Venom Prison - Samsara lyrics



Tracks



01. Matriphagy

Invaded, acceptance of fertility
Like leeches digesting their way into the uterus
Through the human endometrium
Aligned like a fortress, a lethal barrier
The implantation, a fight for survival

The maternal cells in a fierce combat
Against the invading trophoderm
Genetic diversity means deadly rivalry
To sate the thirst for nutrients
The placental cells hunt for arteries
Annihilating everything in their path

Maternal generosity, sacrifice of love

The conceived is challenged
To prove the worthiness of life
By displaying a vigorous lust
Aggressive and invasive
The maternal despot, resilient and hostile

Maternal generosity, sacrifice of love

Ruthlessness
A hormonal cold war
Inside the womb
A battlefield
With dead on both sides
Selfish ego flourished
The mother feeds the brood upon herself
As it drinks, she weakens
Strengthening the young
Swarmed by the offspring
Injected with venom and devoured
Like prey

02. Megillus & Leana

Suffocated, stoned to death
Paid with life for homophobic laws
Those without sin cast the first stone
Celebrate the cracking of another backbone
Cast the first stone

Suffocated, stoned to death
Paid with life for homophobic laws
Those without sin cast the first stone
Celebrate the cracking of another backbone

Buried into the ground, this hole stays his grave
Facial deformities, bones sticking out behind flesh and skin
Blood is what they desire, death is what they crave
Buried into the ground, this hole is a grave

Strained by soil, the victim is twitching in uncontrollable pain
The skull split, blood washed away by the rain
Tortured screams behind a pile of rocks nobody dares to hear
A vulgar display of power
You fear what you don't understand
Who deviates is damned

Blood is what they desire, death is what they crave
Buried into the ground, this hole is a grave

When the bloodthirst is appeased, a lifeless body left to die
The highest price paid for honour and for the right to love Withdrawn from individuality
Obliterated for abnormality
Human dignity reduced to abjection
Immolated for heteronormativity
Cast the first stone

Pulled by the hair like a battered hound
With a noose around the neck dragged across the ground
Her mouth filled with rocks and holy soil
Screams for justice heating up the turmoil
Born in the wrong body. she will hang
When the lungs collapse, her last breath will clang
Obliterated for abnormality
Human dignity reduced to abjection
Immolated for heteronormativity

Suffocated, stoned to death
Paid with life for homophobic laws
Those without sin cast the first stone
Celebrate the cracking of another backbone
Celebrate the cracking of another backbone

Blood is what they desire, death is what they crave
Buried into the ground, this hole is a grave

Violent death by absolution
You fear what you don't understand
Vulgar display of power

03. Uterine Industrialisation

Beauty, once wild and free
Now silent and domesticated
Mothers separated
Possessions confiscated
Shackled, marked, and branded
Slave owners need to spot their thrall
Chastised, abused, manipulated
But the blossom will not fall

Unethical, industrialisation of the uterus
Utilised, maximum effectivity desired
Unethical, uterus industrialised

Usurpation of motherhood
Aggressive birth trauma
Ushered from the comfort of the womb
Into the world
Rough handled by strangers
Detached from the umbilical cord
Connection lost
Usurpation of motherhood
A cocktail of amniotic fluids is pouring down the operational table

Deprived of lust and sexual desire
Reduced to fertile breeding machines
Inseminated with the fruit of the privileged
To carry on their genes
A sick and twisted game
Where the profit margin is enormous
We're breeding humans
Capitalism in high performance
Detached from the umbilical cord
Connection lost
Usurpation of motherhood by patriarchal loopholes
Curated by unconcerned and apathetic assholes
Assholes
In regulations that protect business interest, not people
The female body used as a vessel
Half of the births end lethal

Blind eye of the law
No time to pity the nameless Jane Doe

Usurping motherhood

Unethical, industrialisation of the uterus
Utilised, maximum effectivity desired
Unethical, uterus industrialised
Usurpation of motherhood
Another uterus industrialised

04. Self Inflicted Violence

Do you ever look in the mirror and don't recognise yourself?
I stare into my eyes and they don't stare back at me
Who are you? Who lives in this body that I tried to escape for so long?
They say you realise what you had when it's already gone

Screaming in silence, indulging in pain
Is this I, or am I going insane?

Forcing needles down my throat, internal bleeding
Is this reality or am I only dreaming?
Etched by the eternal tears of sadness
My face feels sticky as my flesh disintegrates
Who ought to save me from this madness?
A cry of anguish resonates as I dissipate

I'm forcing needles down my throat
But I feel numb and I want to hurt again

Remember the little knife you gave me to protect myself?
It's cutting up my stomach before I stick it in my leg
My wounds are oozing woe but I feel nothing instead
Time to move on, we have no time to wallow in regret
It's all in my head

Screaming in silence, indulging in pain
Is this I, or am I going insane?

I don't remember the last time I felt happy
Maybe I was born with the urge to dwell in pain
I take the pill that promised to lift the sorrow

But I feel numb and I want to hurt again
I want to hurt again
I'm forcing needles down my throat, feel numb
I'm forcing needles down my throat, feel numb

05. Deva's Enemy

[Instrumental]

06. Asura's Realm

Defined by status and prosperity
Consumed by rivalry
Absorbed and digested

Desperate measures in times of despair
The elite conducting psychological warfare
Fabrication of scapegoats to lure the prey
Infiltrating the parliament on Election Day
Dissemination of propaganda subsidised by corporations
The poor selling their soul to serve those in control
Xenophobia institutionalised on behalf of democracy

Defined by status and prosperity
Consumed by rivalry
Absorbed and digested
Human dignity reduced to misery

Easy answers to difficult questions
Divided and conquered in the name of freedom
A mechanism that breeds contradictions
A false and ill-conceived design
Terror reigns
Lifeless bodies scattered on the streets
A season of violence is exploiting the weakness
Revolt, resist, destroy the rich
Ability of free thought depleted
Like animals, driven by their instinct
Revolt, resist, destroy the rich
Revolt, resist, destroy the rich

Exercise of power
Indomitable thirst for sadistic torture
Population control in the hand of executive forces
Indoctrinated, tormented, beaten to death
Fear feeding fear, conform, survive

Lives erased for wealth and greed
Bringing the end to the human breed
Revolt, resist, destroy the rich
Revolt, resist, destroy the rich
Revolt, resist, destroy the rich

07. Sadistic Rituals

Angels targeted and shot from the sky
Served as source of narcissistic supply
Lured in by promises and pathological lies

Idolise, devalue, discard
I carve your name into my chest
Feed love and empathy upon my breast

Enlightened by false hope and pathological lies
Smothered with romance and sweet lullabies
With their wings cut angels can't fly
Drained of sweet nectar and left to die
Soaked in ethanol, preserved like trophies

Idolise, devalue, discard
I carve your name into my chest
Feed love and empathy upon my breast

Lured in by promises of a better tomorrow
Drugged with emotions, like a cocaine blow
You sucked the life out of magnificence

I carve your name into my chest
Feed love and empathy upon my breast
Enlightened by false hope and pathological lies

Idolise, devalue, discard
Feed love and empathy

08. Implementing The Metaphysics Of Morals

Judge, jury, trial and error
Under the cloak of privilege
Corruption sets the sentence

Avenged by decency
Lies upon lies, carefully planted
The survivor devalued, damaged and broken
Corruption, your system is failing
Traumatised, the silence of justice is deafening
Anxiety, overcoming with a feeling of impuissance
Isolation, healing process denied by societal norm interference

Shamelessness in the delight of suffering
Your justice is blind, mindless and heartless
In a courtroom where money can buy freedom
The offender runs free
After all, "20 minutes of action"
Is not worth the dignity of the victim
Failed by judiciary, rights non-existent
Retribution, severe disappointment feeding hostility
Justice deserved

Implementing the metaphysics of morals
Impaled by the sword of power
Your blood is gracefully dripping
Onto the face of Justice
While she raises her arm in victory
You finally get what you deserve
Suppression, fragments of memory triggered by the enemy
Justice served
Poignant grief provokes aggression
Inspired by a brutalised instinct of survival
No mercy granted for those who don't feel compassion
Overpowering thoughts, homicidal
Assassination. This is the end of ignorance
Judgment day, bearing the fruit of consequence
Traumatised, anxiety, isolation
Retribution, corruption, suppression
Implementing the metaphysics of morals
Assassination, this is the end of ignorance
Judgement day
Bearing the fruit of consequence

Ritual torment to the guilty
Blood must flow
For the scars remaining on her soul
Inflicted by ignorance
Testicles weighed on the scales of justice
Irrelevance, electro-mechanically coupled with abhorrent decadence
The apparatus of intimidation disarmed
A glimpse of death, all power in her hands
Whipped in torment, see the end of heaven and the rise of hell
Suffering perpetual damnation, pathetic existence

09. Dukkha

Devoured by light
Succumbed to darkness
I lie awake at night
And sleep all day
With my eyes open
Drawing nails into my veins
To end the pain of desolation
Vision blurred, a feeling of relief induced
Deep extasis caused by physically inflicted sensation
Drawing nails into my veins
To end the pain of desolation
Captivated by void
I pass through lifelessness
Illusions merge
With the gloom of my reality

Like a parasite
Anxiety manifests itself
Within my physicality
Muscular tensions
Like electric shocks in my brain
In this dark abyss of pain
I decompose

Staring through the mist
I ask myself, is there a way out?

Samsara, Samsara, Samsara
Suffering, suffering, suffering

I am a burden to myself
Condemned to nothingness
I'm slowly peeling off my skin
Inch by inch
Hung up on a rusty hook
I see the reflection of my weakness
Ugliness inside and out
Tortured existence
I wish to be dead

10. Naraka

Nausea, tremors, paralysis, hallucination
Buried alive, I feel the pressure on my chest
I have difficulty breathing
As my lungs collapse
Worthless, failed, forgotten
This body is a prison for my consciousness
Where I will rot and die a wretched death
The sickening nature of reality unfolds

In total darkness I shall walk
No light, no guidance
My companion is self-doubt

The path is long and the weight is getting heavy on my bones
Mind wandering
With every step I diverge from my physical self

I want to feel the pain that lingers
Razors slashing through my wrists
A rusty knife separates the tips from my fingers
Lying in a pool of blood
Castigated, scarified, humiliated
Whipped by the flames with memories
I smell the burning of my flesh
It's not my fault
It's you who violated me that night time and time again

Whipped by the flames with memories
I smell the burning of my flesh
Illusions of happiness disintegrate
Sanity shattered, ruined forever
Vivid dreams of hands dragging me

Into my own inferno
Crumbled to ashes
Vanished to void
Absorbed by the atmosphere

Enamoured by Death
I'm not afraid to take my final breath
Penetrating, repressing thoughts of suicide
The cold lips of the reaper taste like cyanide
Razors slashing through my wrists
A knife separates the tips from my fingers
Lying in a pool of blood, the emptiness persists

Sanity shattered, ruined forever
Vivid dreams of hands dragging me
Into my own inferno
Crumbled to ashes
Vanished to void
Absorbed by the atmosphere
