Lyrics
Brick by brick the night eclipsed
Pricked by cuticle thorns
Dried the sleep on nursery slits
Into this life I'm born
Heaven's just a scab away
I'd like to see you after just one taste
Oh, oh, oh
Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight
Night forever more
Let them see it has begun
The others I've become
If you should see the dice
Charmed with its snaked choked eyes
You'll wear the widows weeds
Because they're just your size
(Oh, oh)
Behind the snail secretion
Leaves a dry heave that absorbs
A limbless procreation
Let the infant crawl deformed
A bag replace the breath
Of these suffocating sheets
And now when the craving calls
I'll scratch my itchy sheath
And soon
Come on, if you don't know
Come on, if you don't know
Come on, if you don't know
Sink your teeth into the flesh into the flesh of midnight
Night forever more
Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight
Night forever more
She fell for the whispers
Sister flooded deaf tears
That night tore a river
In her barren womb mirror
And his multiple sons
With their mandible tongues
Set crucified fires to petrified homes
L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Let it burn
I want, I want, I want, I want to let it burn (yeah)
And the owls they were watching
And the owls didn't care
Then the owls came a' knocking
Placenta in their stares
They will feed on all the carnage
Leftover from the flood
And in the corner of their eyes
Fled sister L'Via
Sister L'Via
Now the pieces went floating
Reflecting all at dusk
Conveived from the stabbing
Was Vismund Cygnus
25 wives in the lake tonight
25 wives in the lake tonight
25 wives in the lake tonight
25 wives in the lake tonight
25 wives in the lake tonight
25 wives in the lake tonight
