The Infinite Regress

08 The Infinite Regress (03:53)

Mingled visions
The night's shadows grow longer
My dream's excisions
Grow ever stronger
In my mind I see
A face I've known before
Lights flashing
A body face down on the floor

Something lurks so familiar
Luminescence of your eyes
Urges are rising in
Darkest corners of the incised

Her cries
The symphony of madness
Lies
Despise
The whispers of darkened skies

Bleed
Bleed
Your skin, eyes are lost in the vale
Within something so cold and pale

Why?

A horrid soul
A tormented mass beyond hope
Deep in the hole
At the end of a rope

Beyond the years of one so young and so innocent
Your time has come, my dear

Hands so cold
Paths cross within death's fold

Body tossed down on the ground
Crumpled form motionless in a...

World so hollow, lifeless, dead
Lost in creases of hungering dread

Trapped within my head
My head
My head

Unfolding a world birthing septs of malice
Words in wretched upon the walls of...

...Night

Your skin, eyes are lost in the vale
Within something so cold and pale

Suffering, set to explode, the infinite regress
Stumbling forward, a long delayed egress

Your time has come
As it shall, for us one and all
Once again the knot comes undone

A view of worlds in hiding
No more loom obscure
Compassion subsiding
Bleeding the pure

Bleed
You must bleed
Seven cycles of need

Chain and dagger's umbra
The god omnipotent
Must feed
Feed on suffering, cycling, smoldering, faltering mortals
Bleed, the altering, shimmering fleshly portals
