Bleed

The title for this track was initially 'Aneurysm', as quoted by Tomas Haake in an interview when asked about the lyrics for Bleed.

[Verse 1] Beams of fire sweep through my head Thrusts of pain increasingly engaged Sensory receptors succumb I am no one now, only agony The crimson liquid so frantically spilled The ruby fluid of life unleashed [Verse 2] Ripples ascend to the surface of my eyes Their red pens drawing at random, at will A myriad pains begotten in their wake The bastard spawn of a mutinous self The regurgitation of my micro nemesis Salivating red at the prospect of my ruin, my doom [Bridge 1] Malfunction - the means for its ascent Bloodletting - the stringent voice to beckon my soul [Bridge 2] So futile, any resisting tension As death-induced mechanics propel its growth [Verse 3] The implement, the device of my extinction The terminating clockwork of my gleeful bane The definitive scourge of its mockery The end-art instruments lethality attained [Chorus] Heed - it commands, heed my will Bleed - it says, bleed you will [Verse 4] Falling into the clarity of undoing Scornful gods haggle for my soul Mind's eye flickers and vellicates as I let go Taunting whispers accompany my deletion [Outro] A sneering grin, the voice of my reaper Chanting softly the song of depletion
