Sonus Mortis - Wretched Flesh, I Embrace

Another night without no sleep.
Into my shell peace hides so deep.
So blacken my world and my Sun.
There is nowhere to run -
So cast that first stone and then you’re done.

Rupture my heart and let it swell.
Leave with emptiness in this hell.
Closer to my end with every breath.
With wretched flesh, I embrace.

My fragile heart is barely beating.
My lungs compressed by all this breathing.
I hope this time it comes for me.
I hope this time it sets me free.

Rupture my heart and let it swell.
Leave with emptiness in this hell.
Closer to my end with every breath.
With wretched flesh, I embrace.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

I suppose we all thought that, one way or another. "

Rupture my heart and let it swell.
Leave with emptiness in this hell.
Closer to my end with every breath.
With wretched flesh, I embrace.

Shatter my heart with your wretched flesh.

Shatter my heart with your wretched flesh.
