As The Sun Turns To Ash
Goatwhore · Other Songs - Goatwhore
The kiss of decay in steps of two Empty bleak carrion
Stripped of sensation Exposing the faith of beyond
on your deathbed We are but worms in the fruit of expiration
The most forbidden fruit of disease Unkept from dying
Lost within a distand fear
(Distant feat of dying) This idol of absolute Animals
of the world feed war Pathological outcast of Christ
Taking revolution for name Glassy look of the eyes
Too deep for a living soul to stomach Images of the
afterworld Leverage within the creation of ruin We
travel through a doorway of nothing Enter afterlife
of inverted faith Indulging in childhood fears To enter
a mystery of ungodly ascent
(Ascend) The never ending punishment of unfeeling to
perish in a death of disregard Oppressive association
in a vague cleansing of the irate Gold gates of the
divine Breathe more life into vanity Material power,
Human idealism A living myth of the trials of the abnormal
Winged ugli ness in a shattered prism Soaring the scaled
impiety to lay the trap With fruit of failure It leads
our rebirth into the snake The darkness bleeds throughout
the sky in plagues A deep breath of a martyr's dream
Scorn of emptiness to be embraced in solitude Inhale
this freedom...Justify our existence
