Choke the River With Your Dead
We cleave this skull with fire
Worship the wolves with razors
Control the gods, none higher
When floods come cleanse, we’re reborn
(chorus)
Bound by chains of insects
Crippled by the ghosts
Choke the river with your dead
Until the tides come close
Shape the clay of your god
Frozen by his eyes
Choke the river with your dead
Flesh bone sacrifice
You taste the kiss of insects
The sweet embrace of failure
When liquid hooks dig deeper
The sting of Hell burns sweetly
(repeat chorus)
No one bleeds on their casket clothes
Or cries at the jester’s funeral
When birds of prey stop the feast
We bleed into the ocean
Sheep dreams of insect’s life
And crack a crooked smile
No one bleeds on their casket clothes
Or cries at the jester’s funeral

Mothsblood
Let’s burn this one more time on the assembly line
Dining on smoke and fever dreams for all my life
The pink smell and slave riot
Happiness drives you crazy
Breath in time, spit out words
The cold scalds your silver tongue
(chorus)
Strands of honey skin burning me whole
I’m burning with the streetlight prophet
Wings of the hunting crow crave me knives
I’m burning with the streetlight prophet
There were some days I thought I’d never pray for failure
The webs that stains my eyes see the thorns inside you
Can’t hear me, behold me, the dust shines so clear
Can’t hear me, behold me, the dust shines so clear
(repeat chorus)
Soon you will burn
Mothsblood, bullet’s path, cut the lines.

Straight To Hell

Straight to Hell
When the chains that keep you grounded get linked by the hands of ghosts
Then you’ll learn that the God you’ve been serving is the one you hate the most
Chorus:
In here I turn the tide
Only time will tell
In here I serve my time
Straight to Hell
These changes are coming and the ballots have been cast
When I hear those boots stomping, then I’ll know my times has passed.
(repeat chorus)
Will I sink or am I swimming
All that certain is the loss
Bones and regrets line the highway
Clouds from nightmares blind my eyes

Insect Dirge
Bleed earth on a shallow tomb
The blue sky burns by casket light
Bleeding backs build the palace walls
The crop grows fuel for insect dirge
Hogtied by the raven’s curls
I drag the rocks to insect’s crown
If I burn in these four walls
I’ll bury the ash with memories
(chorus)
Lost in the dust pile
A grain is replaced
Stabbed by the hours
Open the gate and nail me to the sky
Cursed to the nightmare
Living skin is turning pale
Crack the code of the tyrant’s rules from servant’s backs
I pull the switch to drop the blade
The colors blind me
The hallowed eyes trip the wires
And burn the slaves

Heavy Lies the Crown
Hang from this rope so tightly
Drag my regrets to the mountain
The hangman’s hand holds steady
The birds of prey will stave
Sheep beg to dream
I pray to wake
Clouds of the nightmare
Choking my neck
Crushed by the wheel of karma
My eyes will burn with fire
These eyes will bury the regrets
The raven’s curls choke softly

Sleeping All December

Sleeping All December
You burn the iron idol
I bathe in gasoline
We’ll hang these martyrs one by one
Inside the emerald master
I whip the traitor dogs
When death is served it’s all the same
Been sleeping all December
Storm winds bring frozen days
Can’t see this light before
Drown in a coloured haze
This flesh is not for keeping
Just a coat until I’m gone
I’ll die with it inside my cage
Baptized in blood servants
Drink up and fade away
Just another ghost in the machine
Sleeping December
Storm clouds have frozen my eyes
Can’t see black for the blind man
Can’t see the light in the sky

Lambs In The Wolfskin

Lambs in the Wolfskin
You burn the path that keeps the trail on the searchlight
The serpents fall right into place
Inside the womb you call the name of a million mothers
The answers always turn out wrong
Lambs in the wolfskin
The kingdom is dead
Lambs in the wolfskin
The snake has no head
The blood that stains your lips always tastes like failure
But still the hunger burns your mind
I never said the wolf would take your skin so easy
I’ll leave this lambskin for my host

Armour Divides
Forged by the ghost hands
The wires unwinding
Cursed to the flesh cage, it leaves me behind
Teeth of the serpent, the eyes of the deadman
Guiding the crusade till Aries is fed
March in the emerald
The amour divides me
Man or a martyr?
No one knows
Sleeping with corpses that still keep on dreaming
Sword in my hand always staking my claim
Burn all the bridges I’m no longer crossing
Flesh of the master still drives me insane
Born without feeling, still reeling
while feasting on the spoils of war
skin of your master burns faster
Bleeding out salvation’s hand
