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 nothingnessHaunting the graveyard
Eyes shut to all light
Voices from the other side calling forthRend asunder
These chains of the mundane
For the void awaiting
Beyond the gateex oblivione
Out of the gloomPraying for an eternity ephemeral
ex oblivione
Into nihilMy flesh evaporating like the fog
ex oblivione
These telling scars
The pity of this fallen world
All to become odious memoriesBreak down the walls
Of this fortress of lamentation
Holding tight to this desire
As we ascend heavenwardex oblivione
Out of the gloomPraying for an eternity ephemeral
ex oblivione
Into nihilMy flesh evaporating like the fog
ex oblivione
ex oblivione
Out of the gloomPraying for an eternity ephemeral
ex oblivione
Out of the gloomPraying for an eternity ephemeral
ex oblivione
Into nihilMy flesh evaporating like the fog
ex oblivione
