Lyrics for Scarab
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
