[Verse 1]
Severed from the mercy of Calypso
Left to the wicked temperaments of the drift and tide
The wrath of which doth thrash and fuck
Bringing low the fevered and the wretched
[Chorus]
Those brought ill by the weight of their indulgences
Now must stare into the vortex
Sallow, haunted fiends
That stare into the vortex
[Verse 2]
Warned by the sickening glow of the vermillion stone
And the deepening ochre in the whispering skies
Marooned in the unlitten gulf
Where neither Qlipha nor Sephira anchor my heart
[Chorus]
All those so abandoned
Must too stare into the vortex
All those sunken and accursed
Must stare into the vortex
[Verse 3]
Ululant wraith, envenomed by the atrocities of my kin
Withholds the cairn's true purpose
The howls of great hounds
Eulogize the birthright of mankind
[Chorus]
Those brought ill by the weight of their indulgences
Must stare into the vortex
Sallow, haunted fiends
That stare into the vortex
[Post-Chorus]
Stair into the vortex
[Outro]
Stair, stair into the vortex
Stair, stair into the vortex
Stair, stair into the vortex
Stair, stair into the vortex
