Hymn of Decay Lyrics

Cursed mind
Suffer
Die

Soothsayers
Speaking in serpent tongues
Betrayers
Mouths are wired shut
Lost ones
Left among the wicked
Faces lose shape
Entombed in this grave

Clocks ticking
But I can’t read the hands
I’m sinking
In a shell of who I am
Lost meaning
Fear is my only memory

The soul sings no longer
As time wastes away
Like lambs to the slaughter
My past slips away
The soul sings no longer
The hymn of decay


Blackened
Trapped behind my eyes
Lost in desolation
The ruins of fractured time

I held it all in my hands
Until the rivers ran dry
Memories slip like sand
Left to suffer and die

Cursed mind
Suffer
Die

The soul sings no longer
As time wastes away
Like lambs to the slaughter
My past slips away
The soul sings no longer
The hymn of decay
