Sepsis

Album: Into Oblivion (2025)

  • On the eve of the great unraveling, I took the long way home
    Sickness clouded the night air, along the darkened road

    New baseline insanity
    Racing the engines of conformity

    Holy Mother Death, rising up from Mexico
    To cast her rictus grin across the wilted amber waves below
    Holy Mother Death, walk with me into the night

    Far too strange to be estranged
    Terror sweeps the fruited plain
    But I was born undead and given to offense
    Coffin nails and graveyard dust to curse the populists

    Caustic, anodyne
    Caustic, anodyne
    Caustic, anodyne
    Caustic, anodyne

    Stitched together, strung with a Kevlar thread
    Sneaks the reaper, a hooked blade across your neck
    Smoke bathing, death's head
    Silver turns to lead
    Sneaks the reaper

    Stolen flowers of the state, devotion to a hidden saint
    Dead and hanging upside down, destruction of your holy ground
    Calling me to take it, then to raze it, I will burn you out

    Now the reign of death begins
    You're all in a cult
    A fucking death cult
    And I venerate your end
    Muer-muerte
    Muerte

    Oh, muerte
    Muerte Writer/s: David Blythe, John Campbell, Mark Morton, William Adler
