This Sickness Withered My Heart Lyrics

Slowly it crawls from the graves

The burial ground of my soul

Thick as malevolent fog

To poison what's left to corrupt

Consciousness bleeds

Like a gaping wound

Strangling the weak ghost of hope

Facing the abyss of what I became

A despicable creature of scorn

I murdered what was left untainted within

This human shell's gone, like a snake shedding its skin

Feeling malignancy's clutch

Twisting my guts inside out

Deserted floor of my mind

Haunted by spectres of smiles

A will to do harm, destroying your lives

The voices I welcome tonight

They come alive when dusk is long gone

Darkness reflecting my gaze

I murdered what was left untainted within

This human shell's gone, like a snake shedding its skin

This sickness withered my heart

This sickness defines what I became
