Bated breath
Held in vain
Blown from chest
Blood and rain
Twisted steel
Fled to fading pain
On these killing fields
As they’re born again.
Rolling plumes and falling ashes
Your faces painted in the dust
I’ll anoint you with a kiss from Heaven
And tear your rabid mind apart
Let me feast upon the hearts of the faithless
Let me taste the pain of those they love
Revel now, my writhing children
Like raucous serpents in the sand
Fall upon the flame
Until the
End of time
Climbing down the chain
Over my
Frosting breath
Feel the creeping weight
Split seasons
From the sky
The error of our
Judgment
Lay only in those that survive
The rictus charnel grinning fire
Scream for lungs we’ve crushed in hand
Let me taste the end of all they’ve cherished
And give their breath to you, sweet lover Death
Let me feast upon the hearts of the faithless
Drunk on blood, we gorge on war
The mouldering scent, the sigh of dying
A rite of fire to paint the night
We claw our way up through the ages
Blooded teeth we are the ancient breed
Bated breath
Held in vain
Blown from chest
Blood and rain
