Carnicide Lyrics

In my fugue from Babylon
Seduced with her, I fell
But while I drunk her entrance wine
She lit the pyres of Hell

A harlot in Biblical scale was born
And claimed my meed feeding me in her latrine
With my own soul

Abhorrent - her name
Since those ancient days
Till her burial
Declaiming epitaphs
Through mouths like open graves
Knifed by her taste
My crimes made me a guilty fleuryan
But before God Himself
My spirit was required

I fell alone amidst the myriads on earth
Feeling the yoke of scorn demonizing my intentions
I was betrayed by maledictions of her words
When in my chest, they found plowed soul for their putrid seeds

The second night to fall
Is always darker than the first
In that I was the plague
Surviving to infect the herd

But once the poison was distilled
My viscera squirmed for first

And the most I evoked the devourer
Was the most I was the devoured

Eyes did not see
And ears did not hear what I did
Gomorrah did not dare to utter half her blasphemy
And then He came, a sun to blind one more Tarsian
His voice like many waters mercifully drowning my sin

Therein the serpent's tongue
Was silenced forever
For that was not able
To sound above the Lion's roaring
To hounds He has given
What remained of her in my atria
Thus from Heaven above to Midian's gates
All knew that she was gone!

The lit pyres consumed themselves to coal
There was celebration, and in that day, no saint was burnt for her

Sit on the ground without a throne, oh daughter of the Chaldeans
For thou shall no more be called tender and delicate, Babylon!

He reaped her cruelty like acres of atrocities
And fed the supplicating heralds beyond their dead queen

I would perish enamoured with her malady
But from her bed of filthiness, I escaped to be redeemed

Tremble before His presence
Imparadised sons in sin
Contemplate His majesty
