Ritual Lyrics

I've witnessed the soil corrupting

Blisters upon the stone

Pulsating with such a hunger

For something

And motions more akin to bursting

Just to stabilize

I tread these hallowed piles

Discarded flesh

Emulsified

Disperse their blood to vials

Methodically redistributed

Not one drop more

Reintroduction of the dregs

The shell abhors

Clairvoyant through bedrock

Ah! What shall this ritual confide in me

I feel the rocks beneath

Contorting

Ah!

The shallow gasps of life

Violently spewing forth

The knife

I clutch and introduce new blood

Slowly earth begins to turn and grind

Against the bones of old

(Of old)

Mouth that folds into

An eager O

That churning

It strives to pull life

to a bleeding sway

"Dancing glade

Gnaw and splay

Sludge into into my shoulder blades,

My compass"

Masticate

Compression

Mash and grate

I take the mantle

Of its keeper

Calm its cries of

Pain

Ah! What shall this ritual confide in me

I feel the rocks beneath

Contorting

Ah!

The shallow gasps of life

Violently spewing forth

The knife

I clutch and introduce new blood
