Abhorrent Rite Of Unbinding Paroles

More lifetimes I must live
Escape mortality
The gods will not forgive

Deep in the darkest texts
I find the rites that I need
Unbinding soul from flesh
Requires that I bleed

Mutilation
Excarnation
Defilement
Condemnation

Open my veins
Into the golden well it drips
Inscribe forbidden words
Upon the parchment strips

Perform the ritual From this day forward
I will never be more whole
Into this ebon box
I seal away my soul

Initiation
Incantation
Recitation
Invocate

The years wear on
The flesh has fallen off my my bones
My power grows
As I devour ancient tomes

A crown upon my skull
My eyes are empty pools
I drape my bones in silk
Replace my teeth with jewels

Enslaving mortal men
I feast upon their lives
My soul lives on
Until the end of days arrives

Coronation
Profanation
Conflagration
Ruination
