[00:19.38] I hear the baying of the hounds
[00:22.40] In the distance, I hear them devouring
[00:26.61] Pest ridden jackals of the earth
[00:30.16] Diabolical beasts and roaming the forests
[00:33.68] In wait and constant protectors
[00:37.96] Calling you to sit by his side
[00:41.38] Your self loathing image in his flesh
[00:44.97] A revelation upon which you linger
[00:51.48] His words are flies
[00:54.87] Swarming towards the true insects
[00:58.58] Feasting on buried dreams
[01:01.93] And spreading decay upon your skin
[01:05.70] His eyes spew forth a darkness
[01:09.35] That cut through and paralyze
[01:13.30] Casts light upon your secrets
[01:17.46] Forced to confront your enemies
[01:19.07] His mouth is a vortex
[01:22.87] Sucking you into it's pandemonium
[01:26.69] Fools you with a helping hand of ashes
[01:29.90] Reached out in false dismay
[01:33.86] His body is a country
[01:37.75] The cities lay dead and beyond despair
[01:41.64] Friends turned enemies unable to come clean
[01:47.04] In a rising fog of reeking death
[02:05.51] Everything you believed is a lie
[02:09.60] Everyone you loved is a death burden
[02:13.24] So you take comfort in him
[02:17.09] And you are receptive to stark wishes
[02:20.92] No longer struggling to declare your stand
[02:28.06] You would inflict no harm to others
[02:35.15] They are unaware of you
[02:37.46] And in a loop of futile events
[02:42.12] You are everything, they are nothing
[04:28.10][03:59.11] Drown in the deep mire
[04:34.46][04:05.53] With past desires
[04:42.50][04:13.65] Beneath the mire
[04:48.69][04:20.13] Drown desire now with you
[06:08.38] Lined up verses on dead skin
[06:14.67] "The tainted lips of the stranger
[06:21.13] Resting upon hers"
[06:25.95] - music -
[09:09.57] And I embrace bereavement
[09:13.38] Everything beloved is shattered anyway
[09:17.42] I would devote myself to anyone
[09:21.46] I would accept any flaws
[09:26.24] I am too weak to resist
[09:29.14] Tension vibrating with horror
[09:31.23] Finding the outcast in my eyes
[09:35.16] Pushing nerves on a puppet
[09:37.24] Endless poison in my veins
[09:39.12] Clean intent now tainted with death
[10:13.93] And so, cold touch now inhumane
[10:17.12] Every waking hour
[10:18.71] Awaiting a reverie to unfold
[10:23.09] And now they are calling me
[10:24.81] Louder by the minute
[10:26.68] The baying of the hounds
[10:28.81] Calling me back to my home
