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 the pain
Punishment slowly burns away all of the shame

A vision of time
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
