lyrics

Endless hunger
Lust for power
flesh is weak
Meat for the divine

Eyes awake the fear slips itself back in,
relentless, these demons gnaw at the sun
A thousand teeth cut at their self reflection
This ego fading into blackened smoke

This Great illusion
This self collusion
Feast of an aeon
Rakshama!

Arise their hands stained in blood
The children of the snake rejoice
Blood flows down their throats
Hallowed ground left as a husk

Endless hunger
Lust for power
flesh is weak
Meat for the divine

From death to birth we are its witness
Sunken eyes look into sunken souls
In the bowels the engine of ruin
Ever turning its wheels to suffocate this world

This Great illusion
This self collusion
Feast of an aeon
Rakshama!

Arise their hands stained in blood
The children of the snake rejoice
Blood flows down their throats
Hallowed ground left as a husk
as they feast on the earth
I will leave my body as my sacrifice
