Lyrics Black Mass - Monasteries

Black Mass

Pull away sinew from bone
I collapse in on myself
Conscious efforts fall short
I watch as time moves faster
Losing all that I held dear
Devoid of reason
Implausible existence comes to life
Sentience has been achieved
The black hole erupts
I am awake
Starving for matter, I crawl towards the nearest satellite
Tendrils of absent light consume my virgin meal, crushed into density
infinitesimal
Without hesitation or remorse I feed
Gaze up towards the sky
Event horizon
Everything in my path will die
Burning flash of light
Great stars engulfed by the ceaseless feast of my unending collapse
Space-bound survivors revel in my might
Everything will die
The conversion settles
Slivers of my former mind still exist
I’m torn between realities
Stuck in the black
I am god
I am existence given form
My infantile consciousness directs me towards one of my kin, one hundred-fold
grander than myself but without mind
Could it be my new vessel?
To quell my hunger forever?
I attempt to merge
Plunge me into the maw of the void, it consumes me but the plan has failed
My consciousness begins to spill, spread throughout the lightless sphere,
cannibalised
Unable to escape
Inside I slumber
I will return
