Lyrics
''All my atrocities, come by way of reciprocity. (1st line is this line played backward)''

I'm chewing the bones of my own reprieve

Death be my dignity, execute hemlock philosophy

Poison fills the cup of the carpenter

NO!

Love lost on me

MORE!

Life so costly

No reason

For grieving

No

LOVE LOST ON ME!

More

LIFE SO COSTLY!

Bring me down

WITH 7.62 HIGH VELOCITY!

I can see them everywhere

EVERYWHERE!

They're all around me

They're waiting for me

AAAAGH!

Descending, unrelenting

Beauty of Annihilation

SHUT UP!

Your curiosity

Feeding off my animosity

And Reason - is treason

DOWN WITH ALL THAT'S GOOD AND CLEAN, YOU CAN'T FUCKING ANNIHILATE ME!

Bring you down

WITH 7.92 AND NO IMPUNITY!!!!

I can see them everywhere

EVERYWHERE!

They're all around me

They're waiting for me

AAAAGH!

Descending, unrelenting

Beauty of Annihilation

Annihilation, annihilation, annihilation, oooooooh...

Death so beautiful

Looks so beautiful

Death so beautiful

Looks so beautiful on me

I can see them everywhere

EVERYWHERE!

I can see them everywhere I go

I can see them everywhere

They're all around me

They're waiting for me

WAITING FOR ME!

I can see them everywhere

Oh well it's so beautiful

I can see them everywhere I go!

I can see them everywhere

They're all around me

They're waiting for me

GET BACK!

Descending, Unrelenting

Beauty of Annihilation

AAAAGH!

Looks like your prophet was mistaken 

AAAAGH!

Is life really gone or just been wasted?

DEATH'S SO CLOSE THAT I CAN TASTE IT!

 * Line 2: I'm chewing the bones of my own reprieve (Edward Richtofen) is a reference about him helping create the zombies and hell hounds at Der Riese and now going back there to help fight them.
 * Line 3: Death, be my dignity execute hemlock philosophy (Takeo Masaki) the Japanese army in World War 2 felt that surrender was never an option so they often committed honorable suicide and banzai charged in the face of defeat which references in the line "death be my dignity".
