Bloodless Lyrics

I first saw the blood when it covered my own hands

Tasted black death when it coated my white teeth

Bones cut meat I heard the scream of a grown man

Spittled croon thrown from a body just like me

I could only see the pine but heard a body and splashed brook

Covered my figure with brush in a hole

From a shadow grew another with a thorn and a black book

Pages rose red and script written in gold

Fingers dead black and cherry face made of burnt flesh

When the cloak fell it stood naked on wish stones

Flat belly grew with each breath like a bird chest

And when it exhaled it grew hair made of fish bone

Spine grew sugar loaf horns like an anthill

Mouth opened up and sprouted armies of bat teeth

Lungs knotted tight and brought the wind to a stand still

Water clotted blood and turned to oceans of flat feet

Dead man's body broke with tendrils of black stick

The twigs grew thick and shed bark turned to snake skin

Dead head turned to sand and hardened to stacked brick

Gold plated holes opened up they were caked in

Blood shit serum of cracked skulls

Mud sin dripping from raw flesh

Eyes sewn shut sinking ship in a black hull

Bodhi tree grows swollen leaf made of hog flesh

Children start screaming out of bellies of bonemeal

Maggots started falling from their face like an egg tooth

Families gather tight and fire turns them to chrome steel

God finally walks the earth spins as his legs move

Seated in a throne on a mountain of goat tongues

Patient watching muscles touch the air as they undress

Crafts one crown from the claws of his own sons

Flesh falls clean from my bones I am bloodless
