So if I must accord my flesh with desolation My dying will, to drink the spirit to embalm the soul The fruits of suffering are strewn across the mountains of antiquity So I must swill the grapes of revelry and dance into the grave
As I journey through this fallow land, would my pleasure be a burden to the humming wind? Isn’t it better to give birth to joy, in the shadow of oblivion, if only for myself? With my given time, I choose to live with dispassionate indulgence in the heart
I used to writhe with the disconnect of serving mankind, serving the gods Oh, but could it be said that this struggle within is a barrier? And so I choose to serve myself
So bring the seed of Dionysus And plant a garden of obscene delights May the droughts pass with our suffering And may our harvest surpass our toil
If I peer beyond my gaze, will I witness my unravelling atomic state? So bring me honey, bring me flesh, so I may banish this oblivion, if only for a time Under skies that beat a discordant cadence, I dance far from myself For I must gorge the senses for the reckoning
Unto dust I donate this husk I leave nothing to entrust
As this rapture soaks me from within Still I absorb the downpour to prolong the ecstasy This inflated delirium of now Is nothing to the jagged splinters of eternity
So sadness is, and shall remain a virtue to the righteous And pleasure must remain the parasite that clings to higher deeds The fruits of gluttony are sewn into the fabric of our history So I must settle for the joy I can unpick with servile hands
So take the seed of Dionysus And burn this garden of obscene delights Throw my senses to fiery depths Never to dictate my path again If the droughts pass with our suffering May the rains restore our tears And may our harvest never be the goal, only the consequence
As this rapture leaves my broken mass Still I cling to the memory, to prolong the agony This deflated delirium of yore Lies ruptured on the jagged splinters of eternityTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
