Lyrics
12 martyrs,
dried, skinned, and propped up,
each refusing to speak.
Answer me.
Can’t you see how grief,
has drained the color from my flesh?
I swear I am no longer the heartless traitor,
who had poisoned you all.
My vile acts were necessities to preserve,
my offerings.
Why can’t I forget their screams?
Creeping,
reaping,
forevermore.
Each victim,
must be kept hidden,
from the vermin outside.
I hear them,
gnawing their way in,
craving my rotting friends.
Out of any possible outlet for my rage,
why did I have to kill,
the ones who were always standing right by my side,
without condition?
Why can’t I forget their screams?
Creeping,
reaping,
forever they ring.
Lethal habits return,
breaking,
aching,
destroying me.
Bleed,
for the deity.
Burn,
these thoughts out of me.
This ritual is the,
only way I can be saved,
from the entrapment,
between neurosis and disgrace.
I’ve murdered without any cause,
and I know that it’s all my fault.
I’m not asking to be forgiven.
Just let me forget.
Instructions from scripture nearly complete.
Death, give me your hand.
The planets have aligned, now I,
become your 13th sacrifice.
Why can’t I forget their screams?
Creeping,
reaping,
forever they ring.
Lethal habit return.
Breaking,
aching,
destroying me.
