Pre-order “Universal Death Church”
‘Qliphotic Alpha’ lyrics
I keep running but the time is slipping out
From the void that was my head
Where does it end?
What is right?
It matters not
Left to rot
Life is over but the fight won’t leave
As the light pours out of me
Where does it end?
What is right?
Dragged down
To endless night
I feel your judgement stick into my skin
When I taste the fever in your eyes
Shining black sun
A visionless sky
As I become
Suicide juggernaut
Pathways laid by the snake
Our piss and shit is love and hate
Where does it end?
What is right?
It matters not
Left to rot
Unexplored shame, sickening rays
Lifeless condition furthers our gains
Where does it end?
What is right?
Dragged down
To endless night
Shining black sun
A visionless sky
As I become
Suicide juggernaut
I killed the dream right before the shit
Like still life a numb mind hurts
It’s in the face of obsession masking a cancer
Life cast the shadow
The dark pours out of me
