    Lyrics:
    Troublesome sore
    Our thorn jag hangs from glacial wall
    Ever begging the skies to heed us
    The spraining ice is sneering
    Sinewy fingers bear
    Sigils in consequential air
    Sawtooth receipts of black arpeggios
    Niggling tones of fickle whim
    Hissing oesophagus imparts
    The mannerisms of the departed!
    The bone is shaped into a blade
    To cut!
    Let blood the integral spur
    And honed!
    To pluck the morsels offered us
    With glee!
    In quick succession, gobble up
    Consumed!
    It hears all, our gracious grin
    Our lord!
    Exhaustive winds our emissary
    Her saints!
    Ricochet their expletives
    And curses!
    Their pardons, tells and memories
    We've courted!
    We have caught wind of voices
    Vile and insidious,
    Deeds beyond our ken
    Deeds that bite and scissor
    Promises and covenants of teeth
    And terrible certainties
    Of malcontent and suppering wounds
    And portent drawn from chests
    To engorge and satisfy and sate
    The most devious of tyrannies
    Depraved!
    For we can only see,
    And listen!
    But we are not quite spent
    Not yet!
    Our fleshy ears have their limits;
    A bane!
    The displaced soil of seedling breaches
    New growth!
    Of spawning fish in river swell and churn
    We need not these senses where we’re seeking
    Now we perilously listen
    For sympathetic poltergeist
    To receive ephemeral notes
    And disembodied voices
    Yet we see, in the gloom and memory
    Given form and function,
    An agonised expression in the dark
    A place, a figure, given our form
    Sacrament entities,
    Coddled insanities
    Assemblage of god-flesh
    Possessed infatuations
    Particulate growths
    In vitro deities
    In the bosom of wood
    Crawl with a delicate
    Strength to bear witness with
    All who have come
    To fight off the end
    And with sapient ambition
    Holds taught the silk
    Sequential spinnerets of
    Legion dainty arachnids
    Chitinous armies march
    A chthonic algebra
    Stalking the prey
    of weakling thoughts
    Whose raking limbs clatter over
    Our fleshy hippocampus
    Tweak and tune our naive-grasp
    With images of prominence
    Despite times maddened errant threads
    That snap in twain, and snag and strain
    Wombs have housed our prescient skin
    A navel cord adamantine
    This spirit mouths uncertain words
    The lick and cluck of archaic tongue
    Whose smite was honed to a keen blade
    And cut the earth from stem to stern
    Dig a little; turn a stone
    The humus hides unmarked tombs
    With little effort one might exhume
    Carcasses of the never living
    Never breathing
    Essence of enduring creeds
    Elegant fetishes made
    In the likeness of us
    That lie unsullied
    By the march of worms
    Sternums braced with ribs of iron
    Eyes of quartz, teeth cut from diamond
    It walks the fathomless
    Held in perpetuity
    Our omen man,
    Our fleshless effigy
    We forge from bone and broth of wax
    A talisman of its likeness
    This shall serve as conduit
    For the coming proclamation
    Drifted blood, a stray daughter
    It seeks comfort and safe harbour
    yet has had its heart cut away
    But its voice is not alone
    Cautioned verses through rhizomes
    Another screams the rending split
    Bellows hung on tenterhooks
    The crack and pull of ligament
    Rupturing appendices
    Pining itch, empty bellies
    Yearning only for what is not theirs.
    Malnourished of any sense
    Yearning only for what is not theirs
    Thrown compassion to the winds
    Yearning only for what’s not theirs
    As if they ever had any of it
    Look upon and bear witness!
    Don’t shield your sight from this sickness
    Sour garrisons, battalion fiends!
    Rear up on slender necks
    Gleeful blood delirium,
    A heart and head starved
    A caustic rhythm spat and seared
    Drum on bold oblivion!
    The ramparts move with bullish heave, Heave!
    Crippled backs nourished with zeal;Greed!
    Of the lurid Carrion men; A need
    Atop their hideous caravans, proceed!
    Cynical, shed cataracts from within,
    Sun beat eyes let a light in,
    If our cunning is in our stare,
    Then with courage, lay it bare
    Declare!
    Cycles allowed to breathe, exhale!
    With same knife let them bleed, let it bleed!
    Veins drain and sever songs
    One of living but never learned
    Yearn only for what is already ours
    We must, we must try, or lose all!
    Yearn in the promise of their retreat
    Of their demise
    Yearn only for what is already ours
    Yearn in the promise of their retreat
    Of their demise!
