Psalm of Agony

Psalm of agony Becoming God is no longer enough This transformation, my sin against creation Unnatural modification of this pitiful fucking form held in chains of deprivation This shell so frailly draped around the failing structure of my hollow bones My spirit seeks a better home Than this palace so corrupt, its windows shield the vibrance of the coming day Succumb to death or succumb to flame In the comfort of the gallows Cradled by the hate that was bred in the dark Fed by my heart Slowly festering until the only voice in my head is fear I have to find a way out If Apollo's holy face never shines upon me I'll wrap myself in raven's wings If all I will know is decay may it enrapture me So I will sing eternally my psalm of agony Becoming God is no longer enough The pain of power, the burden of omniscience Unnatural modification of this pitiful fucking form held in chains of deprivation With cursed hands outstretched to heavens far beyond the reach of common man Such fear and wonder Flesh torn in two, the sinews fray like thread My evolution, transmogrification The changing of seasons The weight of chains once wrapped around my neck now ash and dust beneath my feet No god is my master, no longer prey to the hunter I shed my skin and shatter the spine that carried my burden If Apollo's holy face never shines upon me I'll wrap myself in raven's wings If all I will know is decay may it enrapture me So I will sing eternally my psalm of agony Psalm of agony Psalm of agony I'll wrap myself in raven's wings If all I will know is decay may it enrapture me So I will sing eternally my psalm of agony It overwhelms me, succumb to the flame My shoulder blades give way to feathers forming My skin is falling away and I feel everything My soul is ripped from my flesh As I ascend to Heaven Witness the pain of power My excruciating evolution, transmogrification The changing of seasons
