Recrudescence Songtext
von Astringency

An old familiar malady approaches doorstop once more
Unwelcome, unreasoned, uncorrupted evil to the core
Emptiness defined, dehumanized
Drained of want and self; a hollow rind
Welling up pure terror undefined
Surpassed by evermoving time

In the purgatory of an afflicted mind
Hell on earth manifested its deepest chasm inside
Pulmonary pressure, peritoneum′s pull
Psychosis sets in; brain plots against fragile soul
You and I don't belong
In one piece


Twilight melts into a nightmare awake
Trancelike state breaking, dejection disgraced
Recrudescence: new monster alive
Through collective succor and singular pride
For those long lost rise above the mortal fray
Relieve the sickness, open the cage
Release of innocents rotting in pain
Every tear counted, ne′er cry out in vain
It will not fucking win this day

Could be a fate much worse than death
So sayeth the sufferers of every age
Therein lies the open door
Slip out the glorious exit

My most powerful tool betrays me again
Now a mere weapon dead set on my end
Ruiner of all most precious, contentment's bitter foe
Too much, too many you've taken
Hateful intransigence grows

The night darkens...

So let us blacken further still
The golem crawls from the internal corridor
Stopped in its tracks, it never met a spirit so strong


For now alive
I
Most powerful
Mind
Is over all
These hellish depths survived by will
We are creatures too stubborn to fail

Twilight melts into a nightmare awake
Trancelike state breaking, dejection disgraced
Recrudescence: new monster alive
Through collective succor and singular pride
For those long lost rise above the mortal fray
Relieve the sickness, open the cage
Release of innocents rotting in pain
Every tear counted, ne′er cry out in vain
It will not fucking win this day
For those long lost rise above the mortal fray

It will not win this day
