Sludge Lyrics

Am I the master of my fate?

Or will this carrion of hate

Embalm my ever writhing psyche

In a box of blood red tape?

Poster child torn snake oil goddess

Cardinal ashes much too modest

Priestesses of a lesser knowledge

Strung high by tempered sins

Relinquish every innocent

Understanding reprimanding

On the docket equal measure

Testify these simple pleasures

Such is life scape of strife

Uproot the sinister sacred rites

Disciple of a dying creed

Hungering this sickness to be freed

To be freed

To be freed

To be freed

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Rivers run red

Choke the stench of my flesh

Rot before you my final breath

Honour death abduct my virtue

Stuff each spout snuff my light

Flay and devour

Lash for every wasted hour

Point and laugh make merry mass

As I become the ground that you walk on

The sludge in my veins

Will swallow up the rains

Gripping tight to the reins

Which I've wielded subjugation plain

Seep into the soils

As the skin that grows must boil

Nourished a toxin sky devised by

None other than the man next door

This tortured marrow rotting out

Serves to garnish every doubt

Once vanity now ostracized

No mere demise could live without

Defiling mire of endless yield

Where absence wrought a baneful shield

The vain which promised the means to an end

Now warden of your acumen

Paper mâché wings

Fashioned cardboard and string

They pluck my feathers

Make it sting

Strip my body gouge my chest

They rape me 'till there's nothing left

Love and tolerate this mess

Defile and crush my every breath

Sinner

Be damned

Oh in the distance I could see a pale light

Oh was it love I felt as I gave my body to the night?

A strange voice a quiet voice called my name

"Darling Wolf

Won't you put purpose to this pain?

You shall be mine

Until the end of days"

And when it shows its head just indulge it acquiesce

Before you know it somebody else will smash its head in

And the last thing they heard was:

Wolf Howls

Wolf Howls

Wolf Howls
