Becoming the Lycanthrope - Lyrics - Ulcerate

Auckland, New Zealand-based unorthodox death metal act Ulcerate was formed by guitarist Michael Hoggard and drummer Jamie Saint Merat in 2000 with the aim of creating, dark oppressive death metal. This focus has since developed and metamorphosed into a far more dynamic approach with a fully realised sense of atmosphere and mood, while furthering their foray into the darker end of the genreâs spectrum.

Revelation or annihilation The futile and the fanatics That is all we are With scalpel incisions and flapping tongues Bury the limbs of the hopeless Clambering onto the funeral pyre, overwhelmed Sacrifice and sedition Let the ashes of our cancer rise To be inhaled by the congregation Carry your doctrine into the flames Or swallow it whole and exit the wake As the smoke blackens the horizon Revel in your decision (delusion) As the inferno turns to embers Breathe in the essence of despair *** on the ash and the bones of the dead Laugh and rejoice as the black turns blood red But your carnivorous smile betrays Revealing the teeth that will devour us all A grin to mark the end of days
