Intro (Chant) Ash to ash… breath to flame… Impulses rise… they carve my name. Verse 1 Dark hands tremble, pulling me low, Through the mire where shadows grow. Every thought a serpent’s breath, Every whisper a vow of death. Chorus These impulsive thoughts are ruining me, Chained to the altar of misery. A crown of silence, a shroud of fire, Ruined by the weight of desire. Verse 2 The candles bleed, the air is stone, The echoes chant in tongues unknown. Every urge, a ritual knife, Etching scars that drain my life. Chorus These impulsive thoughts are ruining me, Carved in the scripture of blasphemy. The night bends low, the stars decay, Impulses guide me astray. Bridge (Ritual Invocation) Hear the fire… hear the flame… Burning marrow, calling my name. Hear the silence… hear the void… Impulses rise to be destroyed. Final Chorus These impulsive thoughts are ruining me, Entombed in ritual, never free. Through smoke, through shadow, endlessly, They ruin, they ruin me. Outro (Whispered Chant) Ash to ash… dust to dust… Impulses devour… impulses must.
