Gaze ye not into the abyss
Dare not seek the fruit
A balance is struck
For machine and man
The animal and the mineral
Flesh-wrapped steel ambulated by mind
Venom-tainted nectar corrupting in time
Human sleeves conceal the grim charade
A torturous masquerade
Deep searching the eyes
Pries deep the claws
Rend apart this grim dissection
Withdraw the primal
Exhume all desire
One with the endless
Your nirvana has been made by your own hands
Flesh-wrapped steel ambulated by mind
Venom-tainted nectar corrupting in time
Human sleeves conceal the grim charade
A torturous masquerade
As the tides succumb to the moon
Its will upon them a helpless waltz
You, too, shall fall
As you have risen
Embrace the death which awaits you
Abandon the hope which misled you
These pathways of steel
Made you what you now forsake
Give in to the abyss
Flesh-wrapped steel ambulated by mind
Venom-tainted nectar corrupting in time
Human sleeves conceal the grim charade
A torturous masquerade
