Lyrics The Rot - Kamikabe

The Rot

Timber unfit for the fire
Rotten and infested
Sinking slowly into the earth below
A small stem of life remains at the core
A shrinking ribbon of vessels drawing sustenance from its own husk of
decomposing tissues
Eating away at itself to survive just a bit longer
Once a mighty tree deeply rooted, once admirable now blown to the ground by the
winds of time, unable to withstand the encumbrance of its own growth
And as that of man in disdain he feeds from a corrosive regret that hollows out
cavities that once held him in passion
Eating the rot becoming the void
The insidious poison of regret that turns man into chaff and the living to dead
