Cut and run
Purify the marrow
Drain the wound and look ahead
In the wake of absence I am all that's left
This justifies everything I did
This is a necessary evil
A means to an end
Make your exit
Never out alive
Sufferer in time
Pull each root from underneath
Reach in and cut into me
So let the guilty hang
Feed long-pig to the starved
Teeth only cut deeper
So follow the leader
Fall into the spiral
Swallow the flesh
This is a matter of survival
This is life or death
Instincts burrow into each nerve
And to nothing you always return
The connection is lost
The connection is lost
The connection is lost
The connection is lost
Why am I always lost?
In the famine I am God
This is where I'm better off
The connection is lost
Your child is gone
Now he's a man and a man pays his debts
Problems bring perspective
This helps me forget
It justifies all that I am
All that I am
Rectify and burn
I always return
It takes control of me
I can never leave
Animal again
What has always been
I am the king of sin
My pain is constant
This is embodiment
I am the king of sin
My pain is constant
This is embodiment
I am the king of sin
My pain is constant
This is embodiment
I am the king of sin
