Music : Phil Tougas
Lyrics : David AB
Composed in late 2009 & early 2010
Lyrics
Dun gouffre inassouvissable, son panthéon
La facette de sa quête, son opposition
Du haut de son morbide trône dextravagance
Exploitant et fusionnant la véhémence
Incommensurable appétit
Indomptable être dépéri
Ancré dans la prédation
Emporté dans la dépravation
Du haut de sa vanité
À la vitesse de sa montée
Il sombra dans la cupidité
Survolant les acres dobsolescence
Hantant les seuils dinnocence
Puisant lâme dans laffaiblissement, traîné par les extirpeurs
Physiquement traité devant limmonde, lexhumation dite en torpeur
Inculqué à la quête du festin propice
À lassaut des chemins, propulsé au fond du précipice
Enfermé dans linsanité jen fus enclin à basculer
Déchiqueté et éparpillé, jen fus reconstitué
Lhypotésance de lâme
Linassouvissable soif du manque, le perforant
Linertie innondante linfinitésimalité de sa masse hideuse
Catalysant linfection de sa faim
La faisant grandir de jour en jour
Gloutonnerie étant devenue monnaie courante
Gloutonnerie étant devenue fontaine de jouvence
Gula sappropria larborescence de cette existence
Puis Gula se retrouva devant le trépas et devant sa fin se leva
Implorant sa mort par lingérence de son confort
Il en démontra que lexcentricité de sa panse
Combattant le feu par le feu
Son impitoyable règne, je le pourfendrai
Sa gargantuesque injustice, je la détruirai
Solo 1 : Collin McGee (Elderoth)
Solo 2 : Phil Tougas
Solo 3 : Collin
Solo 4 : Phil Tougas
Solo 5 : Collin
Solo 6: Phil Tougas
Solo 7 : Collin
Solo 8 : Phil Tougas
Solo 9 & layers : Phil Tougas
Dun gouffre, inassouvissable
Atteingnant la cime quen extirpant linsaisissable
Dans les panthéons de la possession
Sen gavant de lopposition
Du haut de son morbide trône dextravagance
Fusionnant et exploitant la véhémence
Incommensurable appétit
Indomptable être dépérit
Ancré dans la prédation
Emporté dans la dépravation
Du haut de sa vanité
À la vitesse de sa montée, il sombrera dans la cupidité
