lyrics

Weaving through every life an unforgiving yarn
Its tendrils wrapping and coiling, seizing all in its path
A fabric dark, bereft of any inclination of hope
A string of woes and depression always looking to imprint

The shuttle dancing across our lives, picking away, turning us inside out, raising up from our depths the monsters laying in darkness
The warp and weft of our many states, a constant flux between health and disease, uprooting and removing all sense of equilibrium

I watch – I sew demise
I ruin all lives – I the loom weaver

Presiding over your life as if threading destiny, a crafting demiurge of negativity, a seamstress of only wicked cloth
Following schemata made only to damn, a blueprint for misery and anguish, it weaves stress into the flesh, branding us with its mission
Tireless it feeds the machine, each strand a day, each pattern a life to curse
With every pass we are battened down by disappointment and tragedy, removing our lofty ambitions and miring us in defeat

We cannot escape this crippling tapestry
Our lives will always be woven in misery
We are forever intertwined in its gloom
Our being the unending thread to its loom

Tangled within its creation we are held prisoner to its desire - its need to blight life
Weaving, looping us back and forth it toys with our triumphs and agonies, delights in our strain
Stitched into this lived textile hell; we enslaved to its chosen patterning, a device of fate
The loom weaver our demon of demise
