We cracked the madman's skull and we drank all his wisdom
And drink we did until we were driven mad
The city's towers crumble making way for spires of flesh
The disease descended from the moonlit sky
By occulted gods of space and time
Us human wretches were granted insight
Holy blood runs in our veins
Flesh unfurls, becomes replaced
An ancient thirst for blood awakes
And fast as lightning overtakes us
Wrath, born of blood
Hatred seething within me
Wrath, born of blood
Serpents coiling and reeling
And I can see the starless night unwind
And I can see the stars inside you
Fire and blood fill the air
As we turn into the beasts we've always been
Heeding the call of the night
Lepers howling at the moonlit sky
Beasts of eldritch flesh divine
Eyes which never shut are watching all
Occulted gods of time and space
The primal ancestry of our race
An ancient thirst for blood awakes
And fast as lightning overtakes us
