lyrics

The Rightful Heir to Acrelot

Now I seek thy pleasure lightly
It called me out, as did she
Watch the sanguine current rise
Flooding our ecstasy; as did she

Her aura beckoned me
With terrors of her inquisition
A misrepresentation no man should grasp
“Man; human; an abomination”
This specter of my origin proclaimed

I will attain dexterity
Strip from the lesser side of me
The King
Formed and crowned by mediocrity
I want to watch his sinking clout
Through his eyes I watch him drown
The plague
Upon this wretched crowd

I feel a pressure rising
Roaring inside my varied heart
I’m the dark in their light
Need to ignite
Ooh, I feel a pressure rising
Ooh, roaring inside resentful hearts
I’m the dark in their light
Seducing the night

I will attain dexterity
Strip from the incompetency
The fiend
They prey on adoration, sex and greed
I want to bring him to his knees
Cut the light he stole from me
And bleed
Upon his seat of lies

I feel a pressure rising
Roaring inside my varied heart
I’m the dark in their light
Need to ignite
Ooh, I feel a pressure rising
Ooh, roaring inside resentful hearts
I’m the dark in their light
Seducing the night

You want to feel like you were glamorous
Ignore her strength and offer punishment
Concocted by the symbols made by man
I strangle life with everlasting hands

I’ve gotta find another way
To work this out
My fragments need to fall in place
To salvage doubt

You are the plague
You are mercy in disguise
A walking crown
Burying these lies
While I fell

Inspiration calling
Salutations stalling
Congregations falling
Aahhh
Isolation crawling
Degradation creeping
Complications harping
Emulation sinking
Behold the dead man walking
Aahhh

You want to feel like you were glamorous
You want to feel unparalleled
Your heart is speaking to my unearthed curse
To watch your gaze fade out with my blood thirst

Aahhh aahhh

When your frowning won’t subside
You feel lost and paralyzed
I’m foaming at the teeth
As I pray, “where are you God?”
Life is on the line
Yet roaring the whole time
It’s pleasing how my lungs will breathe
Your essence pouring out

Now I seek thy pleasure lightly
It called me out, as did she
Watch the sanguine current rise
Flooding our ecstasy
Specter of my origin
Specter of my origin called on me
Watch the sanguine current rise
Flooding our ecstasy

We’re haunting this place
Flooding with flies
While they implode
Let’s uprise

Euphoria crowns
My feral eyes from the light
Uncanny sight
My claim to the throne

“O’er the sun
March to the eagle’s flight
Motionless in time
Thy hand like hammer falls
Dost thee think in overt absolutes?
A surface sight
O, thou sleeps in endless dreams
Of what could be”

In the ebb and flow of this refrain
We sing songs of our disdain
But nature sees not what we feel
For it too has wounds that need to heal

In the ebb and flow of this refrain
They sing songs of their disdain
But they don’t see the pain I feel
And they’ll soon have wounds they need to heal

Let go!

-Holub
