[Verse 1]

Feral moon, oh, how you claw through time

My lone diluted friend

It is a hack job by default, it staggers on

No goal nor a means to an end

[Verse 2]

How the seams, they stitch a hardened cloth

Mended an outer guard

Whoa, the rings that makes the skin a chainmail

Rightfully bludgeoned and dragged through the bog

[Chorus]

And it came from above

There, a dirty red crook

Caught by the sun, blade glistening

Whoa, it's the shadow looming over

It's the nurture to prepare

Fixed upon your shoulder from a bloody lifetime of bеatings

[Post-Chorus]

A lifetime of beatings, child

A lifеtime of beatings

A lifetime of beatings, child

[Verse 3]

Daylight, it strains our limbs to carry

All through the tissue's mangled dawn

Our descent into the ether, star-like

Planted foot on throat

You find 'em softer than a slug's

[Verse 4]

With every new asphyxiation

Comes a greater gasp for air

An embryo hatched in the egg, the break of shell

Squint through the cracks, the brood, the cell

Born wet and needing, growing feathers to be plucked

[Chorus]

And it came from above

There, a dirty red crook

Caught by the sun, blade glistening

Whoa, it's the shadow looming over

It's the nurture to prepare

Fixed upon your shoulder from a bloody lifetime of beatings

[Outro]

Get ready

Get ready

Get ready for a lifetime of beatings

Get ready

Get ready

Get ready for a lifetime of beatings, child

A lifetime of beatings

A lifetime of beatings, child

A lifetime of beatings

Born wet and needing, growing feathers to be plucked
