Coils 3: Behind The Skin

from Bound To The Depths by Tormentium

lyrics

I stalk my prey with instinctual precision
Phasing the night, smelling their fear
Subjectified to experiments in torture
Flayed and displayed, my mission austere
Won’t be the last but just one of the many
Who will unveil the map of a corpse
The flesh dissected past recognition
Besides what these artful eyes see, of course

Beyond Infallibility, Rests Enlightenment

Darkness is where I was given my work
Terror is where I find true beauty lurks
Returned from the void to deathly pursue
The truth of what breathes life into you
As I watch the blade caress through the flesh
A picture of asymmetrical distress
Primitive lines on a human canvas
Mortality in practice not sadness

Words on a tombstone, hold no meaning
Art only justifies life, total death is art

Falling back from the void, so cold
Swimming through the vast unknown
Aether of un-life’s blessed peace
Why lord, have you rejected me?
A dead heartbeat returned to speed...
Visionary eyes opened beyond my deeds?

My creator, Oh my muse!
What lies deeper, Than your truth?

Shadows of the dead call for my goal
To dig through flesh and expose them all
Hearing their screams harkens back to the deep
To the abyss of incorporeal sleep



Lord, if i unfold your meaning
Mayest I return?
To the land of frozen time
Where life and death dance in twilight?

Returned to the mortal world
His tentacles seethe and unfurl

The blade shall be my key
Show me untarnished honesty
Meaning of his will expressedly
Surely will become clear momentarily

In their eyes i see his truth
In their flesh i’ll stake his claim

Disgusting miserable reality
Its people hold no hope for me
Abyss of death beckons to eat
These sheep devoid of beauty

Tormentium Eugene, Oregon

Tormentium was summoned from the eternal grey of the Cascadian Willamette Valley, in Autumn of 2004. It was created with the intent of expressing their darkest musical vision beyond reality. As a metal band with elements of black, death and thrash, Tormentium has always tried to break the bonds of genre specifications and cultivate an honest sound that is grandiose, eerie, and melodically brutal. ... more
