Bridge of Broken Bones Lyrics

VENOMOUS CLUSTERS RESONATE BETWEEN BARS OF A CAGE
AWAKENING THE SHADOWS, POISONING ALL THAT IS REAL
A DAMP FILTHY RAG SHOVED DOWN THE THROAT
A SMOTHERING VEIL THROUGH WHICH NO LIGHT WILL PASS
GASPING FOR AIR IN A WORLD SUBMERGED IN BILE

DRAGGED FROM LIFE, OVER A SEA OF SULPHUR
ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF BROKEN BONES
INTO CRYPTS OF FIRE, INTO ENDLESS NOTHING
ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF BROKEN BONES

DISEASE-RIDDEN PARASITE, AN ANCHOR OF BURDEN
DAWNSWALLOWER YANKING THE CHAIN FROM BELOW
THE WOMB OF HOPE GIVES BIRTH TO A STILLBORN CHILD
SOAKED IN CASCADES OF DISAPPOINTMENT
INJECTS ANESTHETIC OF UNFULFILLED DREAMS

NUMB ALL THE SENSES
THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
THAT WAS ONCE IN BLOOM
NOW WITHERS AND DIES
