LYRICS

Withering flowers
Youth is behind me
Errant desires
Treat me unkindly

Wayward I wandered
Heart seeking blindly
Yearning for something
Lost deep inside me

Deep, anxious hunger,
Wanderlust drives me
Into the arms of
The wolves that will rive me

A moment of terror
An exit from Eden
Eternity lurches
In the passing of seasons

Sacred mother
Hope you hear me
I”ve been waiting
For you to find me

All these shadows
That surround me
Fear your power
Please come get me (x2)

Trapped in this place
Possessed by the shade
Arch-empress in bondage
A queen swathed in chains

A dawning dark age
Innocence defiled
I miss your embrace
The warmth of your smile

I’m trapped in this place
Possessed by the shade
Beguiled in a kingdom
I’m cursed to co-reign

I call out your name
The harvest is nigh
Come banish the devils
That prod at my sides

Withering flowers
Youth is behind me
Errant desires
Treat me unkindly

Wayward I wandered
Heart seeking blindly
Yearning for something
Lost deep inside me

Sacred mother
Hope you hear me
I”ve been waiting
For you to find me

All these shadows
That surround me
Fear your power
Please come get me

Mother Where Are You

Original sin
I’m corrupted within
Bit the apple of my eye
To spite the god of chagrin

Original sin
Let the devil come in
Split your thighs, knees to sky
Lick the shame from your skin
(This is how we transcend)

Original sin
You don’t have to pretend
I can smell your wickedness
Just like a witch in the winds

Original sin
You give up, you give in,
Your demise, in disguise
You’ll supply at my whim

Your self-control is hanging on the edge of a knife
I will gladly ease the pressure if you let me inside
Your my dirty fucking angel, patron goddess of filth
Your the Lilith to my Adam the original sin

I’m the feral, carnal nature that you cannot deny
You can track my path through Eden by the marks on your thighs
Let's get lost inside these woods together, howl at the sky
Sink our teeth into each other until one of us dies

Original sin
I’m corrupted within
Bit the apple of my eye
To spite the god of chagrin

Original sin
You give up, you give in,
Your demise, in disguise
You’ll supply at my whim

Original sin
Let the devil come in
Split your thighs, knees to sky
Lick the shame from your skin
(This is how we transcend)

Original Sin
You don’t have to pretend
Split your thighs, knees to sky
This is how we transcend

(Chorus)

Original Sin

The Star

Death

The High Priestess

The thread’s been cut, the killing blow,
His ruthless axe
Your blood on the snow

The stains of life
They paint my woes
The acrid smell
On death I choke

On borrowed grace
I walk alone
Forlorn, displaced
My mind evading hope

The sunken place
That swallows whole
Those lost in pain
Afraid to grow

Execution Day

Lyrics

By your hand I was lead astray
Now I seem to have found my way
A kinder spirit guides me today
But only I can break the chains

Found solace in your bottle
Your words have gone hollow
You’ll leave but I won’t follow
Here today and gone tomorrow

Found solace in your bottle
Your words have gone hollow
My hurt pride’s something I won’t swallow
You’ll leave but I won’t follow

No one comes for you
Most others need saving too
No one can come save you
Yourself can see you through

All those lost years
Where does the pain go
How will I heal
How could you know?
Thought you were someone
I could depend on
You showed yourself now
It’s time to move on

No one comes for you
Most others need saving too
No one can come save you
Yourself can see you through

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

Lyrics

You bring me out the worst in me
Murdered my hope, I’m your accessory
Gashes from my past, you fit them like a key
Unlocking all the hidden fears I thought I rid from me

Rewrite my personality
Tell me what you want
I'm haunted by the ghost
Of the girl I thought I was

Quench your self hate with my blood
Sate your anger by my rape
Siege the palace of my mind
Inscribed with curses you berate

Your smiling like a sickle
Call me sweet Persephone
Break my ankles, bind my feet
So there is no escape for me

Don't ask me who I am
Don't ask me what I like
Just let me say all the ways I can be used
Yours to do with as you like

Keep me locked inside the cellar
Kept away from eyes to see
The ruin and the rape
Of all that once belonged to me

Rewrite my personality
Tell me what you want
I'm haunted by the ghost
Of the girl I thought I was

Don't ask me who I am
Don't ask me what I like
Just let me say all the ways I can be used up
Yours to do with as you like

Sick from all the “love”, your affection’s triggering
I’m septic from the strain of our soiled memories

Dream Snatcher

LYRICS

Beneath the hate
A wish grows rancid
Sweet whispers lost
As grief’s incanted

Beneath the hate
A mute swan dances
A lonely waltz
Lost second chances

To ice my heart is only wise
So ill-received - my sacrifice
The drones of love will rend my skies
Love bombing in fool’s paradise

Beneath the hate
Past life enchantments
Lover’s reversed
Old vows recanted

Beneath the Hate
Lies furtive glances
A wounded palm
The outstretched hand

Yes I hate you,
No one can ever replace you (x4)

Yes I fucking hate, and I love you, that’s a given
Your a mirror, my reflection, but I’m all out of forgiveness
No more patience, all frustration, I can’t comprehend your language
All this anguish, skin is rankling, got me feeling like the hanged man

I’m not trying to be hateful, I’m just trying to survive
Tried to bury blood hatchets, take the log out of my eye
By agapic principles my soul is trying to abide
But my heart is feeling lost without a guide to give me shrive

To ice my heart is only wise
So ill-received - my sacrifice
The drones of love will rend my skies
Love bombing in fool’s paradise
