lyrics

split the truth and give it time
a serpent forms from every lie
and here it hangs all black inside
burdening the tongue in time

so give me flesh and give me life
we sit kingly on the edge of a knife

in ecstasy she took her time
and passed them lazy side to side
to dance so wicked deep inside
the taste and texture was sublime

so fork your tongue and give me life
we sit kingly on the edge of a knife

so beat your heart like thunder cries
in adoration of your lies
they taste your love and grow in size
to swell and greatly multiply

and windward we did leave
her soul is lost at sea
the world now deaf to thee
suffer in ecstasy

teeming like eels they shake and cringe
and heave your jaw right off its hinge
to seize and thrash with muffled cries
as your bones break from the inside
rag doll limp and still alive
the hateful things did darkly dive
they copulate a horrid crown
and in this way she did drown
