SIN EATER Lyrics

Your blood entwined in mine

Nightshade black, thick with a curse

In as much as our hearts were cast

In the ill tempered emptiness of god

Desperate for life

We burned our wings, we fell

Towards this mortal seething

First born now buried beneath skies

That cast a wormwood light

A star for poisoned purity

Each built a legacy from the vertebrae

Of those they professed to love

Scrawling new entries in the annals

Of human hatred

An act of forgiveness

Like a single drop of drought choked rain

The gift of this punishment

Above the din, a pale flame grew

A place no angel will ever see

Where myth gathers

Ten thousand blind generations

Lost in the tunnels of our own greed

Our light from anguish, a ghost torch

To peer ever further into shadow
