The Nightlight Sigil

By The Absolution Sequence

Remember thy name

Remember through gratitude

Gather the commune

Today we break our daily bread

And the belt begins to fall

It cracks to the beat of the broken ambience

The blood starts to clot

As it pools by the bedside

Only muted cries ring true in the house that God left empty

The floorboards threatening to crack

Under the weight of this sentiment

A truth so nеfarious brings chills to the bone

Sanctuary defilеd, now there's no place like home

So what's the punishment?

Help him meet his creator?

To end this cycle and reward them later?

I was but a trophy on the mantlepiece for them

Another one to bring to the depths

So excuse me for my lack of respect

But I welcome them to the state I've been in

Instead abandon the light

(Abandon the book, abandon the sign)

There's no shame in the great divide

So walk with me in sin, walk with me in freedom

'Cause it's all that remains in this void we're all so enamoured with

I was but a trophy on the mantlepiece for them

Another one to bring to the depths

So excuse me for my lack of respect

But I welcome them to the state I've been in

Tear me apart

Let there be nothing left but memories

From dirt which we come, to dirt we shall return

Labelled as hedonistic, unrealistic pigs amongst the mud

Just fighting for a fix

If only they knew (If only they knew)

If only they understood the damage they've done

Stigmata

We are just martyrs

Stigmata

We are unclean

I was but a trophy on the mantlepiece for them

Another one to bring to the depths

So excuse me for my lack of respect

But I welcome them to the state I've been in

Oh, formless one

Drape your fear right over me

Wash me with your shadows

The eyes no longer see

Stigmata

We are just martyrs

Stigmata

We are unclean

Televise this betrayal

But what becomes of us?

Are we a part of this tale?

Or one with the dust?
