i am the one who is always exhuming
i am the one you think you see in the darkest of nights
i have yet to reconcile the thoughts within myself
for still i am one with the dead

Oh, sanguine blood of thy corpse
quench my thirst and stain my skin
Oh, how ironic it is to feel so alive
when you cease to exist

i adore what i have become
i have longed for such a love in my dreams
and my wrath will not subside until this love is mine
forever i remain the hideous figure treading these unholy grounds
for i have failed the one who has created me
my conscious is telling me to ingest the flesh of the deceased
and with my tongue i shall lick the graves of all who will follow me
mark my words, they will pay

i still am one with the dead
and i swear to all that are dead

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
