Second Death
Abysmal Torment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Congregating beneath the inscription of the condemned
Perpetually consuming the inbound damned
Spattered in carnage upon immortal pillars of immure
Gored in atrocious torment for the wicked to endure
Gouged in stare upon expressions of the desecrate
Scalding flesh decompose inducing eternal pain
Fiendishly stampeded through the mouth of kismet
Embrace the second death
There is no coming back
From this realm of wretchedness
There is no turning back
Ye who outlast the second death
Retribution urged on my exalted creator
I am a creature of the holiest supremacy
Nothing was made before me
Only eternal beings
And I endure eternally
Through me the way that runs amongst the lost souls
Through me the way to everlasting agony
Compelled into blistering fumes of death
Endure the second death
There is no coming back
From this realm of wretchedness
There is no turning back
Ye who outlast the second (second) death
Here pity only lives when it is dead
Through me the way that runs amongst the lost souls
Through me the way to everlasting agony
Endure the second death

Those who survive the second death
Retribution urged on my exalted creator
My supreme creator demands revenge
I am a creature of the holiest supremacy
I am a being of the highest power
Nothing was made before me
No creation was formed before me
Only eternal beings
Only everlasting creatures
And I endure eternally
And I last forever
Compelled into blistering fumes of death
Forced into suffocating plumes of demise
Here pity only lives when it is dead
Mercy only exists when it is nonexistent
