Iniquity - Border Into Shadow lyrics

[Lyrics: Haarlov/Fagerlind]

Viral affliction racing in my veins

Bloated heart pumps black clotted blood

Swirling darkness is all I see

Living death sustained through chemotherapy

Supine and shrunken, outshined by disease

As shadows weave athwart my eyes

Grim destiny flails perniciously

Rot away in languished dormancy

As I border into shadow

Supine and shrunken, outshined by disease

As shadows weave athwart my eyes

Grim destiny flails perniciously

Rot away in languished dormancy

Eyes drown in the seas of the past

Forgotten lore of surviving time

Spine on the verge of permanent collapse

Left to die in desolation

Skin contracts with desperation

Eyes gaze fiercely into death

Succumb to the struggle for breath

Dead mouth, dry and cold

Face decayed as cancer unfolds

Sight blurred by contagious flow

The veins inert, livor mortified glow

Intubations and nasal piping squeaks

Gastric spew meets the teeth, frothy flow

Ballistic heart is counting down as pupils peak

Seizure turns into convulsive vertigo

Battle tires out

As cancer eats away

Chronic illness swallows up

Slow release from the bones decay

Mind's a turmoil

Inside a cankered husk

Losing the grip

Transcend into dusk

Supine and shrunken, outshined by disease

As shadows weave athwart my eyes

Grim destiny flails in victory

Rot away in languished dormancy
