twitch of the death nerve – apotropaic scarification lyrics
as a new believer arrives, the holy man dons his sacramental garments and pedagogic facade
trivial maladies are expertly woven into narratives of superstition and spurious pseudoscience, in a well+rehe+rs+d charade
the distinctions blur between naive ignorance and cynical fabrication in a triumph of wanton self+delusion
a dangerous seed is planted, growing into paranoid hysteria
senseless incantations muttered as magical runes are carved on walls to ward off imagined evil spirits
obsessive behaviour intensifies as a dependency forms, a vicious circle
the believer turns the blade towards her skin
hesitating at the first cut, wincing in pain
hacking protective symbols into her flesh, a tattoo of wounds written across the body
as infection and fever set in, a downward spiral begins
trembling hands sticky with blood, scrawl fresh lacerations
a maniacal opus of self+mutilation
she finally succumbs to blood loss and pyaemia
those seemingly innocuous remedies ending in death
the tragic tale scarified on her cadaver
