ex oblivione

Lyrics: NECRONOMIDOL
Music: OKAYAN(ドリルパープル)

Based on the 1920/21 prose poem of the same name by H.P. Lovecraft. The basic sentiment of the work is that nothingness is preferable to life. Ricky told me:

“I really like how at the end of the HPL piece the protagonist finds complete nihil at the end of his quest (as expected) but then ends up embracing it over “the daemon Life”.  So, basically, the song is a reflection of the freedom granted by choosing existential nothingness.”

ex oblivione

In the dead of the night
Holding tight to this dream
A sky of radiant nothingness

Haunting the graveyard
Eyes shut to all light
Voices from the other side calling forth

Rend asunder
These chains of the mundane
For the void awaiting
Beyond the gate

ex oblivione
Out of the gloom

Praying for an eternity ephemeral

ex oblivione
Into nihil

My flesh evaporating like the fog

ex oblivione

These telling scars
The pity of this fallen world
All to become odious memories

Break down the walls
Of this fortress of lamentation
Holding tight to this desire
As we ascend heavenward

ex oblivione
Out of the gloom

Praying for an eternity ephemeral

ex oblivione
Into nihil

My flesh evaporating like the fog

ex oblivione

ex oblivione
Out of the gloom

Praying for an eternity ephemeral

ex oblivione
Out of the gloom

Praying for an eternity ephemeral

ex oblivione
Into nihil

My flesh evaporating like the fog

ex oblivione
