lyrics

The world is nothing but embers
I can’t hope to be more than foul ash
I’ve waited and bided time
-Manifested filth that fills my insides

Am I the weakness that flickers?
All I’ve become is filth that hinders
Is this fate preordained without release?
All I can hope is to be erased
To be erased

this disintegration resides within existence.
No hope to begin as all things must end.
All things must end.

In ancient remnants of flame I sit ruined.
Sifting through ashes while dimming embers sear my bloodstained hands.
-A cinder piece that finds no spark for release
Cycles of existing in between, choking on the decay.
Biding time as all things fade.
Mired in the vistas of virulence, this blight demands suffering inside this body,
Ashen ivory fueling my deterioration.
Detached from my mindset, centuries failed.
How can I persist?

Rooted in all of this failure, can I even claim to exist?
The roots ensnare my feeble mind, do I even deserve to survive?
-Or will I writhe?
Will this passive state claim my mind?
Dread latches onto my visage

Can I become detached from this mindset?
Will breaking free find something real?
This void existence shifting,
The embers slowly whispering
Mocking the memories with nothing to show

Rooted in all of this failure, can I even claim to exist?
The roots ensnare my feeble mind, do I even deserve to survive?

No solace found in the pieces of this existence
Tired of endless torments in this twisted spiral sequence
I forged dread and let this filth reside inside
Now I reach into fix what’s become awry

I am the only flame to arise,
The one to ignite the filth that hinders.
If this is fate then I’ll alight, I will become the king of cinder
