lyrics

The Embalmer

I cut and sew to sublime demise from a septic distance,
contend with the mescaline of mortal deception,
eradicate the construct of perpetual motion
that lies behind the threshold of human illusions :
to born is to be prey of death’s cyclical inception

The truth is not stored in the eyes but wrapped around my mind
A soul measures itself if applied to perception
but you’re still trapped between deceiving realms
shaped by Hermes to release his beast: the eternal becoming
You are but a dull guest in this dark world

Corpses hang from hooks as chained scarecrows,
rotting pantomimes of human being,
their stench is a deep and pure breath to me

They’re mine embalmed tarots of flesh
Scraps barely survived to the triumph of time
My finest act of worship to the prelude of decomposition

Dried organs are fruits no longer forbidden
Obsidian blades breed my hunger
I’m a blood-soaked maggot,
omnivore and devoted to the decline

Ashes keep filling the air with dead skin scent
Eviscerated bodies stand still as wretched vessels
wisely devoid of secreted fluids for precious ointments
The art of dismemberment is an unquestionable creed

No one will survive to see the cycles of mankind
I am meticulous observer of the unbearable frailty of life
There’s no shame in pursuing the ultimate knowledge
Nor remorse in taking one more step into what is yet unknown .
