earth drained and empty

Undying as an apparition

Each moment is fractured
Revelation through nothing
Every second is tainted
Emancipation through nothing

Revere this false dawn bearing scars of the wretched
Succumb to death’s shallowness
Corrupted by death’s shallowness
It lays defeated

Never free
Never free from time’s clutches
Captive in soulless mortality

Never free
Next to the graves of all the others
Next to the graves unheard

07. Cutting The Throat Of God

Suffer not through veins which never bleed
But by the vacuous instinct
Hope has diminished without fear or hesitance

Sever
Repent and sever
The unspoken

With each obscuring of horror
Into the endless downward spiral
Hold to the edge of loss
Merciless and final is the verdict

At its core it’s bereft of all strength

Pain can’t end

Sever
Repent and sever
The unspoken

Last moments until the erosion
When the misery will compound
With the tightening of each breath
And the fog now descending

The execution of omnipotence
The divinity to become
The supine inflicted with one more tragedy
The apostasy of the unspoken

Cutting the throat of God

The passage to atonement has vanished
True repentance was never in reach

Stricken down through compulsion
Starved of the world

Cutting the throat of God
