about

Track 4 of 5 out of "Thanatoscope", first EP released in 2010.

lyrics

The Arcane Roof-Garden

A sanctuary where to savour a slow suffering,
where the silence is a limb of rage
drilled deeply into the amygdala

My twisted senses crave for a symbiosis
revealed by ecstatic visions of agony
and trapped inside this garden so vicious

When the gaze meets the abyss,
there is no turning back
from the shrine of such revelation

A sublime thirst for torture leads my eyes
over lashed and maimed bodies,
which stand still like a giant bleeding tree

Beneath the mosaic of my creation
pleasure seems to be a metaphysical illusion
that runs along the cortex as adrenaline

Beyond the sleep of reason
every wound is an empty truth
The symmetry of amputations flow
through the signs hidden in hypostatic stains,
as victims were rotten fruits that ripen on
hundred of hanging corpses to which I belong

A ravenous unconsciousness feeds
the arcane duality of death and sex drives
and I get pleasure from their purulent stench

Stare at disgusting nemesis of the corpse tree of knowledge
Cartilage, skin and sores are the pillars
of our wretched way to be food for the gods.
