Brace for the slow decline, my brother
Now is the time to pray
Cry when the panic puts claws into your heart
But it’s now too late
The waves will wash this shore forever
Their diamond shimmers winking, beautiful
Beneath the waves I’m sinking
Reach above
Glide through the halls of tissue and decay
In a beast once proud
Drown in the stench of decomposing flesh
Feel it in your lungs
Feed on the innocent
Give back to nature
Feed on the guilty
Give what you borrowed
Join in with the cosmic dance of death
On the outside looking in, it’s fear-inducing
On the inside looking out, it’s so perplexing
Father, have you turned your face away?
Angels, have you nothing more to say?
Hark! The majesty of our decay
Scream if you’re feeling helpless and alone
And I know you are
Hush, there are voices singing in return
Like a choir of dying babies
