Severance and Perseverance Lyrics

Lend me 10,000 knives to kiss this burning flesh, to deform and savage
To carve, to rend, and cut - these jawless teeth which bite and cast to death
Lend me 10,000 nights for self-wrought torture and unending misery
To pierce with the same gleaming blades that will destroy all our duality
These wounds intone black spells of noetic strength
The power to embrace storms, the knowledge to destroy worlds
To sever time and fuck thee fecund black madonna
And knot all threads of conquered fate
That calcify with every spate
Of laboured breaths that yet churn seas
Granted the wounds of another birth, torture me
By this endless torture
Granted the prayers of bone-deep scars
I will kill everything you love
I will kill everything you are
Severance... Perseverance...
