Pessimism I Lyrics by Holokauston

Hymns for an Unavailing Tragedy

2018

That prophecy of which the Oracle of Delphi once spoke
An eternal night was to fall on Thebes
When the infant with tethered ankles was born
The fear of Laius, was it justified?
The flawed nature of being, the magnitude of his pain
In the cradle of Polybus and Merope he rests
Fearing to fruit his adoption
The path of destiny in a wretched and entropic cosmos
This shall lead him to Delphi, the creator of a prophecy
Apollo shall watch, as the seed is being reaped
The disguise of Merope, to be the bearer lies to his face
A journey to Thebes
Once where he was cursed
At Davlia, a chariot intervenes
King Laius thus stands merciless again
To crush his way through the roads
But this time he lacks the power to defeat
Oedipus shall fearlessly strangle his father
The foreigner in thy host
The parasite in my thoughts
The constraints in us is Laius
We shalt kill, shall isolate
I see the prophecy come true, the father lies dead while his mother awaits
The code of ethics, is subjective while some of them call him a sinner
I despise his being for embracing his nature
The agony shall leave him in despair
When the plague walks, when the plague walks through the city
Man, he shalt walk on four limbs as an infant
Two as when grown and three when his legs give up, and he calls for a stick
