Carcinogenesis

Anaesthesia with a chemical reaction
Your reflection is a stranger that you don't respect
Fill an empty head with momentary distractions
A heavy burden around your neck
Now bear the weight

A perception through hatred
The corruption of all we hold sacred
Malediction and avarice
All hail carcinogenesis
A likeness no longer
Bears resemblance to the faces of our fathers
Face to face with our nеmesis
All hail carcinogenesis

And so wе fall
Purge an empty heart
Spiritual castration
Cleanse this empty soul
Synthetic elation

Medications are no longer taking their effect
Synesthesia now revealing only shades of grey
Degradation of a mindset that cannot reflect
Our intentions ever stranger with each passing day
We count down seconds awaiting the end
We wander alone in the dark
Broken, frayed rope worn down to the thread
Into the dark

A perception through hatred
The corruption of all we hold sacred
Malediction and avarice
All hail carcinogenesis
A likeness no longer
Bears resemblance to the faces of our fathers
Face to face with our nemesis
All hail carcinogenesis

A heavy burden around your neck
Now bear the weight
Call out into the void
With nothing left to dread
We cried until we choked
We scratched until we bled
Until we bled

Over and over it comes
Bringing the animal out of us, we cannot run away
Facing our nemesis, carcinogenesis
Over and over it comes
Over and over it's killing morality
Cleansing humanity, carcinogenesis
Over and over it is
Cleansing humanity, carcinogenesis
