Tantum Bellum Lyrics

Dislodgment from unworldly abundancy
Awakening to, inverse of ecstasy
Sentience to true corporal affliction
Temptation of release from torment

Structures sprawled, bludgeoned offal debris
Penetration of vital anatomy
Desecration of eminent sanctity
Instinctive kill for self-preservation
Universal forces pursue to devour
Resistance to dissolve into the infinite
Facing the obstinate black
Frenzied embrace of mortality

Cleaving of extremities
To fortify the waning consciousness
Unearthing of primordial impulse
Embraced by tempered savagery
Writhing upon bloodstained earth
Squirming remnants of the blast
Despoiled of cognition
Forced into singularity

Solo: IL

(previous lines inversed)

Solo: JR

Seizing dominion
Of my soul
Inner sanctum enveloped in shadow
Combat eternal
Cyclical suffering
Tantum Bellum
The Only War
