Lyrics for Qliphosis

Outside the endless stupor Of life and death of any one creature There is no objective time No unified place for all Too far to reach Too long to hold on To an existence doomed to shatter No way to merge Before this blink of a life is gone And chronology no longer matters Abscond Look beyond Beyond the trap of flesh Forsaken through eternities, by life abhorred For embodied immanence won't serve To manifest a single overlord Withdraw Forswear the law of finitude To gain continuous subsistence Outside time If anything can bridge the gaps Mortality cleaves through the cosmos It's bionts that thrive Where all else will fall, perish and scatter Clandestine hives absorb, revive Feared and shunned by all that crawls And yet only survives the void Of vector collapse Due to their strife Behold A new kingdom sprawls Through the carnage of life's fallen shells Neither dead nor alive Forever in the shadows to dwell Chthonic Hidden agents abide Coalesce and drive Perpetual rebirth From the other side The Qliphoth stir Catalysts of resurrection By spirit spurred Foraging fatality Digest the world Antagonists of disconnection Like gods unfurl The origin of reality Behold A new kingdom sprawls Through the carnage of life's fallen shells Neither dead nor alive Forever in the shadows to dwell Chthonic Hidden agents abide Coalesce and drive Perpetual rebirth From the other side And when your flesh at last succumbs They come to take you back as one of their own
