lyrics

Like a baleful comet
Scorching the celestial sphere
Risen above obscurity
A malignant poet, the prophet of woe

His iconic career
Cut short by suicide
Music to quicken the blood
Beguiling us with horror
Each work spawned a genre in emulation
Lightening rod for dissatisfaction
The anguish of his time

Tortured by genius
Alluring notes wrung from riven flesh
Tormenting charisma
Possessed by memories of the damned

I swore an oath on his tomb
To trace tragedy from its ebb
And purge his legacy

The wearying journey
Closes on desolate waste
Where he did confide
Demons had assailed him
Night descends limbs ache grief
Caste in dolorous hue
A blasted heath swept by gales
Fallow and despised

Tortured by genius
Alluring notes wrung from riven flesh
Unnerving dissonance
Echoing from each incidental sound
Of this infernal place
Wit to delude despairing hearts
A consuming obsession

His diabolic music
Is a cacophony of all who suffer

Obnoxious scrub snares my feet
The ground subsides beneath
A fissure yawns into a chasm
Opening on hell
Demonic voices screaming
Infest malignant motes
Lacerate flesh of nerves transfixed
In apoplectic terror

My bone’s marrow chills
Strident gasps fall faint
Deafened by the urgency
Of this haunted space

Wailing torment
Polyphonic lament
Alluring notes wrung from tortured flesh
A chorus of hate
