It starts A planted seed Though blight It seems As pressure moans and intoxicate Roots in decay A toxic cycle becomes a chase Slowly erased it’s way back It’s moving faster You can’t distract her Servant and master In sync since capture Life is not what it used to be Flowing through the veins, how they shriek Watch as they fuse into one Forced, no separation No turning back now No turning back now Fainted decay temple Now live with two lives, with two lives Rooted decay pairing corrosion Gazing opaque eyes (eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes)
