lyrics

Sky glows red like embers under ashes 
The air ripples from city’s warm breath
 Streetlights and neon flicker on ice 
The people weep in their warm death 
Of restless sleep, for that which lies 
Beyond their minds 
Is tearing through their bliss

I have no fear for the holocaust skies
 My blood trickles and stains the snow 
Its strong scent reaches those I call 
My blood’s their milk, they feed and grow
 Lips soft as silk, I suckle them all
 And I quiver in pain
 For their teeth are sharp as lies

I’m filled with thoughts most unholy
 My lips frozen, I kiss the silver gun 
My voice echoes around the jewel box city
 Concrete buildings whisper: “You’re the One! 
Herald of Despair, Harbinger of Pity,
 Apostle of the Hated, 
the Messiah of Melancholy!”
