Devoured by Design

With an invocation
Of a great expanse
There is tyranny in time
All within the ancient
And before the flesh
Is a hunger serpentine
In everything it claims
Predestined to decay
In slaughter we’re defined
Devoured by design
And the only power
Was a storm of wrath
A possession to entwine
Ever bound in cycle
Before it began
We were dead before the vine
In everything it claims
Predestined to decay
In slaughter we’re defined
Devoured by design
