lyrics

Detritus covers her and spans for miles wide. The potent carnivore in dormant waiting lies. Absence of chlorophyll and feeble withered limbs. Extinction imminent under vivarium. Slaving millennia, her consciousness is gained, threshold of consequence, as black as its domain, balance of chemicals and manifested drive, endless continuum of beings intertwined.

Savoring veal, the hunger daylight cannot satiate. Hunting her prey, consuming paltry life won't satisfy.

Aperture opens, absent emotion, endless devotion, strength grows in numbers, as does her hunger, beast unencumbered. Patience is thinning, bloodlust is growing, enzyme digesting.

Asleep for many moons and trampled under heel, the hive of many minds, connected, see and feel. The bodies' fruiting spreads her masses far and wide, a lust for broadening the instinct deep inside. No need for chloroplast or air to fill its lungs, her being children bring the blood unto their tongues, the vines her arms and legs collective is her mind, feeds the continuum of beings intertwined.

Savoring veal, the hunger daylight cannot satiate. Hunting her prey, consuming paltry life won't satisfy.

Aperture opens, absent emotion, endless devotion, strength grows in numbers, as does her hunger, beast unencumbered. Patience is thinning, bloodlust is growing, enzyme digesting. Strength grows in numbers, as does her hunger, beast unencumbered.
