Lyrics

Christ's body has rotted
In a tomb of rich men
A secret loculus
Centipedes ate his tongue

One hundred crawling legs
Scrawling verses of war
Western demagogue 
Apostles’ legacy

A sad messiah
Tragic hero of pride
Early temptations felled
Now rule him ascended

Promised Kingdom of God
Apocalyptic wish
Fuel for furnaces
of the trains and death camps



Goodbye sunsests, fading fast
cool breeze, calm depths, crashing waves
heartache skipping, sunken pit
ashes scattered, fallen friend

I wish that I believed
You’re in a better place
Even if heaven were real
That just wouldn’t be the case...

Centipede Sunsets (Original Demo)

Snowy cold wind blows us down
Chill seeps into broken souls
Frost could take us had we not
golden embers, sinful coal

Burned-up memories guide us
coupled, timid and shy
I’m so lost now in your eyes
and a little terrified


I’ve never known fear like this
Nothing to loose, only you


I’m so lost now in your eyes
and a little terrified
Holding back tears when we kiss
Overwhelmed by all this bliss

I can’t deny it could be love
Are you a serpent or dove?
Please tell me tonight wont end
Can’t you hold me and pretend?

Charred-up branches, blue-dawn fog
Cold hearts strewn like scattered coals


Ravens of Dispersion

Centipede Sunsets

Shining music ablaze with little hums
blond locks tumbling under dusty sunbeams
Awestruck by your beauty, I did not see
Your Mantis Angel who loves with murder

Hail bludgeoned my life into famine 
Cold in the elements, you took me in
Then the blizzard came, you found warmth in me
Fairy-tale love ardently corrupted 

You took me and spat venom in my soul
Infecting through vile infidelity 
Giving death, beheading with rapier thrusts
Returning again to enjoy the corpse

Pulsing golden rays eclipsed by dark deeds
Gravel tells stories for those who will dig
You left me on that fiery peak in a ditch
A half-eaten could-be bride of sunflowers

The Mantis Angel

vast, grim countenance gazing up at the kingdom
like passions of lovers in empty eye-sockets
some heaven of pleasure in rapturous virtue
Embracing, accepting, and welcoming sinners

The grave is a garden of life and renewal
and I am a seed to be planted in soil
Sorrowfully seeking the grave mother’s banquet;
Nonbeing absorbed in a vacuum of dead gods

this life, a sad curse, let it be lifted quickly
I might be the last one who remembers my name
The time has now come -I know what I must do next
All bliss is drowned out by the daggers and static

They make it so easy I know how to do it
I can’t get the thought of it out of my head
Living with near-death memory haunting each step
medical ailments, dead friends, and mistakes

I need to go somewhere somebody will know me
to visit an old peace which hides in the darkness
to sacrifice this ambulating cadaver...

Falcifera
