RUDIMENTARY PENI
Echoes of Anguish Lyrics

THE FLAME OF INSANITY
What is this that burns
Through every cell
And every fibre of my being?

Divine decay,
Pure and infernal,
The flame of insanity.


IN MEMORY OF PAIN
Ruthless blade of trespass
Upon soft flesh of mind.
In absence still remembered,
you will return in time


DISSOLUTION
It matters not that I did seek
To conquer Fear and vanquish Pain,
For victory belongs to Grief,
So into tears dissolve in vain.


ONLY DEATH
There is only Death.
No god,
No love,
No joy.
Only death
And the fear of it.


WOMB SO SCORNED
Bereaved of that for which I live,
You have chastised me.

Womb so scorned,
With hollow rage,
You have chastised me.


TIME PASSING
Time passing, unseen,
Heavy with mortality,
With memory and sentiment,
And fearful regret,
Bitter seed of futile fertility.


ECHO
Language of agony,
Torment in sound.
Weeping of ancestors
Formed into words.
The echo of anguish,
Primeval sorrow.
VOICE
Should I speak
Or silence keep,
Your verdict is unswayed.
Communicate
We never will,
So hatred has its way.


STONE
Fashioned from stone,
Our blood is cold,
As the lifeless rock
Through which inertia flows.


TRIAL BY SEPARATION
When we first met,
I was alone
And so were you.

When we first touched,
I was alone
And so were you.

When we first fucked,
I was alone
And so were you.

You have deserted me.
I am alone
And so are you.


FROM THE HEART
To your consent
To life or death
I will not yield,

And though you wound me,
And though I bleed,
To your heart's desire
I will not yield.


YOUR SECRET LIFE
I know all about
Your secret life,
Your feminine mystique,
Your falsity.

Your innocent promiscuity,
And your hypocritical cruelty
Hold no mystery
For me.
