A lifeless surge
Of servants to the urge
A river of limbs with one purpose
Thralls to success, a vapid gnawing insect
Ichneumanity arise and build your nest
Seductive sedition
Seeps from a swollen queen
Spawns a vermin sea with
Souls on which to feed
Willing fodder for an endless greed
Dark tendrils, insectoid
Swell in the vast ego void
Slaves, vacant
Idiot tyrant, suffer
A global trade in servitude, they're gladly sold
Kissing hands of power that they someday wish to hold
Like victory is found being the teller not the told
Like worth is estimated in the currency of souls
Voracious, hypnotic
Brain dead and flesh robotic
This is desire
Ichneumon race, ascent to domination
Defective apes will be replaced
The weighted stone of want
Is hurled at the face of god
Deformed by its brunt
Idiot tyrant
At the frozen summit of his influence and wealth
The lengthened pulse surrenders
To the crawling ice no heat will ever melt
Every breath a falling tide
Which pulls him further from himself
The king can find no prophet
When the final deal is dealt
Voracious
Hypnotic
Tyrant
They beg with hands
Grasping and clutching
Fingers wrench at hands
That give them nothing
They eat themselves
The silence of a god they've never met
A tombstone sky stretching forever overhead
Voracious, hypnotic
Brain dead and flesh robotic
The virus swells
Ichneumon race, ascent to domination
Defective apes will be replaced
The weighted stone of want
Is hurled at the face of god
Deformed by its brunt
Idiot tyrant
Cower in fear
Vermin under the wings of a serpent
Glistening crystal veneer
Appeasing the throes of his servants
Idiot tyrant
Every life is spent
Idiot tyrant
All life is an expense
All life is expense
My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album.
Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band.
Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction
