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 volcano is death, the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death, the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life 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 serpent is death, the serpent is death The serpent is life, the serpent is life The serpent is death, the serpent is death The serpent is life, the serpent 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 head is death, the tail is death The head is life, the tail is life The head is death, the tail is death The head is life, the tail is life The head is death, the tail is death The head is life, the tail is life The volcano is death (lava), the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death (lava), the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death (lava), the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death (lava), the lava is death Death is life, the lava is life The volcano is death (lava) (Death) (Lava) (Death)
