The Oracle
Allow Set fire to the earthly shell And from the ashes I will rise again Do away with the prison cell Bestow freedom on the soul within The black widow spins her web, but her prey Tangled and at the whim of a goddess' array We train our eyes to the skies Our prayers are hers to deny We train our eyes to the skies Our prayers are hers to deny Behold! Widow! Accept! Fate! You must behold the black widow, accept your fate I must behold the black widow, and accept my fate You must behold the black widow, accept your fate I must behold the black widow, and accept my fate Behold! Widow! Accept! Fate!

Children of Gaia, mired in obfuscation Will the veil ever be lifted? Or will we continue to search in the dark? We meet the truth we've been gifted With a skeptic's eye and a cynical heart Who are we but the children of Gaia? Who are we but the sons and daughters of life? Make right our minds, make clear our path (Who are we, who are we?) That we may see our final task (Who are we, who are we?) Who are bu the children of Gaia Who are we? We, the children of Gaia, surrender to the divine We must steady our hands and open our to end the divide What is this gospel that you preach? Who fed you lies? Who fed you the lies that you teach? The word not obscured as you claim The intent not absurd as you feign You wear the coat that bears the stain Yet you know the truth, speak not its name Make right our minds, make clear our path (Who are we, who are we?) That we may see our final task (Who are we, who are we?) We, the children of Gaia, surrender to the divine We must steady our hands and open our ears to end the divide End the divide

(What is a soul worth? To me? It doesn't matter. I am no God. I know what I did. I killed. I killed because I was called to. I did what was asked of me. I regret nothing. I feel nothing. I feel nothing.) Lashes slap calloused skin But they are no match for the burn within If given the chance, I'd kill again No restraint for the guilty man I refuse to believe the myth of sanity I demand my reprieve from your reality I know what I did, I followed the signs The consequences haunting me are seen by the blind I carry the burden, the burden of proof The burden of murder, the burden of... Truth be told, I'm centuries old A life by the knife is a life in the hole If given the chance, I'd kill again I know I should feel something But all I feel is nothing But all I've felt was nothing all my life...nothing all my life When the reaper lies dead and buried Who will come to harvest your soul? The executioner sleeps beneath the soil We are all born from sin Spare me your pleas of innocence We are all murderers waiting to be hung No one is beautiful No one is pure No one is innocent and no one is safe We are all murderers waiting to be hung No one is innocent and no one is safe

Father, am I too blind to see? Father, have you forsaken me? Father, am I too blind to see? Father, how have you forsaken me? Caked in blood and soiled in dirt Am I the rat king? Crucified for blessing the earth Am I truly the rat king? (What kingdom is this?) Navigate the maze, become lost in the gutter's own This cannot be my domain; there must be more than what is shown Knotted tails and broken teeth adorn the throne I cannot inherit this domain, this mountainous sin to be atoned Caked in blood and soiled in dirt Am I the rat king? Crucified for blessing the earth Am I truly the rat king? I heal the wounded and the violently ill I am the rat king I wear the crown, I lead the march upon the hill I am the rat king (so crucify me) Bow your head and swallow your will I am the rat king (so crucify me now) Pray until your patience rivals your will I am the rat king (so crucify me) Those who worship are suffering still I am the rat king

Your matted fur matches the scars on your pelt You cling to meat as if it's life itself Barking and foaming (Bow to me) You deserve to be hungry (Bow to...) Protruding ribs and coiled paws Mark the beginning of your lifetime of loss Your eyes scream out because they've long been lost You fell an inkling of the pain you've caused Tongue out in pant, demonstrating exhaust Your legs give out before you carry your cross Starve! Starve! It's the embrace of emaciation On your knees, you beg to eat I decline with certainty At my feet, you pick your teeth I decline with certainty You feel an inkling of the pain you've caused Your legs give out before you carry your cross You, you, you You, you bit the hand that feeds Now starve! Starve! Starve to death

Serpent of infinity, the infinite snake Scales upon scales and waves in its wake Monolithic obelisk entwined in figure eight Cold-blooded treachery stands guard at the gate I will find the open wound as above, so below Contort and harden, painful and ever slow As above, so below The torturous snake constricts the captured dove As above, so below Little heed to warnings, no softening of the blow As above, so below We both know this is the only way up And yet you work the needle without an eye "I would rather eat myself than allow you to pass I, the swallower of the future, the devourer of the past I am the harrowing fear you swore would never last Forever are you entombed in the shadow you cast" Walk forever And now you walk (on) forever You work the needle without an eye But I will follow the open wound

All I see Enveloping me (Embracing me) Are the quivering wings Of despondency (Of eternity) The quail meets the crow in the cradle of finality
I can hear him sharpening his blade I can hear him dragging the tool of his trade The phantom vision The audible taunt The apparition Perpetual haunt The wraith, the wraith O, the arbiter of obsession, the messenger of faith The phantom vision The audible taunt The apparition Perpetual haunt The circumcision Undeniable want Without permission Spiritually gaunt The wraith, the wraith O, the arbiter of obsession, the messenger of faith One body Two souls Purgatorial uncertainty Surrounding mirrors of deceit If he is me, then I am he Illusion shrouded by this spectral sea Murderous stranger of mercy Suicidal proximity Hard to breathe, harder to eat When I've got so many mouths to feed O, wraith Sharpen your blade (O, wraith) Menacing display O, wraith

Time, irrelevant Space, subservient The three dimensional detriment Bows down in obedience The muted implosion of our human constructs we hold so dear The deafening silence of indignant tongues too prideful to rest on their own I seek the calm (I seek the non point) I bear no gifts, I bring no tidings of peace I seek the calm (I seek the non point) I bear no gifts, I pray my troubles may cease The infinite void roars in absolution I seek the calm (I seek the non point) I bear no gifts, I lay my arms at your feet in humility Minds oblivion Trace the obvious The fifth dimension obscured by incompetence Loosen your steadfast grip on your negligence Heat invisible in intensity, burning with the voracity of countless suns Chaos immeasurable in terms of current understanding of the universe around us Conditions never fathomed by even our greatest minds The gargantuan non point compresses all into nothing Beyond the inner horizon lies the gateway to salvation
