Grovekiller Lyrics

Nightfall

Another blackened heathen

Eyes on

The bones we've burned

Libation

Of blood and ash

Grant us strength

And hold us fast!

Brought down to the circle to pray

Blindfolded and bound

Begging your god for mercy

…Mounted to the timber again

Your eyes torn from the root

Tendons stripped from the bone

A bloodied husk your vessel

Gone all you have known

Your poems

Heard by no one

Your monuments

Forgotten

Brought down to the circle to pray

Blindfolded and bound

Begging your god for mercy

…Mounted to the timber again

Knives drawn

We must cut their tongues out

Storm on

We'll raze their shrines

Misbegotten

Wealth and soul

Grant them death

And make us whole

Your flesh

Sown into Earth

Now othered

Broken to soil

Your prose

Ground into dust

Your children

Fed to the dogs

This curse that lives in your blood

Seeps deep into the soil

Infecting the roots

The beating heart

Of the moon

Drink deep from their well

Our plague now sated
