Lyrics
Totem
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.
The sickness of the heart
Exposed to the flame
Bound and tortured
Pulled into nothing
Living predation
Descend into blackness
Sadistic the silence
Coiled in the wings of sacrifice
Sacrifice
To martyr yourself
In a world of isolation
Your days are consumed
A life of slow decay
Wasting away
Persecuted, paralyzed
Behind these haunted eyes
No one speaks, no one tries
Totem
Idol of barbarity
Totem
Totem
Where were you
When I was bludgened helpless
Where were you
When I was tortured senseless
Totem
Idol of barbarity
Totem
Totem
Grotesque eternal eyes
Sunk in the edge of infinity
Land of sorrow
Shadows of the earth
I once prayed to the gods
Tragic fury
Grant us strength
To inhale eternity
Idol of barbarity
Plead for the end
