Inferi - The Ophidian Form lyrics

Banished from Elysium, a deity has been dethroned Cast into the unknown Scouring the wasteland, forced to fend for his own Stripped from his sovereignty Now an outcast, an enemy in exile for eternity As he leads the pariahs further into the abyss of heresy Vile acts of betrayal brands a stigma on his soul To wallow in filth, never His pride to great for sickness and woe His enemy's extinction is undeniable In solitude his fury grows with a vengeance His constriction on hate seeps from his veins Like venom embraced by coils of contempt The enraged mastermind will now stop at nothing To breach the gates of Elysium (Lead: M. Pugh) Deception is his contrivance He takes on the ophidian form To manipulate and regulate his children From the viper born His army of anathema, bound by his will His ethos begets them to k** (Lead: M. Low) Benighted with shame his destiny To roam the earth he is bound To lead the abominations astray On his quest to reclaim the crown The horde of minions fulfill his intent Of total annihilation and help him invent The means to travel through space and time Conquer and vanquish his nemesis the pure and divine Fueled by the strength of his effigy Reflections of his treachery combined Festers like carrion inside of his mind Reprisal by indoctrination Augmented with animus
