Chernobog
Lyrics
Descend into black
Your weight, thrown forward
Arms extended
They catch but brush and thorns
Your fingers grasp at lacerations
Onset of desperation
Suspended in animation
As sanity departs
Something ancient takes hold
And then you drown
Exhausted
Weary, alone
You are dying
Caught in transcendence
And then you wait
For the embrace
The black God of the barren mountain
Descends upon the world of man
Your fingers grasp at lacerations
Onset of desperation
Suspended in animation
His majestic serpentine form
Slithers across the land
Devours all in his path
Putrefying the light
Spreading his corruption
Your salvation
Devours all in his path
Putrefying the light
Spreading his corruption
Your salvation
Your eyes can't pierce what lies ahead
As the sweat on your back stagnates
Is this the end?
Will it be quick?
Blood runs cold
Consumed by gloom
Eternally doomed
Then you scream, Above. Behind. Forward. And below.
Scream until you bleed
Crimson waters of life
Fill your lungs
There will be no one to heed your call
This is his gift to you
His legacy remains
Man damned to duality
Thus you can never be pure
Where there's light
Shadow is cast
In order to generate
You must eradicate
Embrace his endowment of hate
That is your wretched fate
Descend into black
Your weight, thrown forward
Arms extended
They catch but brush and thorns
Your fingers grasp at lacerations
Onset of desperation
Suspended in animation
As sanity departs
Something ancient takes hold
And then you drown
Exhausted
Weary, alone
You are dying
Caught in transcendence
And then you wait
For the embrace
The black God of the barren mountain
Descends upon the world of man
Your fingers grasp at lacerations
Onset of desperation
Suspended in animation
His majestic serpentine form
Slithers across the land
Devours all in his path
Putrefying the light
Spreading his corruption
Your salvation
Devours all in his path
Putrefying the light
Spreading his corruption
Your salvation
Your eyes can't pierce what lies ahead
As the sweat on your back stagnates
Is this the end?
Will it be quick?
Blood runs cold
Consumed by gloom
Eternally doomed
Then you scream, Above. Behind. Forward. And below.
Scream until you bleed
Crimson waters of life
Fill your lungs
There will be no one to heed your call
This is his gift to you
His legacy remains
Man damned to duality
Thus you can never be pure
Where there's light
Shadow is cast
In order to generate
You must eradicate
Embrace his endowment of hate
That is your wretched fate
