lyrics

My million flying mouths I cast
Into the skies to drink at last
They swarm upon the skin of night
Exsanguinate in ancient spite

Diseas-ed, specked with dreaded tokens
Of that which must not be spoken
The Firmament withers, perforated
The plague must rage till fully sated

The carnivorous swarm
Ascends
To the starry sky
The skin of the
Gods

Besieging the Great Membrane
Satiate my thirst
Sky slayers
Feast now, on an ichorous ocean

Praise the towering night God
Blood-master supreme
The emperor of the insects
Spawned from Sekhmet’s dream

We, his many children
Seek out his desire
Nocturnally pursuing
And never shall we tire

No longer will we consume
The common blood of earth
Our master craves the golden
Fluids of solar birth

The currents of stars pulse red with pain
Lunar Epistaxis, bleeding rain
Now collapsing walls of varicosed flesh
Drain and shrivel at my behest

The abysmal drone of winged singers
Long past the end will sickly linger
The insect fingers of my thirst
Claw the Swollen Sky to Burst

Stab with a million knives
Drink the sky
Spatter the constellations
Leave none alive
