As the Serpent Devours Lyrics

So quickly we have forgotten
The darkened caves from which we crawled
On torn, quivering limbs
Through trails of filth

In frigid silence
Our stammered whispers
Sought to grow to thunderous cries
their echoes - thought to be eternal

Toiling aimlessly
as in vein Sisyphus bleeds
We writhe in agony
As the serpent devours

Eternally
rampaging through the wreckage of time
Rebirthing the ceaseless cycle of decay
we watch in horror as the beast

Devours eternally
flesh and spirit of such noble prey
echoes forgotten in an instant
obliterated between ceaseless jaws

Hopeless thoughts choked down
As the never ending cycle of self destruction
regurgitated misery
lying in the wake of the shadow of false hope

Lethean ambitions
joys of sand and sorrows of stone
the cave from which we crawled
burrowed into our souls through the jagged rocks we bled upon

An unending cycle
of growth and decay
a ceaseless hunger
and dagger-eyed gaze

This predatory torrent - dampens
the darkened caves into which we crawled
saturated, quivering limbs
begging for warmth

in frigid silence
mouthpieces of dread
retched blood - died choking
their echoes thought to be eternal

Toiling aimlessly
as in vein Sisyphus bleeds
We writhe in agony
As the serpent devours

We lost the way
shrouded in darkness
Time marches as savagely
As the serpent devours
