Exhale the Ash Songtext
von Ulcerate

Viral compulsion
Born of fractured humanity
Blindly advance by pronouncements
Of all against all
Fragment the reason for being
Consume the vacuous, the disillusion

Lay to waste
And relinquish the earth
Ablaze

Unshackled
Go forth with eyes glazed over
Define your purpose as the riches of sin
Bled out from the remnants

Fallen
All bonds broken
Forged of lies

The end has been written
By our ascent

Exalt nothing


Roots torn from beneath all
Adorned with scars of excess
In eulogy we will not be absolved

Retreat from sanctity
Possessors not of time nor hope
Confront extinction
To repent, but not endure

Fallen
All bonds broken
Forged of lies

Entrenched and held within
Relinquish the covenant

The rot cannot be drawn
From dead veins
Unremitting in worship
Of empty gods
Return to the dawn
Before invoking
Our own suffering

Bear witness to what is before us
Dissolve all the illusions
Be brought back down to ashes
