Necrophony

Resist the sly temptation
Of immortality
Seductive and auspicious
Beware its treachery

I grieve, lament in loathsome loneliness
Naive desire to taste the kiss of death
Embrace nothingness

Ceaseless symphony
My mortality's denied
Thus, I write my necrophony

A man of many faces
Greet not, beguiling guest
Sign not of the crafty contract
Your soul shall never rest

I grieve, lament in loathsome loneliness
Naive desire to taste the kiss of death

At first it seems a gift
Redemption and rebirth
Deserved apotheosis
In truth 'tis but a curse
Ambitious and relentless
You gain immortal power
The price to pay is settled
By darkness be devoured

Now grieve, lament in loathsome loneliness
Naive desire to taste the kiss of death
Embrace nothingness

Embrace nothingness
In the end you'll yearn to die
Taste the kiss of death
Ceaseless symphony
Your mortality's denied
Thus, always necrophony
