in elysian obloquy - halflighted lyrics

i have seen the fall of man
as greed and l*st beget their strife
kings and gods betrayed by their kin
again and again since the birth of time

wrongs are made relentlessly by the blind that see
and with parched claws grasp their own hapless womb
in elysian obloquy they never learn

blighted anew are the halls of rot
blighted anew in elysian obloquy

no outset carries brighter futures
demise is forever concealеd within the exordium
of an heir to thе throne and of the honourable usurper
from the dawn to aphotic death
in elysian obloquy they never learn

“what dreadful noise of waters in my ears
what sights of ugly death within my eyes
methoughts i saw a thousand fearful wrecks
a thousand men that fishes gnawed upon
wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl
inestimable stones, unvalued jewels
all scattered in the bottom of the sea
some lay in dead men’s skulls, and in the holes
where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept—
as ’twere in scorn of eyes—reflecting gems
that wooed the slimy bottom of the deep
and mocked the dead bones that lay scattered by.”
* (shakespeare, king richard iii)

never amended, always worsened
the scars are bleeding again
but soon the land won’t take anymore
farewell man, farewell man, farewell man
the earth is free from your putrid deeds
farewell man, farewell man, farewell man
