Broken Vessel
Broken Vessel: Unveiling the Inner Demon in Black Lotus' Haunting Tale
Lyrics
Sleep calls my name, but the moment I feel its release
Sleep beckons, but as soon as I experience its relief
The beast crawls out from its cage
The inner beast emerges from its confinement
This never ending pull toward carnage
An unending attraction towards destruction
Bags forming under my eyes
Bags under my eyes, signs of weariness
I am a broken vessel, a monster to my kin
I am a shattered being, a menace to my own kind
Turned away by my own family, armor replaces my skin
Rejected by my family, replaced by defensive armor
The sands I see embrace me, the mother I never knew
The sands I witness envelop me, resembling the unknown mother
Both loving and heartless, this is all I see true
Love and cruelty coexist, revealing the harsh reality
Sand coffin
A metaphorical sand coffin, symbolizing entrapment
I feel the bloodlust pulsing, I smell it inside my prey
Sensing a strong desire for blood, detecting it within my prey
All life is worthless, I'll end whoever is in my way
Deeming all life as valueless, willing to eliminate anyone obstructing
Eyes up
Eyes raised, possibly signaling defiance or readiness
Weights shed, now I can't see
Shedding burdens, losing clarity of vision
Feels like the whole world's turned its back upon me
Feeling abandoned by the world, a sense of isolation
Can't keep up, the screaming is piercing
Unable to keep pace, agonizing screams piercing through
Just make it stop
A desperate plea for the torment to cease
With gates open, I lift my hand in desperation
Gates open, raising hand in desperation
Crush all that remains and cripple all that crawls away
Destroying all that remains, crippling those trying to escape
I am a demon
Identifying oneself as a demon, embodying malevolence
I am a broken vessel, a monster to my kin
Reiterating the broken nature, a threat to one's own kind
Turned away by my own family, armor replaces my skin
Exiled by family, adopting defensive armor
Sand burial
Alluding to a burial in the sands
Used as a means for conquer
Utilized as a tool for conquest
Until they saw my soul
Until others perceived the essence of my being
Now I stand atop the city of my people
Now standing above the city of my people
The shadow of wind
Casting a shadow like the wind, suggesting an ephemeral presence
