Lyrics
Administer retribution unto me

Originating from a clan of beleaguered swine,

I want to go through emasculation

The meaning of experiencing purgatory is nil

Guess I'll reap the graveyard

These tombs can't turn yellow

Melancholia is necessary

Drugging you in your heavy sleep,

I vow to imbue you with vitality once this convulsing ends

Climbing down to the ossuary

The cartilages symbolize a perennial forefather

Black plagues come and go,

But now the latter should arise

Hardships are being forced to enter rehab

Austerity

Slash it all away

We'll thrash our way to manumission

Now we should be collars unable to be frayed

Stop the colors from waning

Blessed are the meek

Go inherit the code

Austerity

Slash it all away

We'll thrash our way to manumission

Now we should be collars unable to be frayed

Stop the colors from waning

Blessed are the meek

Go inherit the code

Austerity

Slash it all away

We'll thrash our way to manumission

Now we should be collars unable to be frayed

Stop the colors from waning

Blessed are the meek

Go inherit the code

Trauma is not a place to populate

Commercialize every single penthouse

You're hoisted by your own petard

Bend your ankles at an obtuse angle,

And now masturbate in defeatism
