lyrics

Never meant for the healthy flesh
It exits the mind of its most recent vessel, a decaying trestle
Perhaps designed for the pervasive flesh
Of a dying man or a wounded beast on which it must feast
But not designed for the adversary
Oh, how the predator must seek!
How it craves to create guilt in organic beings, faith over seeing
Undergoing the evolution of decay
The advancement of rust
The forward progress of decline
The backwards of all time
The erosion of the mind
Undergoing the evolution of decay
The acquisition of rot
Transformation of the caught
From the will of why they fought
Into something they are not
Cycling ad naseum
It enters new minds and what free thought it can find
Is suffocated by the strength of foreign might
This intrusive force seems to coerce
Man down from the freedom of natural height
With guilt, with fear, with prayer, with rape
It enters new minds and what free thought it can find
Is suffocated by the strength of foreign might
This intrusive force seems to coerse
Man down from the freedom of natural height
With guilt, with fear, with prayer, with rape
With force, with will, with intent to undermine
With intent to undermind
It matters not his past, his future is planned
And a new betrayer will need to attack
Now where can it land if there can be no end?
What beast of the flesh will perpetuate its will?
It matters not his past, his future is planned
And a new betrayer will need to attack

Thine hath before thee a fine OSDM demo. Wroughteth with emanations of cavernous proportions, fit to rippeth thy aural loins in twain. Enjoyeth of deep death and of monstrous metal of the olde school faith. Arrogant Bastard
