Always following this trail of blood I leave behind
Can't out run it's mind, when it smells this pain I hide
I am tortured by the fragile look inside its eyes
Memories of a life distorted by the sands of time
I a mere servant of pain, Developed by the agony hunted by fate
Stalked by it's all consuming embrace, It know's how I bleed and fiends for the taste
It's a box that I shall never escape
Four walls, floor and roof, become my grave
I love how it hurts when I feel thе pain
Punishment slowly burns away all of the shame
A vision of timе, Branded into my mind
Creeping up my spine as I turn away from the blissful light
The hyena awaits me, Thirsting for blood with a heart that is empty
Feasting off flesh when it's done consuming, Buries the bones and finds it all amusing
This poison seeping through my veins
Some call it blood, I call it pain, Foot in the grave, Awaiting the day
This hyena will never cease hunting me
Knowing my name, Scenting my hate, Familiar in taste, I become prey
It stalks me on my path always letting me know I'm within it's grasp
Howling hymns of the past, Death soon follows with time in its hands
It awaits to feed, Circling me, Instinctively, I am undone
It smiles through it's teeth, Waiting for me to accept what I see, Blood fills my lungs, I drown in mud
It gnaws at my flesh, Tears me to death, Savours my breath
My past has caught up to me
I await it so pleasantly
The irony is deafening
Take me from the earth and replace me with a better being
I am devoured by filth, Regression of thought and acceptance of guilt
The hyena tears at the body I've built, Empty inside now my blood has been spilt
I am devoured by filth, Regression of thought and acceptance of guilt
Blood calls for blood I know this is real, I pay the price when my fate is sealed
Death whispers to me beneath disturbed ground
I feel it's judgement as I slowly drown
With the gnashing of teeth I remove my crown
I accept what has come, a moment so profound
The soul entwined with the memories of a past life
It takes me at night, Accepting my penance I willingly die
As time is taken from me, I can see beyond the sky
I have seen this all before, Still I choose to wonder why
Why was I born of hatred?
Why was I tainted light?
Why can't I feel sorrow?
Why can't I even cry?
I become nothing
Just another memory, Vanishing in the mystery of everything
Leave behind only misery, Now I stand at the gates of eternity
I am devoured by filth, Regression of thought and acceptance of guilt
The hyena tears at the body I've built, Empty inside now my blood has been spilt
I am devoured by filth, Regression of thought and acceptance of guilt
Blood calls for blood I know this is real, I pay the price when my fate is sealed
Pulverised into the utter nothingness, Emptiness will follow me knowing all that I seek
I pay the price as the hyena slowly feeds, Tearing me apart thrown into a new reality
Eurgh, I welcome its savagery
Eurgh, Its presence so menacing
Eurgh, It's always so welcoming
Eurgh, It begins devouring
Can't out run it's mind, when it smells this pain I hide
I am tortured by the fragile look inside its eyes
Memories of a life distorted by the sands of time
I a mere servant of pain, Developed by the agony hunted by fate
