lyrics

just a fleshy mess
a mistake, at best

no eternal soul
nothing after this

a mutation of words
a messianic spark

the controlling hand
of an absent god

the absent king
of the human being

they’ve written a book
in an unknown tongue

the analogion
a gossip’s bliss

bring him your gold
give him your desire

for the darkened mills
keep stoking the fire

the absent king
of the human being
