Layers earth 'neath golden feathers
witness change perpetual
the fossils grow embraced by stone
solidified and eternal

The times they are decaying!
The times they are…
The times they are…
The times they are…
decaying!

The voices of the void
command the muting of the mutants
suffocated by time's passing
and stagnating ignorance

Actions of the wicked
are remembered evermore
and atrocified each atom
burnt and branded to the core

All senses shall be guided
to a maddening confusion
immersed in a miasma
of a torturous illusion

The times they are decaying!
The times they are decaying!
The times they are decaying!

The struggle 'gainst unwordly platitudes
and vile mindcrimes
trapped in the vicious cycle
hidden 'neath the veil of times

Behold the bones and touch the abyss
guided by decay
gaze into it and be gazed at
enwrapped in sheets of clay (x2)

The times they are decaying! (x5)

Caressing jagged teeth
and clutching, clutching at the straws
the flesh soon to be vapourised
subject to nature's laws

The body slowly vanished
save the feathers of the soul
beneath the orange glow of dusk
we witness change perpetual

The times
they are
decaying!
