Introspection

Time dissolves before my eyes
I know, the graves, they always try to hide
Then, what are graves to me?
Their sins are not infectious
I claim immunity to their disease
Oh, the serpent coils
Again I will consume the fire
To purge the entrails of my soul
Now let go, disperse the fear
Loose the grip on what is out there
What I see is deep inside
Paranoid will be my guide
Hollow eyes will lead the way
A quest for peace will burn in the end
Inhale, exhale, reach far into the deep
Descend to where the devil's crying, angels weep
Better forget what force wide open
Embrace the night where blood is
On the darkness, to return to black
Oh, I fall and know to bleed
The source from whence my demon sees
Time dissolves before my eyes
I know, the graves, they always try to hide
Breathe to bottom lakes
Breathe, reach far into the deep
On a quest for peace
On a quest for peace
In burning ruin!
