Lyrics
Scarab
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.
As the sun returns
from the shades of night
so am I reborn from my own corruption
I invoke the consuming fire
and from the ashes mould
the renaissance of my decadent self
at the dawn of my rebirth
the heart is overflowing
I indulge and dissipate
and when the cup is empty
I drink from nothingness
the venom by which I disintegrate
this is not merely pride
or lust for eminence
this is the reoccurring cycle of my existence
as the sun returns
from the shades of night
so am I reborn from my own corruption
behold - the god returns
solar balls upon his back
a sacrifice
I invoke the consuming fire
and from the ashes mould
the renaissance of my decadent self
my sacrifice - my corruption - my death
