lyrics

I lift my hands
I lift my hands above my head
I lift my hands above my head I look upon the face burning
Eyes burning blood burning I look upon the face
I look upon the face
I look upon the face
I grip the black horns and I look upon the face
Eyes blacker than space and I lift my hands burning
Heart burning blood splitting scream and I look upon the face
I look upon the face
I look upon the face

*Oh, the warm skin, my heart
My dead tongue awakens
I let my hands rise
As I leave my dead world

My hand, clenched in the light
The sharp claws, the warm life
Slowly, this heart of mine
Goes up in flames*

I bite the tongue that speaks in me
I bite the tongue that speaks in me
I bite the tongue that speaks in me and spit it out dead skin dead flesh
Empty threats empty hands empty promises and I am possessed
I boil in the black blood of the blessed and I am the god of horns
I bring the fire
I bring the fire burning desire
I am the breaker of the words I am the god of liars

I am the black churning waters of the dreaming reptile mind
I am the spark of life and blood and hope and rage and pain inside
I am the calling, unholy lust, I will not be satisfied
I am the red man
I am the red man
I am the red man and I am coming

*Oh, and how the blood is boiling
Streaming in the veins
How it lights up
My eyes

And the will
Is burning, cold like ice
I am falling upwards
Above the sky*
