Hedonistic Pain Ritual Lyrics

Writhe under the lash of submission
For dreams are too short
To compare with this rapture
Stretching into an infinity of blessed torment

The eightfold mark I wear...
Realisation through abasement...

Smeared with the clotted blood of abandonment

What was reality compared with this rapture?

Sinful mask I wear, flesh to tear

Hedonistic pain ritual
Sacrosanct perversion

Black dream of violence
Flesh falls to rapture in hell

Ascend to permission
Wear their mark upon your skin
All things are permitted
Under the law of rapture made flesh

Hedonistic pain ritual
Glorified in torment

In pain the limits of flesh transcend
Borne on wings of torment

The eightfold mark I wear
Flesh to dust...

Hedonistic pain ritual
Sacrosanct perversion
