lyrics

unsheathed in invitation to your end
a meager offering to appease ancestral shame

guided toward the apse
stained windows cast light onto suspended pillars of dust

recite gestures to supplicate the cross
in futile means to elevate self to the ranks of gods

prophetic mouthpiece for the ancient ones
communing with idols locked in empty rooms

blade salutes bone in archaic liturgy
nape of the neck beckons kiss of a cleaver
forged iron through skin travels ever inwardly
spilt blood to ensure a legacy

what good is this ritual
without an unbroken blade

what use is an altar
in the midst of apostasy

a needlessly sacrosanct
gem encrusted dagger
with implications grander than could be conceived by man

the dampened screams of loss
the agony of life
the weight of time

reach forth into the nothingness
hands clasp in esoteric rites
ascending past bone, blood, and misery
beholding magnificent visage of light

plunge hand deep into ocean
grope for unholy serpentine life
palms slide over gills as water fills lungs
clutch flesh as existence is torn from you

What purpose holds a sacrifice
without an unbroken blade

what use is a physical altar
once every soul exists as one

a needlessly sacrosanct
gem encrusted dagger
consecrated by the blood of humankind

the dampened screams of loss
the agony of life
a fleeting glimpse of the face of god
