Guest Solo by Rafael Trujillo (Obscura, Panzerballett, Mashed Peas)

lyrics

Shadow aligned
My hunger, my thirst, burning
Vanity engaged
Unaware, aloof
Of self-inflicted, mortal wounds

Soaring pillars of toxic fog
Burning up all the air within our lungs
A warning scrawled out with my own blood
Why should the writing on the wall stop me?

A dying heart writhing in my hands
Absurd to think that it could be my own

Unstoppable, this yearning to own it all
Only focused on the cold horizon
Oblivious to the infection within

Soaring pillars of toxic fog
Burning up all the air within our lungs
My own blood spilling won't suppress my lust

Power, my promised land
Unconcerned with what's destroyed to get me there
When every river runs dry
When the flowers shrivel up an die
I'll be living carefree
Away from earthly misery, forever

Basking in the glow
Of flames engulfing my home
Apathy, catastrophe can't touch me
Floating up on a cloud of arrogance
So how could the writing on the wall sway me?

A dying heart bleeding in my hands
Unwilling to admit that it's my own

Living emptiness
That's hidden in my skin
A boiling darkness
An infinite abyss
That is always longing
Always calling

Drag the world deeper into a hell
Lined with my monuments
Shrines of filth
An homage selfishly offered up to my vanity

Feed the blazing fire
With anything in reach
Even the ground under my own feet
Tear all the walls away
There's no need for shelter
When living in conceit

Laughing, up on a cloud
Clearly invincible

Basking in the glow
Of flames engulfing my home
Apathy, catastrophe can't touch me
Floating up on a cloud of arrogance
Sure that the writing on the wall won't stop me
