Setheus lyrics (dance, review, memories, band, song)

I would really appreciate any feedback on these lyrics. I am fascinated by humanity and anything to do with theology, philospohy, spiritualism, religion, consciousness, enlightenment, free will...

Have a read and tell me what you think. You can click the link in my signature to hear them in the context of the music.

Death by Degeneracy

This rotting diseased semblance of soul
has been forced onto me
immuring my reason
bound in fetters of body and mind unsound
such misery

my sanity
is my humanity

cruelly tortured by disability
slowly eating through my identity

images fade away
memories to this day
all that I am will be forgotten

returning me to infancy
crawling through the morass of senility
withered within my decrepit dysfunctional shell
expelling my dignity

knowing not pain nor guilt
devolved to a life benighted of suffering and sin
an innocent state of cognizance inchoate
untouched by fear and hate

time unforgivingly despoils my legacy

growing inside of me
this thing I cannot see
feasts on the flesh within
devouring all sanity
stripping my senses blind
life of dependency
cold stare of absent mind
death by degeneracy

truth apprise me
why must we suffer youth's demise?
euthanize my humiliation
hold me inside

The Spiritual Usurper

Fleeting through the airy region
stealing through the night
dark winds grazing population
reap ill-deserved sight
freed from banal expression
by pre-mortem exhumation
soul direction freely torn
from inert exploration

feeding life's blood flowing
breathing beating slowing
mind's eye blurring
madness stirring fear
stealing from you control
overtake your soul
ascending to see
destined to be set free

these hollow borrowed eyes
of windowless sequestered souls
satisfying the erotic this transient chaotic
forced symbiosis appropriation
mindless faces worn and discarded
vacuous husks of wills ill guarded
the spiritual usurper claims you all

bereft of sense in wandering ill intent
these drifting shells lie broken and spent
on remorseless lives I prey and thrive
their meaninglessness I despise
in severed corporeality I derive
oneness within by each who dies

viscous swollen egos so sweet in conceit
vainglory like wine with vanity's meat
complacency bids these sapless vessels fold
black fog therein imbibes what life they hold
spilling, consuming viscera of the mind
the soul abortifacient consumes mankind

this torrid spiral ride of your life
a turn for the worst on my twisting knife
with steps cloven your path is chosen
your destiny dispels in the night
future lost with absence forsaken
begotten of filth and liberties taken
amidst remorseless dark deeds done
the spiritual usurper fears no one

sentenced to drift eternal
twixt airy region and the infernal
incorporeal purgatory
never to feel again
silence belies your harrowing cries
tempus fugit your family dies
but first you watch your beloved's trust
slake the spiritual usurper's lust

senses seared and skinless
numb through pain in cinders
petrifying touch
muted all around you
phasing sounds of too
unnerving quietude
clouded visions seeping
through consciousness sleeping
crawling up your spine
entering your mind
the spiritual parasite

writhing corpses lithe in death
I pull at their strings these marionettes
and their bodies devoid dance to me

I assume your band has the total package for this kind of music and I'd say lyrics included. I haven't heard the music but based on your friends responses I'd say there's no reason why you should waste your time here.

In my opinion, there is nothing spectacular about these lyrics. They do what they're supposed to. Nothing more, nothing less. If you're looking for something more in-depth I can't help you but I can recommend another site where I think you might find one or more people who might be interested:

It's also generally a good idea to review others before posting your own work no matter what site you're on, especially when you're trying to cram in more than one song at a time.
