SPECTER

|
Fools will drink of the blood spilled in the name of the white egregore and think nothing of it
Bathe in the gore of the millions
Singing as they’re cut away by those complicit
Feed this god
God of white divinity
Kill this god
God of false divinity

DEVOUR/FALSE

Emptied of my contents I
Stand before your altar
You still want more of me
You still want so much more
What can I do
For you, ravening beast?
greed consumes you
As you consume me
You’ve forced me
To be part of your feast
You empty god
False hungry god
We will devour you
We will devour you
We will devour you
We will devour you
Raise your knives
Begin the offering
Devour
Devour your kings
Raise your knives
Begin the offering
Devour
Devour your kings

CANDLE

Light a candle in your windowsill
Im floating through ur town tonight
Unquiet ghosts all follow in my path
Avenging those who have been killed in spite
Leave a cup of blood in the window for me tonight
Leave a cup of blood of your filthiest swine
Blessings on those who leave an offering
Your innocents are safe with me tonight
Leave a blade upon the window
Leave a knife out there for me
Leave a weapon in the stairwell
Leave it fresh and clean for me
Slay the swine and slay the pigs
That threaten your community
Slay these beasts these foul worms
Destroy them in earnest for me
Leave a candle in your windowsill

MY LOVE WAS RIPPED AWAY
03:15
|

|
My angel
Oh my angel how far you have fallen
Oh my love was stolen away from me
By the virtue of such human cruelty
He killed you my love
Tore you open mercilessly
I found your poor form
Down by the river
I swore on my might
My holy power
in the name of you
My dear lover, I would devour
Destroy the hand that killed you first
I swear on all my worshippers
By my immortal heart you’ll be avenged
I tracked him down into the wood
The forest where we both first stood
I dragged him down and tore him limb from limb
his spirit fled before I could
Finish the job I undertook
Alone in the wood I cried
Your presence I felt once again
Dont look upon me my love or you’ll be damned
i feel your spirit with me once again
No more will you ever be hurt by men

If I exist in your mind
I am there with you
Hanging by a little thread
Just a synapse away
From falling again
If I exist in your mind
I am there with you
Dancing on a needle’s tip
Sewing your world to mine
How perfect, divine
If I exist in your mind
I will comfort you
Protect your soul and heal and bind
And keep out the cold
And keep out the white

INVOKE ME
02:34
|
|||
|
We begin the invocation
sigils engraved in wax
i call on your aid fair deity
scry and speak in parallax
Appear before me many limbed god
Speaking in thousand tongues
Let my blood flow gold, divine
draw air from my lungs
I cry out
My lungs give out
My body
it falls away
My soul cracks
My eyes aflame
No recourse
no one to blame
Youve called upon me now
You reap what you will sow now

ALIENATION
03:30
|
|||
|
Empowered, I cry out
the wild quakes with rage
awakened, curseshapen
my form my mind
estranged
I’ll do what needs to be
Done in the name of living
But hollowness prevails
I feel so alien
What can I do to fix this
I can’t feel anything now
What can I do to fix this
I can’t feel anything now
My eyes aflame
My heart can’t take it anymore

SEPULCHRE
03:16
|
|||
|
i am lost
I don’t know anything anymore
Lost little one
Enter the fold
We are here to help you
Guide you home
Drink of my cup
Sit by my fire
No one will hurt you now
Though your wounds may be dire
rest your eyes
Your weary limbs
We will keep watch through the night
Don’t be frightened
Angels in black and red
Are watching over you
