Lyrics
The Degenerate Strain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have choked on rotten remedies
With livid eyes they watch you squirm in a chemical cage
A lullaby of horrid melodies
I rage against the night and tear free
To devour the carniverous
Downstream from the guillotine
More fuel for the animus
Run down, and delivered to the soil
Hear the hollow prayers of godless whores
As the harlet shreds her face
Reclaim the flesh she stained with disgrace
Let the lepers have what remains
Cull the degenerate strain
How many crimes can fit upon a throne?
I lie alone, in wait below
You’re swallowed whole in empyrean form
And spat out as bones
Another king to the reckoning
Another weed in the garden of the machine
Laid to rest in the cinder
Your drain spits back the waste
Color me with madness and title me insane
An image more alive than your degenerate strain
Hear the hollow prayers of godless whores
As the harlet shreds her face
Reclaim the flesh she stained with disgrace
Let the lepers have what remains
Reaching out of bounds
Down low
Face first in the gutter where you were born
So, take a breath of the contagion
Down low
Face first in the gutter where you were born
Now, your drain spits back the waste
Down low, hollow
Eerie glow the ember in my brain
The wretched and the vain
Down low, hollow
Eerie glow the ember in my brain
Let lepers have what remains
Eerie glow the ember in my brain
Cull the degenerate strain
