Gospel of the Worm

Through used up life-force and used up skin

Through strings of failure

and stiff limbs of shame

Crapulous orgies - Consuming sin

In ceaseless hunger

Hellish black thirst

Livid with the hue of mould and death

Crowned with swarming angels of rot

Mere food for maggots

Mere fuel for the flames

Saying grace at the table of Decay

And as your soul in darkness burn

...of the emptiness you learn

And as your flesh to soil turn

...embrace the Gospel of the Worm

Warmth and life are now strangers in here

The Void is present

Ancient yet forever new

Dead - You are dead!

Depleted - You are dead!

Bow before the skillful smith of Decay

No hope - Only Death!

Clusters of heavy sins hold you down

And as your soul in darkness burn

...of the emptiness you learn

And as your flesh to soil turn

...embrace the Gospel of the Worm
