lyrics

Verse 1
Welcome to the congregation.
You have gathered here to witness the hanging.
The great casting down. The great casting out.
Lowered down into the river, the hollow void of eyeless crowns.
For in that place, the blind man is King.

Pre-Chorus
That same insistent reaper, eternal in the harvesting.
From that place there is no return,
A death that is only the beginning.
(Second time only)There is no return from where angels go to die.

Chorus
So my order is given.
And so carried is my order.
Tie the knot on your halo.
Like the blind man now so shall you see.
I severed your wasted wings, haunted by how you scream.
I severed your wasted wings.
Gift of flight you did not value.
Eat your wings, choke them down.
In the darkened kingdom shall you crawl.
I severed your wings, haunted by how you scream.
I severed your wings.

Verse 2
Rise into the great divine, look upon it a final time.
Blood angel cloaked in the sun, binding in blindness to the pale dragon.
And sink below the brilliant turnings of paradise.
Painful waters of extinction will tomb you.

Preacher
And so, now we see, a once great divining. A blessed thing, an angel with splendid and beautiful wings. He held the favor of our Blood stained God. And now, for such a great sin of pride and hubris, such a yearning to know, and rule, and to be adored above all others, above all others. Even the great God on His eternal throne. So taken was the sin, and so swift the punishment. Doomed astray. Buried beneath a demonic carcass for all his wasted and slaughtered seeming. He hangs from his halo. That noose overgrown and cruel. Below his chin, slaughtered there. I give you the fallen angel. And below the waters in which we drown him now, you will hear him cry out. Desperately cry out to our God. The same God which casts him down. And in that casting down, there is no return. There is no return from where angels go to die. Twisting away atop the stinking boneyards. Beneath his curling horns, in that shadow, shall you remain in eternal darkness.



Angel/Demon
And so... slaughtered as I am, I see the true betrayer. It is not Lucifer. Not Satan. No Demon or Devil. But The He that will entertain challenge from none other. The Almighty He in the disgusting heavens.

I am unearthed. I am lifeless risen. And with scattered horns replaced, I am the powerless plea in the night. I am He. He the carnal. He the ravage. He the superior.

Outro
I am He the chosen Devil. And I will destroy you, great creator. Not by challenging your throne, but taking from you all that you love. All your little darlings upon the Earth. And I will come for them, in their weakest moments. In a great gnashing of teeth, I will devour all of them. You have made them a contest between us. And I swear upon the morning star... I will rise again from my wretched scorn. I will give you nothing. But take from you... EVERYTHING.

Their bones will build my palace. Their eyes will stud my crown. One thousand bleeding earths will be mine. I will rise from the boiling sea of pain and torment.. that place of peeled skin and hollowed carcasses. I will rise, and when I do... There. Will. Be. Blood.
