I STOLE THE EYES FROM A BURNING GOD OF HUNGER I SAW THE WORLD IN SUCH A DIFFERENT LIGHT INSIDE ME THERE IS SUCH AN AWFUL DRIVE MY TEETH OVER YOUR PULSE I COULDNT HELP BUT BITE! THIS OVERPOWERING AVARICE IT SICKENS ME BUT I FIND SUCH SATISFACTION MAKING YOU RUN IN TERROR IN YOUR FEAR I FIND SUCH GLEE DONT PLAY WITH THINGS THAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND YOU ARE AN ANT CRAWLING ON A GIANT’S HAND DONT PLAY WITH THINGS THAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND YOU ARE AN ANT CRAWLING ON A GIANT’S HAND DONT PLAY WITH THINGS THAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND YOU’RE THE ANT SOMETHING IS LURKING OUT OF YOUR VISION, HUNTING AFTER YOU WITH UNERRING PRECISION DONT PLAY WITH THINGS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND FOR YOU ARE AN ANT ON A GIANT’S HAND.

A BODY TORN APART. 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Your harpoon pierced open my wings As I sailed through the solar ash Your hunger for holy flesh it knows no bounds I see My body wrenched Down to the burning earth Torn apart, a pack of beasts In the hands of inhumanity Inhumanity I struggled hard against you, Your fists and knives can only Do so much to something So holy and alive I will not become another meal for you Ill burn and burn and salt the ground destroy the world that birthed you how does it feel now? youve destroyed something so good and true A demon’s just an angry god A blood soaked soul in anger rampaging after you Now my wings are so tired My hands stained with human gore im in too much pain to take flight How will I ever return to light I can’t return to life

FIRES OF HEAVEN 04:02
lyrics

THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND COLD AND DEAD GRACED BY YOUR UNPRESENCE THE ONE WHO FELL FROM HEAVEN TORN APART AGAIN DISGRACED IN IRREVERENCE THE SKY IS WEEPING NOW FOR US BURNING, BURNING BRIGHT AS WE RETURN TO DUST THE STARS THE STARS, THEY’RE WEEPING NOW FOR US BORN IN FIRES DYING OUT EXPLOSIONS OF WHAT ONCE WAS THE EARTH OPENS UP. THE FIRES OF HEAVEN CONTAINED WITHIN BURNING BURNING BRIGHT AS WE RETURN TO DUST.
