Yōkai (妖怪)

The earth is sick

I felt life drain away and watched wickedness reign

I've heard lies justified in the interest of faith

And we burn and kill, consuming at will

There's no turning back now, this is what we built

I don't want to die like this

No martyrs or honour

The hope that died, a soul slaughtered

And if you wrap the fucking noose around my neck

I'll jump and pray I hear the snap ringing in the back of my head

Father

A giant

Consume us all and leave nothing

Life or fire

One mind, devastator

We're filth and pain, a blackened stain

I welcome the end as I'm wasting away

I've become a phantom

An apparition dismantled

I am alone, I am fractured as light becomes

Shadows shift as we're swallowed in a blackhole

Rise

The enemy that I am

We formed a staple of misery

The final drain on all humanity

A soul I'm feeling is departing me

What could I do?

They made me do it

I've become a phantom

An apparition dismantled

I am alone, I am fractured as light becomes

Shadows shift as we're swallowed in a blackhole

Rise

The enemy that I am

Phantom

An apparition dismantled

I am alone, I am fractured and I'll become

Shadows shift as we're swallowed in a blackhole

Rise

The enemy that I am

The enemy that I am

The enemy that I am

I'm so sick of this endless torment

And I'm so tired of being tired

I can feel you scratching at my skin

Yōkai

I'm still subjected to a gnawing at my sanity

It's been my only consistency in reality

But now the cracks are showing

There's just no way of knowing

A growing pain that remains as long as I'll allow

Fuck it kill me now

Finally free from this horror

This nightmare
