A Dark Ill by Earth Rot Lyrics

The burden of years
The sapping, the leaching
Taking in what’s most coveted
By others alike, a transient
The life in smoke

Into the skies, like birds of prey
The liquid moves through the shadows
She pecks at the flesh of the mind
Feeding, feasting, draining, all at the same time

The curse of time, in more of darkness than you’ve ever known
Repay those debts, as it was written

Give back to the darkness
That has been so kind
Repay your debt to the dark smoke
To it, a victim to come
Endless bodies and lives to come

The mind, like a serpent unwinding
Rotting away to emptiness
A poison that cannot by siphoned away
Toxic visions corrupt what lies inside
Seeking to survive, survive
It’s not a sickness you know, it’s curse, a shadow inside
It’s not a sickness you’ll ever know, breeding death to stay alive
