[Verse 1 - breathy, intimate, dreamy, floating] Friction... riveted pleasure... broken... fitted with Treasure... dressed in crime... you saw my face... (oh waei-aei—ah-oh—æ̃h) frozen time... (AAAHH...) stretched through space... (A-A-AHH...) lost without grace... [verse 2 - breathy, intimate, dreamy, floating with forward motion] the road of dark... grrhh‑raa… takes the spark... (ohh....) death surrounds, striking bells for hell's hounds... ghooh‑vaa…grrhh‑raa‑vaa... [prechorus - stretched, confused, intimate, dreamy, floating with upward motion] galloping death, holding it's breath... my solitude heart, torn apart... down—set—ghooh‑vaa…(AAAAHH...)

[verse 4 - cold, fractured, reality bending, in between life and death] the light stopped next to my skin... as if i began to not exist... i walked out of my body... into sin... is this dream— or is this death... come for me, dressed in teeth... [Chorus 2 - close mic, personal,measured, mid growl, 7/8; choir, floating and swaying] raa‑khaa…vrr‑aa‑ghaa… æ̃h...oh—æ̃h... oh—æ̃h—ah oh ghooh‑vaa… vohh… graa… mmm‑ghrr… æ̃h...oh—æ̃h... oh—æ̃h—ah oh DEATH COMES FOR ALL (Memento mori...)
