Descent Lyrics by A Human Costume

Exhume, Behold, Defenestrate

2014

There is no concept of final
Your journey's just begun
Hear the wailing of your brethren
Soon you'll join that desolate cacophony
No use refusing, I insist
Your grievous protests have been spoke
The face of knowing hell exists
I so enjoy my work
I've witnessed every generation of your kind
Bargain, scheme, and make excuses
As in life, the same revolting spectacle
And the river flows with blood
One must acknowledge fate
Through life you have been judged as treacherous
Dragged onward through oblivion
Soon to arrive upon the shore
This void reviled by ancient tongues
Your fate now rests within
From the gallows your type arrive
Reckoning truth in every wave
No mortal mind could ever contrive
What now awaits beyond the grave
Released from earthly time and space
Received in sanguine ebb and flow
Afloat in the blackness
No grandeur to admire and praise
Only my wicked smile aglow
As the laughter of Phlegethon roars
Retribution! Condemned to aeons writhing in fire
Terminal judgement: Tartarus awaits
Agent of Hades' control
Behest of my master to ferry their souls
I feed on the fear, calmly careening
Through thousands of years
Down, forgotten, foregone
Hereafter cast aflame
Yet I must travel on (There are others to claim!)
Voyage escaping none
Fate's threads already spun
As it is written, it shall be done
