[Intro]
Burn!
[Verse 1]
Hunger of a tyrant, the murder of logic
Decayed sense of self, the harmony of pain
Discorded melodies, eroded memories
Deception of the curse
[Refrain]
Addicted suffering
The affliction that it brings
Addicted suffering
[Verse 2]
Commander from hell, emaciated entity
Companion in my mind, the affliction of contentment
The ecstasy of agony, the circularity
A dehydrated corpse will be my destiny
[Chorus]
For the love of pain
My twisted pleasure reigns
For the illusion of control
When will we ever see the light?
[Post-Chorus]
Now, learn to listen to me
Now, you're gonna see it my way
No, no, no, no, don't listen to him
[Bridge]
Die!
The fear of constellation contorted by the lies
Enslaved by this curse that breathes inside my soul
In the depths of this darkened world, all these lies we can't control
I've seen the world explode in my nightmares, watch them die
Kill!
[Verse 1]
Hunger of a tyrant, the murder of logic
Decayed sense of self, the harmony of pain
Discorded melodies, eroded memories
Deception of the curse
[Chorus]
For the love of pain
My twisted pleasure reigns
For the illusion of control
When will we ever see the light?
[Post-Chorus]
Now, learn to listen to me
Now, you're gonna see it my way
No, no, no, no, don't listen to them
[Bridge]
In the depths of this darkened world, all these lies we can't control
I've seen the world explode in my nightmares, watch them die
