The Offering - Sleep Token

My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Oh Evoked and entertained through centuries Wrathful and sullen, dormant still The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastards, sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Reconcile not with the fear of the snake But embrace it as your own Inject its venom into your veins And replant the seed that gives growth Still shrouded in mystery Until you arise above perception A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout generations (A veil of ignorance is in motion) (Continuing throughout multiple generations) (Let me be the one that delivers you from the deceit) (And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature) The snake is notoriously tempting But the snake is fair What is worse than not knowing? To live or disappear? The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastards, sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice
