With blood and sinew
I fed my ambition
Lives cut short to sate my curious mind
For years in exile, now back on a mission
Save these souls from demise

A sickness borne of wonder
Silent bane
Conjuring the cure to ascend

I'm lost in the fires of a need
To perfect that which can bleed
Death and life, a brand new creed
This is our destiny

While down in caverns my enemies wither
My new home is within reach
Living machines and a throne that is vacant

A paradise bids welcome
Bound to me
Now perfection lies in my grasp

I'm lost in the fires of a need
To perfect that which can bleed
Death and life, a brand new creed

Corrupted, Constructed

Now live, in this world where weakness wanes
As your God runs through your veins
Born again in boundless oil
Forsake this mortal coil

Ascending ever higher
Now oil replaces blood
A cure to death by twisting life
Indomitable flood

I'm lost in the fires of a need
To perfect that which can bleed
Neither living nor machine

I'm lost in the fires of a need
To perfect that which can bleed
Death and life, a brand new creed

Dissected, Perfected

Now live, in this world where weakness wanes
As your God runs through your veins
Now the gate is open wide
Beware the promised lie
