lyrics

THE SOUR WATERS OF LIFE

Underneath the mountain of snakes
Breathless and eyeless I’m praying for pain
To cripple the soil sans touch
Praising the sin in the siege of blood
Headless and spineless for the soul to take
As the last of drops from the sour waters of life

The water of sacral
The genesis of pain
The semen of dark sibling
The one with the scars on tongue
The one with the scars in eyes
I’m crawling down the mountain of serpents
With venom in heart and venom in blood
To cripple the soil sans touch
The brimstone like vision shatters the light
Illumine the sparks of sovereign madness
Taking the last breath from the sour waters of life

The oil of sacral
The reverence of pain
The semen of dark blood
The one with the scars on tongue
The one with the scars in eyes

The grotesque like silence as a nimbus to my final shape of degradation, clash of the ethereal wombs
And thy sting of the venom bears the abundance of worms’ life

I embrace the madness with the one who teaches me fire
To burn the flames of existence and to lay my heart on pyre

Mesmerized by visions of life that keeps the pain infra to the essence of Samael
