Quarantine got me like :eyes:

Anyway here's my best attempt at it (writing this before I begin, wish me luck) I will also be using Genius for somewhat of a reference... is that cheating? not really, I don't expect people to know much of the legit lyrics otherwise

Legend:

[] = my interpretation
no [] = literal lyrics
() = my thoughts
** = what it sounds like

red: corrections/alternatives
green: additions
pink: notes

I write harsh vocals as capitalized and cleans (or whispers/quiet harsh vocals) with normal letters

*screaming* gotta specify the scream texture :^)
UUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AYE AYE AYE AYE

[Let us resume and finish our far sight] I will show your death. LET US RESUME TO FIX OUR FAR SIGHT I WILL SHOW YOU DEATH
Is this what you wanted? This is WHAT you neeeeeeeeed! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED? IS THIS WHAT YOU NEED *note later
[Our death is where it begins] AaAaAaAaAaA I AM SORROWED IN THE EEEEEEEENNND

*incoherent screaming*

[Daaaaaaaaaaaaaady!] 2x (please don't hurt me)

*more incoherent screaming*
replacing the above lines ^
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
DOOOONUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
GIVE IT
GIVE IT HEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEE

Hold your children close and pray for oblivion!

As the world goes
The strong do what they can
And the weak suffer what they must
Shallow be thy graves

Dress them in exalted rags and bring them unto me, me let's face it, that latter 'me' sounds like a goat (or sheep)
This is what you wanted, this is what you need IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED? IS THIS WHAT YOU NEED *note later
[This is the song of the sirens...] AaAaAaAaAaAaAAA I AM SORROWED IN THE EEEEEEEENNND I like how you interpreted this very similar place completely differently the two times x)


*screaming*

[All these voices, why won't they shut up? WHHHHHHHY???]

BUTTER THEEMM NOOOOWWW
I HEAR FOR THEM
AND TO RUSH, RUN AROUND
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WANT EM NOOOOOT

Hold your children close and pray for oblivion

As the world goes
The strong will do what they can
And the weak suffer what they must
Shallow be thy graves


There shall [proceed some] foreseen of the [eternal tunnel]
simultaneous secondary lines in ()
There shall (wholes) be (as are forseen) whooooooleeeeee
of the (to me) laaaaaawwww (to me) this idea seems very probable due the album name reference, even as the last part doesn't really sound like 'law' at all

[So why did I change your mind as you remember me?]
[Let us wander strenuously so you have to answer me]
[Just because you're black doesn't always mean you have to sin] (????????????????)
[It's just one take, this is not a game]
replace above, for this what I have sounds actually pretty legitimate I think
STOP CRYING THAT YOUVE CHANGED YOUR MIND ITS YOU WHO INVOKED ME
ALL THATS WRONG IS THAT I DID ALL THAT YOU ASKED OF ME
JUST BECAUSE YOURE BLIND THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO SEE
THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED. THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED. the switch from questions to statements here is not only something I hear, but also something that makes thematically sense (refer to the above *notes)

As the world goes
The strong will do what they can
And the weak suffer what they must

Shallow be thy graves AND RIVING THE MORNING IN just guessing like with the other less understandable parts tbh, but it really doesn't sound like the usual line here; it's also pretty common place in lyricism to include different line than the normal

As the world goes
The strong will do what they can
And the weak suffer what they must
Shallow be thy graves

UEGH
