Coffinworm IV.I.VIII 1. Sympathectomy The cosmic paradox that binds us all Converging only in beginning and end The noose's shadow steady hangs over our heads Watching life unfold in reverse It's like dying in the womb: an unexpected gift As the four walls of a glass casket grant Our collective existence a tomb with a view Dragon-slaying is its own reward In this bingo parlor for the dying the tree of life sways to the opposite And circle reunites with circle Working hard at being unacceptable So throw the bodies on top of the pyre But please be mindful and recycle their beliefs Because 3 out of 4 horsemen aren't jobless Envision your worst nightmare... We call it a day in the life You despise what you once held so tight So near, unclear, unfeared... Please turn up buried or missing Plague Pestilence Death Exhaled in every breath Lumber forth Plague Pestilence Death Downfall manifest Lumber forth night Lumber forth... eternal night Your deception fetish is not only appalling, It reeks like a limbless prostitute's breath As list of disorders as follows in this exact order: Enlightenment, salavation, forever, hope, faith, death Mourn Scorn Worship Abort Deny Refuse Negate Genuflect As we pay our final disrespects Gathered in the church of the atom Let us exalt in finality At oblivion's altar Mushroom clouds Snort these putrid fumes 2. Instant Death Syndrome Unwashed kingdom of failures, resplendent with filth and incalculable cruelty: Arise from unlight to destroy the divine! Profane sacred intent. Reclamation of our doomed domain From the gutter to the grave. Bastards seeds of damnation...tonight we strike! That which we pray for is that which we'll die for. Our tyranny of pain...beneath the cloak of sin. Mainline the Holy blood! Feral denizens of nihility...we strike! All that we've lived for is that which we now die for. Feed Us! Feed us...eternal night, feed us...majestic decay. Our ravenous hunger for the end, let us touch the great nothing! Assembly line of womb to tomb, in the embrace of ruin. Principled lust for ruin. Unbridled lust for ruin. Thrust into the web of perdition. 3. Black Tears As lava lies molten so doth bullshit stink This ethereal reek of a postmortem existence Fuck yes I flirt with disaster But wouldn't be caught undead licking its ass after Spectral claws Astral blowjobs Like tetanus for chocolate, I've embraced the principle of unsanity Organized chaos Found only in the mind of the unwound I'll be the sniper at your funeral And use your headstone as a urinal Spectral claws Astral blowjobs Despondent we live in splendor we perish Claw first from the aether Each loss we cherish When none became all signaled the funeral procession An eternal void became infernal regression Swallowed alive while dying to live A subtractive equation of all that must end We've come to view happiness As an antithetical equation Despondent we live, in splendor we perish Claw first from the aether, each loss we cherish These are my parting words For a world I've always fucking hated Watching it burn to a cinder Is the sole reason I've waited To blow my laptop off and say goodbye To each loss I've cherished Despondent we've lived 4. Lust vs. Vengeance Jaws of Satan open wide The maw of chaos swallows us alive Forced to breathe yet we beg to die Derelicts and deviance no surprise Mary's slit with no immaculate incision Peel away the flesh of this rotten carcass on display Of scofflawery and decay Fly away, run away Broken wings and broken haloes Broken lives and broken dreams Turn away, run from the light Because neither of us know how this tale ends The endtimes that you forecast Are now being aired live A three plate discourse on disaster, Now serving six Let's see what tomorrow reaps Operator dead, post abandoned Left alone stranded, Left for dead I'd kill you, if I could eat you, but since not Fuck you I can't manage nor contain myself, and I no longer try Spewing rancid ejaculate on humanity's face And aiming for its eyes I'll live my life to ensure I'm front row At the funeral of everything that matters Run away, look away, flee the scene Perhaps we should dig another grave? What you cherish I destroy 5. Of Eating Disorders And Restraining Orders The euphoria of vomit coats my teeth And again I dream of chewing Away the umbilicus To a universe I've never felt an attachment to Thoughts drift to a world Steeped in carcass char and napalm tar Miasmal reek of a world worth living in Time immemorial my only ally In a world draped in deceit When that time arrives It will commemorate this world Being facefucked And left to rot in the ashes Of the fetus hope left on the table The afterbirth left behind from this postmenstrual abortion "I am not lost. I know exactly where I am, I am in some shitty fucking Hell which is exactly what I deserve. But YOU, YOU are lost. All my life I thought I needed you, that I couldn't survive without you... fuck, FUCK. It was the other fucking way around. It was the other way around." It's what makes me lose sleep at night Not the morally incongruent concepts Of wrong and right For they both lie at odds And that disparity is a chasm As it came together it shall also fall apart Burned temples of diseased fleshly dominion Irradiated with the flames of desire Shooting syringes made of filed-down bones Injecting the filth left from our subconscious minds Stemming from our previous lives All that encompasses you is all that distresses me 6. A Death Sentence Called Life The seeds of malice indeed bear bitter fruit We are all too familiar with the taste Lying lifeless, dying nameless, disintegrated The genesis of irrefutable magick The dawn of imminent defeat And the gnosis of their disparity I witnessed that graceful tumble: The only thing harder than watching Was looking away, united only in the end End and good times synonymous In the mind of the unwound The kiss of nothingness cries itself to sleep at night While we live out this emptiness Beholden to the concept of potential bliss This disease plagues us all, as we embrace... downfall [-Jacob's verse, his words-] Empty words, faint echoes of nothingness Patience drained into darkness I possess Life of despair, leaving nothing for you Death in the air, stench of reality breathing Through smashed face, eternally crushed Beneath the flood, I wait and rot for all to see Taste of blood within a noose that's conquering Chained throat, ripping my skin with broken glass Black as pitch
