[Lyric] Fluorescent Halls of Decay (Aethereus)

I have seen what waits before me
Lurking in the infinite depths of a starless aeon;
Faceless ghouls devouring spectral light
My dying essence nourishes their malice

I hear a voice calling for me
Beckoning me to drown in isolation
Vision fades as rot collapses my lungs
My veins burst from the unrelenting pressure

Cylindric conduits cycle blood through my veins;
Containing me, Sustaining me
Here in this place, death lies in wait
Calling for me, consuming me

The magnificence of this sanctum belie
The grotesque morbidity it tries to hide
Horrors echo in the halls of decay
Where within I will forever remain

I feel my memories leaving me
As if all that at once was shall soon be naught
Strident ringing supplants my cognizance;
Further isolated from all that is around me
I fear that time is ending me
Casting me into an inexorable oblivion
To exist solely as an abstraction;
An intangible ghost haunting a fluorescent chasm

Cylindric conduits cycle blood through my veins;
Containing me, Sustaining me
Here in this place, death lies in wait
Calling for me, consuming me

As atrophy destroys my appendages
My withering husk expels its putrescence
However, as the old flesh becomes cold
It dispenses nothing but silence

The deafening roar of vacuity freezes those that remain in time
With baited breath they wait for that which will not come

I no longer am
Nor shall I be again

Stay your hands no more
Stay your hands no more
Release me

I no longer am
Nor shall I be again
Stay your hands no more
Release me
Cylindric conduits cycle blood through my veins;
Containing me, Sustaining me
Here in this place, death lies in wait
Calling for me, consuming me

The magnificence of this sanctum belies
The grotesque morbidity it tries to hide
Horrors echo in the halls of decay
Where within I will forever remain

Where within I will forever remain
