Metamorphosis

Track 6 and the title track from the forthcoming release from Anagnorisis, "Peripeteia." Debuting on October 21, 2016 on Vendetta Records.

Lyrics:

Within this black mirror
I embrace my truest form.
To know thyself and trust no one
In blackest sin the sheddings done. 
   
This sum of scars remains the same. 
Repentance laced with hexed benevolence. 
Wounds kissed with salted lips.
 As the life I rode in on is now weak with rust. 
 
Husk removed in forlorn decay.  
Communion fed with tears of wine. 
Unifying this trinity of scum. 
Communication through altercation.

Father.
Mother.
Unwanted son. 
Forgiveness never. 

Beasts of martyrdom. 
Sympathy in admiration. 
Forgiveness never. 
 
At what cost were you forsaken?
Do you suffer breathless dreams, back on distant shores?
Not all is lost when bridges burn, reflecting back and  forgetting none.  

By myself but not myself. 
I've moved on as you've moved down. 

This trinity of scum. 

Accountability lays just beneath me. 

This trinity of scum. 

I hung for your sins of failed relations. 
Not by gallows but by line for all to see. 
Embodiment of charity.
"Oh how I've failed," the wretched said. 

The perfect life. 
The perfect fraud. 
The perfect traitor is here at hand. 
All I had to lose was everything,
As I gave my life to this void of demand. 

Alive within this black mirror for all to see. 

This is now existence, as it was always meant to be. 

Alive within this black mirror  for all to see. 

I don't desire acceptance, or cross, or pity. 
All past tense and passé.  

Within this black mirror
I begin to reflect affinity, 
Within this black mirror
I embrace my truest form. 

I now know myself and trust no one. 
In blackest sin the sheddings finally done.

Lyrics:

In these halls I wept as great deceivers bow and lose the head. 
Your time the corpse and mine the earthly shroud.
Topside of this crooked life it's all just dirt. 

I was born to cover up your scent. 
The muck of life on the back of death. 
To fail each other now is to occupy the moments in between our lies. 
As Judas, I'd single you out and gladly hang. 
My life has always been one step above the grave. 

You created this Christ-like life. 
You wanted something born to break

Something wrong to save. 
Held breath in the lungs of hate. 

The exhale, the faithless chant,
foundations built on sand.
Only one set of footsteps in my past

If not myself then no one
No God to give me light! 

No crutch-shaped cross in my hand.
No idols or words of worship from these lips.

No past atonements for my actions.

All I see is you in these eyes: hideous, most precious, and closest to home. 
The rough side of a polished mask is my true self. 

To wear away the shame of lineage in these veins. 

I surrender no light in this shit life. 
I hear your words on dated lies.

You always provoked the best in me by showing me the worst of you.
