Devoured Lyrics

(I): As the skull is pierced
And the shrouds and stones are rolled away
A mother’s grief left unconsoled

As my solace was in seven
In forever’s tears unbound
So to me she turns

(Mother): I’LL STAND FOR BABYLON
A MATRIARCH TORN
I STARE INTO THE VOID
GAPING RAW AT HIS RIGHT HAND

(I): She leads the way
(Mother): I LEAD THE WAY
DRUNK ON THE BLOOD OF SAINTS
(I): For rent was a sun from the heavens

For the failing comes
But not from the child
For the failing comes from the father
For the failing comes from the father
For the failing comes
But not from the child

(Mother): NO!
YAHWEH!
BY YOUR WRATH!
MY CHILD DEVOURED!


His council impaled
Her reason devoured

Temptations wings flutter the strongest
To oppose a will sanctified
