Damballah
Eidola
Light kerosine trembling with regret
I can't remember a time flames didn't shape the Earth (shape the Earth)
Agnostic retrospect
Disaster will remain
Abortion from the grave
Rip and tear at your chains (at your chains)
Take for yourself for what God gave and prevail
Sky torn open like a scriptural code
I need a brimstone shower down on every abode
I need the Morne Blanc ruins of the east to implode
I need a preacher, I need an exorcist
Etch your skull with an osteotome
I am a concave echo at the end of the drone
I am a long lost beggar at the foot of the throne
I am a creature, I am a blasphemist (ow)
Hushed tones break the silence
Loose tongues lathered with disease
Venom in abundance
No medicine can cure me
Praise your deity
Possession by a phrase
Pray for me and take my sins away
Domestic hatred, vitality
Restringent saint, poison in my veins
Damballah
I won't rest until your rivers run with blood
Your wells run dry (wells run dry)
Mouth's sewn shut
Your eyes torn out
Wrap me in sleep
Drown me in gold
I need someone to pull me out from under
Miracles in disguise
Spare me the gaze of your serpent eyes
Now, have you come to watch the cult of heroes die?
Well, we are waiting
Oh
I'll hang the rat by his own tail
Blegh
Let him writhe and burn in hell
Let him writhe and burn in hell
Hey
You got a righteous mob?
You think you got enough?
'Cause when the trumpet sounds
You're better hit the ground
I'm gonna call your bluff
'Cause we've had enough
I'm sick of this idol worship
I'm in the mood for violence
Slit your fucking throat
Bring me before
Bring me before the flame
An effigy of suffering
I can't endure its haunting
I can't believe it's crawling after me
Disclosing agony
Damballah
I won't rest until your rivers run with blood
Your wells run dry (wells run dry)
Mouth's sewn shut
Your eyes torn out
Licentious whore, refrain you breath to break me free
Blegh
Set me forth a pyre and redeem what I've always meant to be
