lyrics

Onward black forever

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
