A Dark Ill - Earth Rot

The burden of years

The sapping, the leaching

Taking in what’s most coveted

By others alike, a transient

The life in smoke

Into the skies, like birds of prey

The liquid moves through the shadows

She pecks at the flesh of the mind

Feeding, feasting, draining, all at the same time

The curse of time, in more of darkness than you’ve ever known

Repay those debts, as it was written

Give back to the darkness

That has been so kind

Repay your debt to the dark smoke

To it, a victim to come

Endless bodies and lives to come

The mind, like a serpent unwinding

Rotting away to emptiness

A poison that cannot by siphoned away

Toxic visions corrupt what lies inside

Seeking to survive, survive

It’s not a sickness you know, it’s curse, a shadow inside

It’s not a sickness you’ll ever know, breeding death to stay alive
