Lyrics
Intro
Heavy guitar riffs layered with haunting organ chords, a slow buildup of drums creating an ominous march.
Verse 1
Dark and brooding, with a slow and steady rhythm.
Desperate soldiers tremble with shame,
Weakened and weary, there’s no bloody gain.
Into the charnel house, fattening a grave,
Lost, corrupted, faith and figures decay.
Verse 2
Intensifying with deeper bass and sharp guitar stabs.
Here lies my plunder, my mission, my need,
The hunger for living, this urge to just feed.
Unmask the leper in witness’ confession,
Cleanse this chamber of abandoned relief.
Bridge
The tempo slows, eerie and atmospheric, with echoing vocals.
Secret your souls for the pain (Secret your souls),
I remain hopeless, tyrannous sorcerer.
Beggin’ you pity my fate,
The dark shall seal my state.
Chorus
Explosive and dynamic, with soaring vocals and intense percussion.
Take this anguish away,
Feed my lust 'fore my soul decays! (Feed my lust)
(I know that) In a chamber, I lay (In a chamber),
Unlight, small straights as I led you astray.
Post-Chorus
Driving rhythm, layered with discordant strings and eerie whispers.
Your failure strides, the shadow,
A blessed salvation lies hollow.
Trust not the craving you’ll find,
The binding of death,
You’ll read on the hollow book of skulls.
Verse 3
Returning to the brooding tone, with a slight increase in tempo.
Ghastly phantoms take over my body,
Foul and unclean, unnatural decay.
Folklore of madmen, corrupted in memories,
Once believed, but now here are only remains.
Chorus
Reprise with added vocal harmonies and heavier instrumentation.
Take this anguish away,
Feed my lust 'fore my soul decays! (Feed my lust)
(I know that) In a chamber, I lay (In a chamber),
Unlight, small straights as I led you astray.
Outro
The music fades to a lone guitar riff, accompanied by faint echoes of the organ. The final note resonates, leaving a chilling silence.
