LYRICS:
THE EMBALMER
The protagonist embalms reality in a distorted image, a simulacrum that destabilizes us. We de-negate what we see and hear. We are in the hands of a maniac playing with the nauseating feeling of adrenaline. Masked difference makes us sick. Horror -to witness grotesque repetition.
Rise! He cried
On the mount of infected limbs
Of the self-imposed spectators here to bleed
Binding cruelty out of time to rot
Purging from what’s impure to reassign
Inverting, deafening, changing the poles
To shine
As soft tissue is carved out, so thin yet so true
Breath the Scent of the balms, a prayer to the sprout of what’s so to come.
Rise! He cried, waiting for completion
Bring a smile, cold, on the face, the face of the dead
Bring a smile, cold, on the face of the ones who stare
at taxidermic completion
Is this what you came for? Can this please your hunger?
Lend me your dreams, let me play with desire,
Repeat, blaspheme. Twisting your soul
The truth inside
Taste my poison
I am the one who’s not here
I am the one who repeats what will be
I am the horror deep in your seed
I command the poles and static they bleed
Between perfection and decay, corrupted sands of time
The hand of death and life is breathing on my side
Rise, he cried!
Rise, he cried! For you are with me, for you are in me
Rise, he cried! For what has to be denied has to be
Rise, he cried! for the stretching of our time – I said
Rise, he cried - For we are now one
We are no one!!
