Meshuggah Perpetual Black Second Lyrics

Perpetual Black Second Lyrics


Music: Marten Hagstrom
Lyrics: Tomas Haake

Trapped in a ceaseless
fever of spite,
an unending fit of resentment and anger
Caught in a
moment of unforgiveness
In the snapshot of a hate filled second

The
speechless flickering of uncomprehending eyes
-Dilated in disbelief
Your
vacant gaze distorted
Twisted in its accusing glare

Teeth glimmering
in emotional rage
Spit of hate suspended in mid-air
Bodies strained in
fury
Devoured by jaws of despair

One single image frame I wish to
forget
now replayed in succession of millions
The one second I will
always regret
-My hell found in its reiteration

Held within the
visualization,
the continuous rerun of my own violence
A fraction of time
perpetuated
By my regretful soul animated

Please forgive the evil in
me - The darkness within
Ferocious, inherent demon. Adrenaline gland
resident

Threatened subconscious snake. Repressed into
striking
coil
Surfacing that black second. Ascending with the boil
