Pierced from Within
Suffocation
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Penetrate the minds of those misfortuned at birth. Murder is etched in the deepest chasms of the soul. Salvation stripped from the origin of existence. Obstinacy abandons, as you yield your world to me. Decree of my darkest dreams. Memories of my future. Welcome to my church. Sodomize my cross for it now marks your existence. Dismissal of lucivity, consume my body and blood. Supplicate for death, obscurity condemns the structure. Spectral abominations, the gathering of souls. Befall the rise of inhumanity. Returned to a land you've never been. You kill again for the first time. Recollections of what never was. Decree of my darkest dreams. Memories of my future. Welcome to my church. I am your savior. Shapeless to your perception. For I am you, pierced from within. Pierced from within.
