Meshuggah Stengah [Live] lyrics

Lacerating pains of degeneration
Speed through your trembling mind
Still in machine like strife
You gain another mile

The temporary elusive goal
To reach the solace, to feed once more
Upon the synthetic reaper of loss
No matter the outcome, the cost

Cold and stinging needs
Tearing through the halls
Of your defiled, flesh made temple
With its closing walls

Still you claim the worshiper's pose
And you bow, you kneel

Control once superior
Now a docile pet at chaos' feet
Pulling the leash as it trails the scent
To where all hurt recedes

Your past, a blurry patch in mind

Your future once, now thin dreams filed
Toward the lights of need you strive
To drink into your vein the shine

Beaten to the unforgiving ground
Lashed into submission
By the inner starving demon
By its unrelenting hand

Still you claim the worshiper's pose
And you bow, you kneel to the syringe

Answering only to authorities of sedation
Their calls, the only ones heeded
A worn out soldier touched by their contagion
A battered drone at their feet

You're the one betrayed
An outcast set afire by your inner war
Your burning self so far astray
A combustion fanned from within your core
