Emissary of the Void Lyrics

2-16

To cease to prefer
To occupy yourself with absence
With the obligation
To be nothing ever again
16-32

In an orgy of renunciation
With a mask of objectivity
You strive to suffer
You are greedy for the worst

Our contortions
Visible or secret
On an earth
That vomited us forth

32-49

Impregnated by that nothing
To the point of intoxication
The contagion of the end
At the climax of our void

49

(short scream)

54-74

The whole world is in flames
The world is wrapped in clouds of smoke
The world is devoured by fire
The whole world trembles

74-94

To stay on this side of madness
You must frequent those more demented than yourself
Fertile for awakening but fatal to action
Rotten at the roots

94-106

He will find himself naked
Facing the abyss
That follows upon all dogmas
Corroded by wisdom

106-116

One does not repair chaos
Equilibrium
In all its forms
Smothers the mind

116

(long scream)

128-136

Seditious creatures
Whose every smile
Is subversive
With a thirst for non-becoming

136-144

The disgust inspired
By the sight of any book
A hierarchy
Of unrealities

170-202

You awake and see yourself
Naked under the cosmos
Things dissolve
Before your testing thought
An illusion begets
And sustains the world
We try to forget the body
But it does not forget us

I identify myself
With neither my words
Nor my actions
Man is an abyss

I have contributed
To the debilitation
Of the man I was
Enmeshed in destructive thought

202-214

The brotherhood of suffering
Between everything alive
The dread of being
Stares into your eyes

216

(scream)

224-238

In a rage of submission
Still rooted in matter
You are subordinated
To its blind laws

238-254

In a deadly gush
We perceive our minds
Dangling in the threads
Of their own spinning

You long to escape
From the earthly vale of tears
Be infertile
Let the earth be silent

254

(scream)
266-278

Unable to rid yourself
Of these existential cramps
To lose yourself in the bliss
Of labour and love

305-325

Refusal of nourishment, fear of life
These are the bitter fruits
Of a geniality of thought
At the root of misanthropic tendencies

325-345

-
We pursue the delusion
-
Of being fated
-
For supremacy and triumph
-
For evolutionary glory

350-356

(dual)

Man beholds
Earth
Breathing
Like a giant lung

356-362

(dual)

An emissary
Of the void
The great tempter
Whose schemes are feared

362-368

(dual)

Everything
Seems erased
And suspended
I feel nothing

368-384

Bliss without substance
-
Without any support
-
In any world at all
-
All is transitory
-

384

(scream)
