From Flesh to Oblivion by Obituary Pending
From Flesh to Oblivion
Intro
Bones rattle beneath the blackened sky,
(Flesh dissolves where shadows lie.)
Whispers crawl from tomb to throne,
(A kingdom built from blood and bone.)
Verse 1
We walked the edge of a broken world,
(Where flags of rot and fire unfurled.)
Veins of iron, hearts of clay,
(Souls auctioned off to disarray.)
We prayed to demons in daylight’s glow,
(Learned the shape of fear we’d never know.)
Every step carved into stone,
(Every scream remembered alone.)
Pre-Chorus
Ash drifts in where life once breathed,
(No mercy found, no vows believed.)
Eyes like lanterns in endless night,
(Guiding the damned through fading light.)
Chorus
From flesh to oblivion, we fall,
(No gods to answer, no hope at all.)
The fire consumes, the silence sings,
(We lose our bodies, but keep our sins.)
Raise your hands to the void above,
(Embrace the end without love—)
From flesh to oblivion, descend,
(Where beginnings die and there is no end.)
Verse 2
Cranes of death cast long shadows down,
(Steel and bone form a rusted crown.)
Rivers of blood carve through the land,
(The living kneel with trembling hands.)
Time is nothing but a shattered glass,
(Each reflection shows the past will last.)
We feast on fear, we drink decay,
(Tomorrow’s hope burns away today.)
Pre-Chorus 2
Hear the hollow echo of your name,
Feel the cold, the endless flame.
Everything fades, yet something clings—
A whisper of the pain oblivion brings.
Chorus
From flesh to oblivion, we fall,
(No gods to answer, no hope at all.)
The fire consumes, the silence sings,
(We lose our bodies, but keep our sins.)
Raise your hands to the void above,
(Embrace the end without love—)
From flesh to oblivion, descend,
Where beginnings die and there is no end.
Bridge (slow, melodic, clean vocals → growls)
We are ashes in the wind,
Memories of what might have been.
Every scream a fleeting spark,
Every heart a hollow mark.
Claws of fate tear through our skin,
(The final war that rages within.)
No salvation, (no reprieve,)
Only the darkness we conceive.
[Breakdown – loud]
Crush the flesh, ignite the bone,
Every soul now stands alone.
(Rivers burn,) the heavens fall,
Hear the sirens,( heed the call.)
No mercy waits, (no hand to guide,)
From flesh to oblivion we ride.
Verse 3
Children of dust and fractured steel,
(Born to the pyre, taught to kneel.)
History bleeds in endless loops,
(Life a game of poisoned troops.)
We are the echo, we are the flame,
(We carry the guilt, we bear the shame.)
When the last star dies in blackened sky,
We vanish, yet our sins remain to lie.
Pre-Chorus 3
Feel the weight of all you’ve done,
Hear the void, see no sun.
Flesh may crumble, (bones decay,)
Oblivion claims all in its way.
Chorus (Final)
From flesh to oblivion, we fall,
No gods to answer,( no hope at all.)
The fire consumes, (the silence sings,)
We lose our bodies, (but keep our sins.)
Raise your hands to the void above,
Embrace the end without love—
From flesh to oblivion, descend,
Where beginnings die and there is no end.
Outro
Ashes scatter on empty plains,
Memories drown in endless rains.
No song remains, (no bells will chime,)
Only the void, eternal, sublime.
From flesh to oblivion… we are gone.
