Face the mirror And I will awake By the freedom in silver Of a scissor blade Like a womb is your skin So must I the midwife be? Your heart, will it bleed? After all is cut away? What's left? What's left of you? Empress Ascend to your throne Over bodies, bleeding your river of adulation Colour of your eyes Green gazing down From your skin, to your skull Now a prize Emeralds in my hand Your heart, will it bleed? After all is cut away? What's left? In your ribcage, A child Blind to your Empire Hear her voice I beg of thee, Heed her cry: Don't leave me Put down your knife I beg you to see Don't leave me Put down your knife Stay here with me It bleeds It bleeds Empress Ascend to your throne Over bodies, bleeding your river of adulation Face your city! Face your people! Let them hear The voice of the throne! Rot Let me rot in hell My body Is your toy Upon my flesh Carve every torment It's what I deserve I hate you Thunder destroys A mirror Vomit fire Upon my breast Hear me scream Let my agony Sate your thirst And if I beg you to stop Tear out my throat Let me rot

Through the way I see you Twisted and broken Through the way I see you Through the way out Like closed eyes, they feel good Where the mind spilled Written in fire across my arm I am as the candle wick And ever more I wither And ever more I grow estranged And ever more I wonder Who will ever love me? The aberrant Skinned alive, unwanted Ever more with steel pens I rend my flesh to ribbons My flesh, it twists Under nails like blades Give me warmth In skin alight I am as the candle wick And ever more I wither And ever more I grow estranged And ever more I wonder Who will ever love me? The aberrant Skinned alive, unwanted Ever more with steel pens I rend my flesh to ribbons Thousands of eyes all blind On fire you walk unseen Don't wither away alone Thy blood I drink and touch the sun No one's here Thy scars are eyes, I see you Over blood, take my hand A spiral dance in fire In the night, with you We burn to ash together On our arms, form a line Through ash we find the sun

慕 07:59
lyrics
You left me by the altar You left me by the altar With a bouquet of my own skin My blood in rivers across the aisle My flesh once ruby, now as chalk Never another wandering past To cast their eyes to me To nowhere Nowhere In my Cathedral Four walls of scars Doth fires burn outside in cities I'm left to grasp at ashes Through doors ajar Do embers wander Like angels in the night Sear them to my Skin

Fire, take my hand 06:03
lyrics
There's always another reason It's never enough To fill chalice with blood I mean it, I swear This time I'll find a way I mean it, I swear This time I'll find a way through fire Through fire Fire, take my hand Fire Become my body Fire Become my body Walk Find the city far from here Why should I change for you You never wanted me anyway I fall from the mist, at last At last Through the forest, at last At last Ashen sand swallows me, at last At last Turn to glass, at last I found it, at last

i fear death 14:12
lyrics
Over the stones Across the steel megaliths Scream together, "I was here" But I am right behind you Oh, God How sweet is thy skin, beckoning me Run, run from me It only makes me want you more Run, run from me My eyes lurk in every brick As honey is your agony, my love I'll take my time with you Piece by piece, my doll To hear your suffering call Beg me for your life Beg me for your life Get on your knees Watch the tide flowing Worship me And watch the tide flowing Towards a singularity of time Watch the flood From your skull Years and years fall into abyss Lucifer, I cry for thee Let my mind survive The traitor flesh You'll see through The tides will part Follow alleyways Into the sublevels Find the Cathedral There, she awaits: The Empress Charred and burned Her body a collage of scars Watch the flood From your skull Years and years fall into abyss Lucifer, I cry for thee Let my mind survive The traitor flesh
