A squirming pack of insidious worms
Clustered tight around my soul
Sucking hard on my raw flesh
And drinking from my fractured mind
Clotted with oozing slime and filth
Digging deep to feed on the fragments
Itching and burning as their tongues lash hot
Blood and tears feed the maggot horde
Cannot escape this
Ensnared by the sound
Trapped within myself
As it echoes around
I did my best - It wasn't enough
I tried my hardest - It wasn't enough
I screamed my throat raw - It wasn't good enough
I bewailed my fall - I bewailed my fall
My mind falls apart - Never enough
My heart won't restart - Never enough
My soul crushed by dread - Never good enough
My world lays dead - My world lays dead
The twisting larvae gorge and swell
Growing fat on the pain and smell
Rows of teeth serrate my skin
Drinking deep the red within
They crust in groups round my eyes
Sucking deep the tears I cry
Soon to be a feast for the flies
I shriek to the heavens to die
Cannot escape this
Ensnared by the sound
Trapped within myself
As it echoes around
I did my best - It wasn't enough
I tried my hardest - It wasn't enough
I screamed my throat raw - It wasn't good enough
I bewailed my fall - I bewailed my fall
My mind falls apart - Never enough
My heart won't restart - Never enough
My soul crushed by dread - Never good enough
My world lays dead - My world lays dead
Getting swept up in the merciless undertow driving these all-consuming black-metal songs is half the fun. The other half is in the riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 17, 2019
