Corporeal Gaiden Lyrics

No glory

My failure cemented

My usefulness has ended

All I had already given

They took all that I gave

Betrayed by the hands that built my legacy as they conspire to dig my own grave

Coated be my lungs in the dust of ages

High on the past

The moments start to crawl

Crushed into incoherence

Crumbling beneath the weight

Anticipating slow painful descent into abhorrent fate

Riding the death spiral

Doom is inevitable

Degradation of tissues that plagues all living vessels

Bound within time's law

Hopes to be invincible

With expirations looming that drag us all back to the soil

Break me down to my most basic components

Cleansed by fire into the finest ash

With sweat and blood be I reshaped in mud to rise again in bodies much diviner

Death is just a consequence for being inadequate

Scared weak and unequipped to face the horrors of existence

This place has boiled in my blood for as long as I remember

Evaporated into nothing never to return

Blinded by the soot that cakes my eyes

Cognizance dissolves as do my prison's borders

Shall I vanish so shall this dimension

Dragged into the vacuum left in my wake

Corporeal gaiden

A footnote to time

Pure chance

No reason

No glory
