Somnolent Despondency - Ophis

Soothed and serene

From life comes apathy

Even blood flows in reverse

Blessed sleep be my hearse

My weary eyes behold

The tragedy of life unfold

Contempt, filth, slime, flesh

Bones, blood, cancer

Blade, noose, pill, gas

Rats, worms, sheep, vermin

All in the turmoil

Semantics of nothingness

Carved in stone forever

Circles spiral as we suffer

Silence, bemourn the noise of the dead

Herald the scorn and despair

Silence, bemourn the wuthering construction

The remnants of what lies corrupted

In my separation

I find contemplation

Spit forth the carrion

Withered flesh in tongue and mouth

Verbal constipation

Urges venesection

I heed my depravity

It is my destiny

For this is the curse

To be happy is worse

Afflicti pro peccatis nostris

Quotidie cum lacrimis

Epectemus finem nostrum

Carved in stone forever

Circles spiral as we suffer
