A Persistent Threat Lyrics

Prostration

I feel the thoughts degrade, the vision blur and surroundings fade

Focus

I must remain awake, if awareness slips, I'll let it in

When the noise displaces light and dilutes the time

That's when the darkness calls, scraping its claws

Movement restricted to a flicker of the eye

Petrified under a crushing force of ill

Its tormenting whispers, a hymn of dread

Come to me where it's damp and cold

Where the shadows grow teeth and terror ingests the soul

My persistent threat, a hazy silhouette with words of venom and the scent of death

With a rotted grin and relentless stare

No matter where I go, it's always near

This abscess of the void, it is my parasite of mind

It never lets me go, always lurking out of sight

Immobilized by fear, an oppression that confines

My torment never ends, will I make it through the night?

Now you will be mine until the dawn is here
