lyrics

Death Rules Everything Around Me,
I look upon life with despair.
My own consciousness is an avatar
for something that's not there.
An emptiness with the weight of the eternal,
more real than the flesh infection convinced that it is living,
a beauty beyond beauty runs pulsating through the cities
so much farther than the living eye could ever stand to see.

Nothing is a concept from which nothing can escape,
and only nothing in its absence can evade the reaper's rape:
hard and faster than the light can show,
but annihilation is beyond the blow.

A lasting recollection of unending, skull shattering pain.
Is this the way it feels?
Isn't matter strange?

Death rules everything around me.

Death rules everything around me and I dream
of lying in its court forever unseen,
in love and hate beyond all sense
in dissolute form and timeless tense
in a kingdom of sadness immemorial to time,
in a sweeping dark vastness imperceptibly wide
stretching underneath the waters of a captive mind,
torn shattered, and rebuilt in a cold design:

Death rules everything around me.

If you're reading this - Gods of the Dead is the good one. Listen to that first if you're going to listen to anything on here. It's actually pretty solid.

Atlanta Monsters' Ball is also nice.
