Death
Smells like boiled eggs
Death
A hot stove glowing red
Lava
Sticky like peanut butter
Lava
The ultimate stonecutter

Anointed in the bubbling lake
Charring lungs asphyxiate
Unlike quicksand it's instant
Devours whole
No longer existent
Pumice rain engulfs
A mushroom cloud brings tumult
Remains are shells
Rain won't quell
Earth is hell

Burning flesh and melting skin
I submit to the molten king
The messiah deep below
Give my essence to the afterglow
There I'll speak to the magma lord
And bathe in the warmth of the red fjord
Past this life of green meadows
Lava afterlife in charred plateaus

The volcano is death
The lava is death
Death is life
The lava is life

The serpent is death
The serpent is death
The serpent is life
The serpent is life

The head is death
The tail is death
The head is life
The tail is life

The volcano is death
The lava is death
Death is life
The lava is life

The volcano is death
Death
Lava
Death
