Horrid Mortal Tendrils

from Coagulating Mirth by The Atrophic

/

lyrics

I call out to the boundaries of creation
For the strong and powerful of illusory repute
To hear my cries

Your works are known far and wide
The fruit of your labor is cherished
Your accomplishments tower the common man
Your fervor and devotion are unmatched

Yet with each step toward your goals
Your body wears out, tearing at the joints through ligaments and bone
Veins and nerves throb in denial
With each word from your mouth, the breath of life dissipates
Each victory overshadowed by horrid mortal tendrils

Remember that you are mortal!
Today, you will reap the reward
While tomorrow’s downfall festers

You even receive admiration from your enemies
Who quiver in your presence
Ambition driven, dopamine addicted
Light of this world shine forth!
Blast your rays of narcissism
Self idol worship
Prepare for harvest!

Remember that you are human!
Of the dirt and for the worms
With eyes to see, witness your own downfall
Your own downfall!
