Precipice Songtext
von Terzij de Horde

I am almost among the nonexistent, teetering on a precipice
The last marrowed bone scaffolds
Still extrude offered up for the impact
Of a rolling and searching and beating tide of fear

Night and blindness

If I am not recognized as real,
What is done to me cannot be described as violence
What lays ahead of me will not be worth remembering,
A systemic incompatibility

I remain, suspended, but still, strangely, animated

Night and blindness

A scepter, a specter, a scythe
A precipice refuge
Ordained for endangered life
Exposed, and barren, and windswept

Sovereignty claimed through the work of death
A spiral transgression

A spiral transgression

Night and blindness


A scepter

A specter

A scythe

Transgression ingrained through suspended attack
An enemy′s revelation

Sovereignty claimed through the work of death
A spiral transgression

Night and blindness

A scepter, a specter, a scythe

Witness to an amputation
Ordained for life laid bare
The sequelae of excommunication

Night and blindness

A scepter
A specter
A scythe

When the blood of the other
Is an attempt on my blood

When the life of the other
Is an attempt on my life


Existence anchored in erasure
Existence for a ruler of life
A few scented flakes of violet
'With his death fade the dreams of the world′

Life beyond utility
A thing condemned
Forced to stand
All transparency and massacre
Decreed to be nothing
Ungrievable
In death-worlds of exception
