A Mere Mortal Man

Battered and bruised by reality
I carve my path through the fog
but the Abyss has its own agenda
Who am I to be bestowed this gift?
Its many curses a burden upon my flesh,
mortally flawed and erred by life itself.
What if I cannot survive the trials,
what if I am not only ingested, but devoured?
This unworthy bag of bones
I shall nonetheless see to the end
lest I be condemned
and cast aside like sticks and stones

[feat. Thor Eide of Planetkiller]
I gaze into the void, no, I fall in
and it's more than evident
that a menagerie of terror
swims in the immeasurable darkness
waiting for their time of freedom
just at the edge of human flesh
just at the precipice of mortal perception
the precipice of mortal perception
[Thor]
A pantheon of abominations
teems in the emptiness
perpetual hunger, infinite horror
restless to feed on human fear
the apocalypse isn't nigh, it's here
I reel in terror, dread gripping my nerves
but the Abyss has only been glimpsed
it has yet to be truly heard
so I continue to gawk, awestruck
open eared, my skull as if split
and the horrors within, refuse to relent

[feat. Paul Vakhlakov of Infiltration]
I'm spit out, salivated but not ingested
left to wonder what the FUCK just happened
In an unconscious state I find myself
bombarded with the urge to abandon life
but in dreams flesh speaks and mine won't shut the fuck up
[Paul]
I am your brain, your lungs and heart
demanding you to pick up the shards
and learn from the Abyss, not give in
but the despair devours me
[Paul]
Fear has mutilated us but without it there is no progress
so unbury yourself and find purpose in the clearing darkness
I, your very flesh, will guide you through this
Who am I to ignore my own carcass?
it still manages to flourish
despite the horrors it has witnessed -
stuck in it like splinters, fractals of the Abyss
Fractals of the Abyss

Annihilation of Self
01:10

|
This transmogrification
has left my eyes
wider than excavated caverns
Though my flesh is unharmed
the remains of my mind
wade through the realization
that change is needed
that selflessness is the seed
in which apocalypses
are averted
I will not err…
(but it won't matter)
