Lyrics:

-The Beginning of Late-Stage Decline:

[Verse 1]

I have forgotten who my family members are
My son, a stranger in my home
My daughter, I confuse for my sister

[Verse 2]

I roam my house, once familiar now a maze
My food, a burning mess somehow ended up in the dryer
THE FINAL CHAPTER BEFORE DEATH'S SWEET EMBRACE

-Corruption:

[Verse 1]
Shadows feast on memories
Fragments fall like brittle leaves
Faces blur, Their names untold
Crumbling halls of the mind’s dark folds
Forgotten thrones Where kings bled
A palace dead inside my head
Who am I? Who were they?
Time devours, I decay
An era lost, A shell of self
Jagged and cruel, what is this hell?
Phantom hands, Unknown faces
Words dissolve, time erases
The world I knew rips apart
Dementia strikes without regard
Names vanish into endless grey
My mind undone, my brain decays

[Prechorus]
Distorted voices — who are they?
A chaotic storm
I fade away

[Chorus]
Corruption of the mind!
Rotten roots entwine!
The mirror lies
Memory has died

[Verse 2]
Echoes haunt the corridors
Life’s great battles now war of lore
Pictures fade to blackened glass
Time slips by too fast
Who am I? The question burns
I unlearn as the world turns
Forgotten fragments scatter
My soul adrift as hearts shatter
The self erased, a heavy cost
A faint glow in the void lost
Who was I? I do not know
A ghostly trace, the abyss grows
Hand extends but I can't recall
Who it belongs to, then it's gone
A fleeting moment of hope
Through the realm of terror I roam

[Prechorus]
Questions rise, But answers die
A hollow scream
A fractured scene

[Chorus]
Corruption of the mind!
Rotten roots entwine!
The mirror lies
Memory has died

[Verse 3]
Shadows creep, Memories fracture
Splinters of time abyss captured
Whispers echo, names forgotten
This flesh cage, from inside rotten
I am no one, I am none
I am withdrawn, my life is done
Echoes linger in empty space
House of horror, what is this place?
Memories drain into the void
Identity now destroyed
Eyes filled with confused fear
Lost to time, don't know the year
Mind in shreds, senses torn
Songs of love a flowless roar
Slow decline, reality raped
No escape from internal maze

[Bridge]

Realm of terror, Endless night
Fragments fall, Devoured by blight
What am I? A fleeting ghost
Time a venom, death comes forth

[Prechorus]
Who am I? Who was I?
Fading, Falling
I must die

[Chorus]
Corruption of the mind!
Rotten roots entwine!
The mirror lies
Memory has died
I am no one
I am none!
