[Intro] [Verse 1] How does the force of nature dare to even try Tarnishing this perfectly blank canvas of mine Blinding me with colors of this multiplying rot Painting such picture of me that I am the despot [Chorus] What else should life be if not a messed-up potion A writhing infestation of pointless motion Only in decay does the world finally rest I shall cleanse my nation of all that living pest [Verse 2] Valedryn kingdom, prepare for my unseen purge For I shall rid you of this everlasting scourge Life always festers; stillness is true purity So watch me kill this fate's laying obscurity [Chorus] What else should life be if not a messed-up potion A writhing infestation of pointless motion Only in decay does the world finally rest I shall cleanse my nation of all that living pest [Bridge] Highest order - staying still Warmth dissipating into chill I'm new king, the Lord of Plague When darkness wakes, all shall turn vague [Chorus] What else should life be if not a messed-up potion A writhing infestation of pointless motion Only in decay does the world finally rest I shall cleanse my nation of all that living pest [Chorus Repetition] What else should life be if not a messed-up potion A writhing infestation of pointless motion Only in decay does the world finally rest I shall cleanse my nation of all that living pest [End]
