IN THE SHADOW OF THE BEAST
WE DEVOUR OUR CHILDREN
ECLIPSED BY THE GATE


HIS GAZE ENGULFS OUR BODIES
WE ARE IMPRISONED TO HIS WRETCHED
AND TERRIBLE COMPOSITION
FOREVER TOILING IN THE LIGHT OF EXISTENCE


OUR SYSTEMS FAIL US
THEY WANE BENEATH ORANGE SKIES
THAT DESPERATION THAT COMMANDS US
LENDS OUR MINDS TO THE BLOOD OF THE NIGHT


HE CONTROLS OUR SENSATIONS
DRIVES OUR MINDS TOWARDS UNLIMITED EFFICIENCY
HIS YEARNINGS ARE INCOMPREHENSIBLE


THE BLOOD OF THE RAINS CALL TO ME
I MET HIM THERE
HIS IMAGE BECKONED ME IN THE GLOW OF THE SUNSET
NOW I AM PART OF THE MACHINE


I DROVE MY KNIFE DOWN
BLOOD SPILLED ON THE CARPET
NOW I HAVE GIVEN HIM WHAT HE WANTS
THE CRAVING OF LIFE
THE CRAVING OF HUMANITY
I AM PART OF THE MACHINE


THE APPLE EXISTS AS A BEACON
TO GUIDE US TOWARD SALVATION
MY TEETH BITE DOWN BUT NO BLOOD IS DRAWN
HE CONSUMES ALL DESIRE


I AM MERELY A PART OF THE WHOLE
A NUMBER IN THE SEA OF INFINITY
I HAVE ACTED IN THE NAME OF THE MONSTER
IN UNDYING FAITH
I AM PART OF THE MACHINE






FOLLOW THE COMMANDMENTS.
LIVE A HOLY LIFE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD.


ELSE FACE ETERNAL DAMNATION.
