Lyrics

A million magic mirrors

A multitude of enchanting mirrors

Empty your reflection

Reflect upon and release your own image

Fading youthful flowers grey

Youthful blossoms lose vibrancy, turn grey

Curl and wither, darker days

Curl and wither in the face of darker days

Echo and Oread, Aphrodite suicide

Echo, a mountain nymph, and Oread, a wood nymph, join in Aphrodite's self-destruction

Oxyrynchus papyri, isolate and nullify

Ancient Egyptian texts (Oxyrynchus papyri) isolate and render ineffective


What yonder bleak and sickening strife awakes

Questioning the source of bleak and nauseating conflict

Broken window, crackling spidery poisons

A shattered window emitting poisonous cracks like a spider's web


Blackening blanket of xanthic xerarchic

A darkening covering of yellowed, early-stage ecological succession

Zombie skin sallow gash apopleptic

Zombified skin with a pale, gaping, apoplectic wound

World-ending fever, a horror of torpor

An apocalyptic fever, a horror of lethargy

Crescent corona collapsing cerebellum

The crescent-shaped aura collapsing the cerebellum

Febrile fingers grasp gasping galaxy

Feverish fingers seizing the gasping galaxy

Slashing orgasmic demise and attrition

A violent climax of death and attrition


Carrying wounds of Sisyphus

Bearing the enduring wounds of Sisyphus

Suffer eternal in waning fogs of tragedy

Enduring perpetual suffering in the diminishing mists of tragedy

Across a vast and tortured wasteland

Over a vast and tortured wasteland

Sprawl tendrils of nebulous abandon

Extending tendrils of indistinct abandonment

Wings of extinction / Claws of caustic blood corruption

Wings representing extinction and claws embodying corrosive blood corruption


Veneration ego dagger dead dissect

Reverence, ego, dagger, lifeless, dissect

and fornicate upon the soiled corpus

Engage in sexual acts on a tainted body

Generation spit and swallow headless totem bled

Generation spits and swallows a headless idol that bleeds

and masticate the hollow chorus

Chew on the empty chorus

Sin of pride, son of fire and heat where shadows hide

The sin of pride, offspring of fire and shadows


To drown, to die

To be submerged, to meet death

To sink in one’s self

To descend into one's own self

Narcisschism

Narcissistic self-absorption
