Hedon Lyrics - The Mind's I - Dark Tranquility

How hungry we've become 

Like animals naked in shame 

Fed with the hooves of apocalypse 

That galloped down 

Disordered worlds behind 

From word to a word, I was led to a word 

That spanned over cultures in rage 

Crimson masses, steeped in decadence 

Holding our tongues to the thirsty sun 

So, is the future still open? 

Then enter, hornet from our hive-dark hearts 

To draw down the end from within 

We need not the horns that emanate 

From our warty, haunted bodies 

Nihilist, Hedon, the priceless art of their lives 

Sorrow is a wing laid atop their heads 

Skin deep, we carve our immeasurable sorrow 

In the fold of your shivering arms 

Hedon, your children wild 

And filled with death 

Jupiter in our unforgiving eyes 

A pandemonium of bodies and gold 

Eager as a part of your face 

And the sickness attached to your skin 

(Stone) 

As the wine-rush, charging 

From androgynous wombs 

To open free the lid of pain 

Hedon, rinsed in post-human shadows 

A monument scorned by the teeth of time 

Stale faced keeper of secrets 

Loaded with implosive fire 

The whore that carried the apostle 

To the mating point on the graves of giants 

We look at you, afraid 

To see what we really are
