BENEATH THE PYRAMIDS THEY DWELL
SERVANTS TO THE KING OF THIS LAND
THE CEREMONY HAS BEGUN
THEY MARCH
HYPNOTIZED TO THE BEATING OF DRUMS
ROTTING CHIMAERAS GENUFLECT BEFORE HIM
CREATURES COMPOSED OF HUMAN FLESH
AND THE HIDE OF BEAST
LEAD ME TO THE ALTAR
THROWN TO THE GROUND
I LAY BESIDE THE KING
WITH ARMS OUTSTRETCHED
HE CHANTS UTTERANCES
ALIEN TO MY COMPREHENSION
INTO THE PIT BEFORE HIS FEET
WITH A STIFF COLD FINGER
HE SIGNALS THE BEAST
POINTING FIRST TO ME
THEN THE PIT BEYOND
WITHOUT HESITATION
THE MINIONS VIOLENTLY DISLODGE MY LIMBS
FIRST MY LEGS, THEN MY ARMS
ARE CAST
INTO THE PIT
CESSATION OF LIFE SEEMS NEAR
CESSATION OF LIFE
MY EYES NOW GAZE UPON WHAT MAY BE
THE LAST SCENE WHICH I EVER BEHOLD
FROM THE PIT IT EMERGES
MOUTH SALIVATING
THE FIVE-HEADED BEAST
THE BEAST WHICH THEY WORSHIP
I KNOW THIS NOW TO BE MY END
I HAVE BECOME FEED FOR THEIR GOD

That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
