lyrics

I have seen all the colors In the last dying light

I've adapted to a comfort found only in night

The darkness abundant, unleashing a spell

The ringing in my ears is far too difficult to quell


Lucifer awaits in a chair on his porch 

The apotheosis of those living by torch


Surrounded by only the sounds of my steps

The way this cave echoes sounds like it has wept

For thousands of years and hidden out of sight

A pathway to sacrosanct Satanic might


"The mud may be cool but the soil reaches deeper

Harvest your grain" so speaks the Reaper

"The pain within patience brings forth your frustration,

this stillness is far different than stagnation!"


Claw at the dirt , the rock and the grime

Lull yourself with an indicative rhyme


A tale of woe, of a tyrant called reason

The soliloquy of solitary decadence and treason


And so while Satan laughs and offers up some tea

You think "that terrible smile has nothing to do with me?"

And when the mirror never lies and your innards begin to scorch

You then realize what it truly means to be living by torch


There is nothing more clear yet hurtful and strange

When everyone one around you suddenly seems far more stupid and deranged

Their eyes they squabble at your desperate attempts

To collect all the pieces of you that you still have left 


Living By Torch
