Ingested – The Empyrean Creed lyrics

[Verse 1]
When all are liars
Betrayal gifts both slave and sire
I won't desist
The king with his kill list, conviction contortionist
I know I can't resist

[Refrain]
The void is calling
I can't rip out this fucking cancer
The void is calling
It offers me the only answer
The void is calling
The itch won't stop, I won't surrender
The void is calling
I want it all in all its splendour

[Verse 2]
Aphid, ascension
Rise into eternal kingdoms
Shed malignant skin
Remove all organism
Autophagous appetite
Detritus, all are victims
Outgrown, we've flown
Departed from our stale dominion

[Pre-Chorus]
Murder of my flock will not suffice
I need to purge the sin within a battle I alone won't win
This gift of blood, a global sacrifice
I can't bear the burden

[Chorus]
I won't stand by a god who won't prove they exist
And let others rejoice with my vision dismissed
Create my own Eden with death on display
Empyrean creed, the infallible way

[Verse 2]
When all are liars
Betrayal gifts both slave and sire
I won't desist
The king with his kill list, conviction contortionist
I know I can't resist
When all are damned
Robes fashioned with the slaughtered lamb
To coexist
I cut their wrist, that's one less cyst that won't be missed
I hear the void, it's calling

[Pre-Chorus]
Murder of my flock will not suffice
I need to purge the sin within a battle I alone won't win
This gift of blood, a global sacrifice
I can't bear the burden

[Chorus]
I won't stand by a god who won't prove they exist
And let others rejoice with my vision dismissed
Create my own Eden with death on display
Empyrean creed, the infallible way

[Bridge]
My jaws are aching
For I feast upon my own self-worth
I never tire from taking
I will gorge my way into my hearse
You think I care? You're mistaken
A morality fatality
And I will self-destruct
For I am Icarus and every moment I fly closer to the sun
Burn
My jaws are aching
For I feast upon my own self-worth
I never tire from taking
I will gorge my way into my hearse
You think I care? You're mistaken
A morality fatality
And I will self-destruct
For I am Icarus and every moment I fly closer to the sun

[Outro]
I can't bear the burden
I can't bear the burden
