A Damned Wolf Remained
03:49
|

We've seen the burning corpses
Smelled the stench of unwashed masses
Fields of weathered remains collapsing in dust and decay
And still we stay.
A damned wolf remained.
Searching for scraps and children
Too sick and tired to escape
We feast on the weak
Slavering on hands and knees
Cry out the same refrain
A damned wolf remained.
We'll sleep beneath their ashes
Breed in our dead enclaves
We'll kill the young to save the old
Til the rest of them are wiped away
A damned wolf remained.

Possession

We skulk into the night
Our wicked worms keep turning
Our deeds in infamy, somnambulance and treachery
Beyond the walls of sleep
Wrest control from you to me
That's right, my will be done
Yeah, my will be done
You never wanted
You never wished for
Things best forgotten on the kitchen floor
Strung from their rafters
Strewn on their sills
These voices guide you
The urge to kill.
Possession!
You suffer in silence
You suffer unto me
Possession!
Look what we've done
Oh now look what we're doing to me.
We skulk into the night
We keep your home fires burning bright
'Cause arson covers every trace
Beyond the walls of sleep
This virulent impersonality
Cruor etched lines on fist and face
You never wanted
You never wished for
Things best forgotten on the bathroom floor
Strung from their rafters
Strewn on their sills
These voices guide you
The urge to kill.
Your eyes, replete with decadence
Their haunted with the faceless fallen
This body... it's rotten to the core
While the strain wears through in entropy. Entropy!
Behind your mind in waking times
Oh you can't stop 'cause I won't let you die!

She was holding her head
Rocking back and forth
Muttering under her breath
Rope burns around her neck
Still I sit on my stool and was away the world
Oh there's no one to go home to
They left long ago
And I was just leaving too
There's plenty of time for grieving, fools.
Every door was open and we keep walking through
Tedium and shuffling
Nowhere to stay and nowhere to go
It's not uncommon to waste away in fear
We gnash our teeth and we cut our arms
Oh the pain in fake but the guilt... oh the guilt is real.
And I was just leaving too
There's plenty of time for grieving, fools.
No one's living and no one's dying
I'll see you around
When you sort it out we'll dig a little deeper now
One day I laid down on the side of the street
Waiting for infinity to come call on me
But no one seemed to care and no one stopped to stare
I was always there.
I am always there.

Decomposing Violet

Board the windows and bar the doors
When the shit hits the fan I'm hittin' the floor
I gotta tell ya, I don't feel alright
I got her bound by the feet and wrists
and I think I'm gonna drink til I'm thoroughly pissed
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
It's gonna be a long night
How could it end when they used to be friends?
Neighbors, families all around me trying to get in
I closed the door on the outside world
Paranoid? Well I think not
You're out to get me
You're all I got.
There's a part of me that won't give in
It's rending tight, right through her skin
Denial reigns and sense resigns
Restraint gave way and panic ensued
It's a special moment from me to you
Like an abbatoir on your settee
It couldn't end well
They used to be friends...
Neighbors, families all around me - they're dying to get in
I closed the door on the outside world
Paranoid? Well I think not
You're out to get me
You're all I got.
Well there's no more room in here
And there's no more room up... up there
And there's no more room in hell.
If it's the end of times I guess that's just fine
The responsibility is out of my hands
It slips away as your flesh gives way
It breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
Til death
Til death
Until the dead tear us apart.

Carrion Comfort

Grey afternoons, sunless and sullenly
To all that is lost it was everything
Rose oil scented bedclothes
Ghostly fading flowers
To all that remains it's worth nothing
Pacing the rugs threadbare
Longing to have her here
Table measured for two and found wanting
To spit the final rites
Testing my resolve
To all that's in my way it's all I know
Resist the darkest hours
I know I tried
It's just too much to bear sometimes
Manic empty circles where my eyes used to be
Hold on, I'm on my way to free you from your grave
Do you sleep in safety or lie awake at night?
It's not our last tomorrow
It's not our last goodbye
I hear your still heart beating from deep beneath the soil
You are just as lovely as when they laid you low
A field of withered lillies stretch before me tonight
We'll lie in grievous pastures
Your cold dead hands in mine
We stayed up all hours talking endlessly
Our conversations are a bit one sided, honestly
Still she listed to every word, head tilted to one side
She doesn't miss her friends, and well, neither do I

Don't Open The Grave

Don't open the grave where my dead heart lies rotting
If this coffin's rockin' don't bother knockin'
You don't want in
Don't say that you're scared if you hear me screaming
You'll be pretty screwed
Your brains smell like food from six feet away
How was I to know the pain of death wouldn't suit me to lie here?
And you wouldn't want the kisses I'll give
Don't ever return
If you have to ask why dear
You buried me once before you whore
Don't open the grave

Recrimination

What if I told you you were right?
That all the promises were there to get us through this night
Would you tell me I was wrong?
If all we've become
If everything comes undone?
We were destitute as empty graves
Searching for ourselves but there was no one left to save
I won't believe
I refuse to grieve
I watch it fall apart
I watched you fall apart
We can't just leave it for today
We can't just put it on then throw it all away
And now it won't be long...
Fear taking hold and dragging on
Should you leave before the dawn eats away our souls
Should we end or lose control?
We can't just leave it for today
We can't just put it on then throw it all away
And if what we have dies tonight
Know you did nothing wrong
You did nothing wrong
