Exhuming, stricken life, a shapeless face

Pallet of dirt, blood, sweat, & smeared war paint

Demon above the blood sun

Tangerine skies, the coughs and cries

Piercing through conditioned and controlled

Riven stone, riven head

We’ve watched as it takes flight

Exhale, exhume, sharpen blade again

Pierced at cross, burned at stake, it reads the same

Sacred texts promised hope, feed our guilt

The beast within, it eats our sin

Sun bleached skies, chorus of lies

False promises of a purposeful life

Riven stone, riven head

We watch as it takes flight

Exhale, exhume, sharpen blade again

Formless entity, faithless oppresses

Relinquish our endless nightmare

Those remain, run along, hold the shore

Keep the form, a mother’s warn, of flashing lure

Fallow shines of what reminds

The fallen, the summoned, approaching
