[Verse 1: Ben Duerr]

Unforeseen, this realm gives way to me

A demon unlatched from its keep

Why do they stalk me in the shadows of my fate?

Hail the darkened shrine, circumvented womb of cessation

Forsake the light, inhale pestilence

I dissipate from the realm of luminescent demiurge

To a chamber of blackened light and tainted oxygen

Filling my lungs with the stench of death, misery fails

To outweigh my fear, blackness personified

[Pre-Chorus: Ben Duerr]

The plight emerges and invites me in

Lapse of control, a shallow breath in litany

Claustrophobic, the walls seem to be closing in

Inhaling pestilence

The Library devours all

Who attest the divinity of its ancient design

Inhale the pestilence

Forsake the light

[Chorus: Ben Duerr]

Silenced has forever been the light of day

Defy your desire and kneel to me

Find solace in the darkness, within the scars healing

For only demise will restore the feeling of life

[Verse 2: Jason Evans & Ben Duerr]

Obsessive, possessive, follow me and you'll find

I'm entitled as fuck and I'll take what is mine

If you've got what I want, then get ready to fall

Because I'll leave you with nothing, I'm taking it all

Shroud of confusion surrounds me

Should I kill myself or everyone around me?

Will I ever find the answer to my question?

Will I ever recognize my own reflection?

I'm a walking contradiction made in flesh

A mere discrepancy

Blurring lines where the lies and the truths meet

Paranoid and fixated on my own death

No matter how much that I chase it still eludes me

[Pre-Chorus: Ben Duerr]

Petrified and surrounded by demise

Immeasurable power even in infancy

Shall we be undone in the darkness?

Such devastation corrupts my mind

The plight emerges and invites me in

Lapse of control, a shallow breath in litany

Claustrophobic, the walls seem to be closing in

Inhaling pestilence

[Chorus: Ben Duerr]

Silenced has forever been the light of day

Defy your desire and kneel to me

Find solace in the darkness, within the scars healing

For only demise will restore the feeling of life

[Bridge: Dickie Allen]

Hail the darkened shrine, forsake the light

Let the pestilence consume you

Circumvented womb of cessation

A multitude of wraiths embodied, shrouding the monolith

The spire ripe with condemned containment

Nevertheless the guarded crusade attained

Harnessing the power within

The doomed immortalized

Harnessing the power within

[Outro: Ben Duerr, Jason Evans & Dickie Allen]

Inhale the pestilence

Forsake the light
