Dehydrate - Rivers of Nihil

The sanctity of life is a lie

You merely choose to become bound

By believing that the sun will one day come down

You are dust and nothing else

You are the pile of salt you were always meant to be

The holy admonished melts away

Into the unsinking sun I gaze as I wither away

As reparation for commencing union

I give myself unto the sand and become unseen

I am dust and nothing else

I am the pile of salt my body was always meant to be

A part of the world that destroys me

Colors burst from beneath my skin

The serpent crawls from within

Spreading the ash of my remains

The gentle winds caress an otherwise empty plain

Into the undefinable space between

Life and what is beyond it seems

Perhaps a soul shall venture forth

Discovering the real amidst the lie

I am dust and nothing else

I am the pile of salt my body was always meant to be

A part of the world that destroys me
