First let me say, I’m not deranged - Though some would say I made up everything
The illness they say, Lies in my brain - Then why won’t anyone take it away
The whispers I hear - Could not be faked - So hear my tale I’ve laid bare everything
Since I was a boy I’ve heard it’s voice inside my head
Though doctors say it couldn’t be that
Even shown it’s face they give me looks of their distaste
Well how the fuck would they know anyway
broken and beat - Just let me sleep
I know no reprieve - From this constant nightmare
At age 23 I taste defeat - While all of my peers are wasting lives so sweet
Broken and torn - Why was I born (Tell me)
There has to be more - Than this waking Hell
Skirted and scorned - Because I’m deformed (Kill me)
I don’t see the point - In trying to hold on
Hours laid awake - I’m hastened to an early grave
With no one in which - To share my torment
Though my family comes - I know they’d rather stay away
Such shame I see Inside their faces
What have we done - To bring an evil on this world
Though we have prayed - And we have wept
We’re borne a son - Of such ill will
What have I done - To earn such malice from my own
When parents shun their only son - For seeds that he has never sown
Why should I go on - What here is left for me
Except a demon’s ugly face - With such hate only i can see
Are these thoughts my own - Or have I fallen to the seed
That it has planted in my mind - For on my misery it feeds
So it seems - No help is ever coming for me
And though I’d hoped - The truth was always plain to see
When heaven weeps - I know it’s never for my name
What god above - Would ruin a child this way
In silence serene - I try to dream
Through the veil of death - I hope to pass unburdened
Though selfish my deed - I need release
Who would stop to think - To even mourn for me
With a glass in my hand - I tip the vial on its end
The screaming from the demons face - Shall never bother me again
Clutching at my heart - To death I’m destined from the start
With fear I turn my face below - And leave my body for the crows
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album.
Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band.
Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction
