You sing like a lost fawn Caught in the river bed, waiting for winters end All we’re left with are the statued halls Watching for unmasked men, praying to black crosses Black crosses I heard you in the riverbed Singing to the lost fawns New Gods, godspeak - Bring me to the well Will you dream of a new rose When you poison the garden They only tell you what you thought you heard Underneath a black cross I heard the crash & caught the bottle bleeding out As I ran out through the night Into the now, forbidden stones We are the frequency of dirt Eternal bodies - immortal cylinders of faith New Gods, godspeak - Bring me to the well Where I first heard our new gods speak There are no pints in this parler Only vipers & and double speak Venom rang like holy words Freeing our arms to bend & break our hostages There was blood under cover of grace There was evidence There was a new rose There was a new rose guiding you Cut off the cameras Cut off the saints Cut off the cameras Cut to the graves

A face appears out of the darkness From beyond the cavern walls Cloaked in robes and psychic terror Horror reaching from the earth Call the wraith - a vision Into the past horizon Clouded eyes Torn from grace Endless pain Beyond me Your suffered, patience breaks Reached your arms Beyond me Behind the door in a twilight basement A strange light shone beneath the world Maggots of fallen angels Hold secrets of hidden rooms She sings in math - the passage No whisper is safe, beyond the grave No whisper is safe Beyond the shadows of graves How you could be so dense is beyond me Living in all these false worlds you’ve created Wrapped around old stones Swerved off the side of the road No one stays long here You shouldn’t have come out alone No one belongs here Open up your chest to the ghost Save. Your. Self.

Clip the wings I’m thinking of ending things to be nothing, to destroy and rebuild I won’t come back. Was it not for me to claim? The give and take. Dream of love and light It’s a shame I’ve ruined everything It’s not gonna end how you want it Don’t let me know when it’s time When flesh erodes Clip the wings I’m thinking of ending things To be nothing To destroy and rebuild I won’t come back. You had to mess with with it When flesh erodes And you had to mess with it When flesh erodes.

When the days of mercy comes to and end We all what to be saved never had a chance Astray, Betrayed. Despite the ruins it’s not over Deprived and denied It’s uncontrollable so endlessly unemotional To a piece of what’s lost. The sound of my fragile bones Crumbling without resistance Against the gods fucking teeth. I tried to hold on with all my strength but the pain I have to give up. Astray, betrayed. It’s terror nothing pure can stay only stolen.
