I'm all finished with the new album, Halfwolf, and now it's time to drop some lyric videos! First up from the album is "The Rot," an Elden Ring-inspired track from the perspective of Malenia, Blade of Miquella. It follows her embrace of the infection consuming her to accept an eventual new form as the Goddess of Rot.

(Wow there's a lot of lyrics in this one)

Lyrics:
The poison in the cherry wine
A state of death but trapped in time
Afflicted with a nightmare's touch
That mother could not cure
A crimson promise kept to me
And I cling to it carefully
When battles fought could break my soul
It whispers to endure

As flowers blow in southern winds
They tell the tales of my own sin
When I can't stop the fight I'm in
And scarlet spreads once more

This is the pain that feeds
The rot inside
A poison and a creed
My parasite
I am changed but free
And it strengthens me
Still to survive
So like a river flows
I'll move along
As the infection grows
My heart beats strong
I will thrive consumed
As a midnight bloom
Into the dawn

A killing blow from nature's wrath
The detour on my divine path
In fallout of the shattered
The debtors are unpaid
Misguided by the influence
Of the last order's ignorance
There's hope left in the bloodline still
It slumbers far away

Beyond the mountains on the sea
Lies kindred grace for Valkyries
The wait for a homecoming
It grows to countless days

This is the pain that feeds
The rot inside
A poison and a creed
My parasite
I am changed but free
And it strengthens me
Still to survive
So like a river flows
I'll move along
As the infection grows
My heart beats strong
I will thrive consumed
As a midnight bloom
Into the dawn

So if I must wait forever
For salvation or the grave
I have bound my soul to vengeance
And I've taken what I crave
I will stop the interruptions
Even if I lose my mind
When the roaches come I'll crush them
As I'm running out of time

Within the rot it seems
There's a faint humanity
That speaks to the affliction as it grows
And all I have become
In the years of growing numb
Is perfect in the ways I've come to know

This is the pain that feeds
The rot inside
A poison and a creed
My parasite
I am changed but free
And it strengthens me
Still to survive
So like a river flows
I'll move along
As the infection grows
My heart beats strong
I will thrive consumed
As a midnight bloom
Into the dawn
