Deathspell Omega - Eadem Sed Aliter Lyrics

Carrion beetles pouring from his mouth:
I have devised a new light
That burns brighter above all others
I have risen towers, structures of such magnitude
That even the mountains pale with envy
I have made myself the greatest of all gods
And everything living now bends to my will

You are indeed the king of kings
May the greatness of your deeds be bestowed upon you
You have ploughed the soil and left it poisoned
Eadem, sed aliter
So, the fruits of the earth turn to blight in your mouth
And your crops are a slow and tasteless poison

The air was the sweetest of all earthly delights,
But now the fumes of your creations smother the skies
And the stars are all but forgotten
So, your breath will serve you pestilence
And turn your lungs into peat

The bones of the earth you have broken
You melted the marvels of the depths
Forging leashes of silver and gold
So, now your own bones will be broken
And their flesh melted off

Carrion beetles pouring from his mouth:
But isn't strife the core of existence?
And progress the arkhè of our lives?
I won this world with sword and fire
And carved it to my image
My claim to the throne is just

You have devised a new light
And your eyes will see no further
You have risen towers
For a one long fall downwards

You made a desert and called it peace
So, rest assured, your claim will be processed justly
And the greatness of your deeds bestowed upon you
