Carrion Lyrics

Carrion lyrics

Lurking in the shade

Of dark and fragrant trees

Shirking from the rage

That tore the heavens free



A vagrant angel

His with span to see

The garden swell with terrors

To banish man and Eve



Another fall from grace

Whiplashed from the gates

Half naked and insane

Full blooded, breasted

Nerve ends tested

To behests of pain



A sombre lot to gain



As the storm slid in

Borne by carnal winds

The upper ether thinned

And therein sat abominations



Satan seated there

To savoring the reek of desolation

But their dank despair

Moved his speech to leech the air



"Behold the golden door

Paradise is lost

So praise me as you raised your Lord

And I shall thaw this gnawing frost"



Another fall from grace

Whiplashed from the gates

Half naked and insane

And destined for a spiteful fate



Wherein evil sought the shamed

As pawns in greater stakes

Across this cosmic game

To win the hand of darkness and

Set her in her rightful place



Cursed is the ground for thy sake

In sorrow thou shalt eat of it all the days of thy life

Thorns also and thistles shall bring it forth to thee

And thou shalt eat the herb of the field



In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread

Till thou return unto the ground

For out of it was thou taken

For dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou now return



With that the pact was sealed

And as creation reeled

Bewitched oration filled

The hearts of all

Who came to crawl

Upon these earthen fields



A sombre lot to till



A wracked black acid song

Spat from the massive throng

Of Seraph knelt along

The deep red welt to domination



The deep red welt to domination

(Domination, domination, domination)

The deep red welt to domination

(Domination)

The deep red welt to domination
