Ibaraki - Tamashii No Houkai

Fever has boiled inside the lecherous growth
Exposing the teeth from which a chasm will be bored
Pulling apart the flesh, with forcible scorn
Only through torment and pain can love be adorned

With this fang, I want to feast on misery
With this fang: drenched in discharge, tangled in vein

Sickness, take me by the hand
Nurture that which I can't understand

With this fang, obstruct the entryways: the gates

Sickness, take me by the hand
Nurture that which I can't understand
Feed me from your malformed chest

In full awareness, in consciousness of this process
Through no joy, or affection, or emotion will this be conducted
Not only the shell, but also the pearl must be broken
The soul awoken; through fear and hurt and depredation

With this fang; disgorge the part of me I hate
Sickness, take me by the hand
Nurture that which I can't understand
Feed me from your malformed chest

Still - I starve for something more
The desecration of something adored
Sickness, secrete and release the soul

Relinquishment
Cave in to control

Guitar Solo: Ihsahn

Sickness, take me by the hand
Nurture that which I can't understand
Feed me from your malformed chest

Still - I starve for something more
The desecration of something adored
Sickness, secrete and release the soul

Expelled from the void

It's not a wound or a death that's desired
Just a thirst for the ability to smolder a fire
How I regret, and repress, and regret
But this hunger consumes me and drowns me in its mire

Fever has boiled inside the lecherous growth
Exposing the teeth from which a chasm will be bored
Pulling apart the flesh, with forcible scorn
Only through torment and pain can love be adorned
