Bring Out Your Dead

Bring out your dead

Primordial curse, earth born slave
Unrivalled passage to the grave
A hideous plight from a touch so slight
Runs amok the day

Cauterize the living flesh
Blackened house of blood
Painted symbols above the doorway
Cast out the flood

Bring out your dead

Weary betrothed, no escape
It will turn to face each move you make
On the journey into the dismal light
Treacherous creature freed of life

Consuming flesh by slow decay
Creeping death abroad this day
Hear the burning witness wail
If blood runs, the breath will fail

Waiting among the dead for death to come
Abandoned child, forgotten son
To conquer and conquering
Upon a pale horse
Merciless pestilence roars

Piling high the mortal rain
Into the pit of bodies slain
Marked for death by knowing eyes
By rootless phantom, stripped of life

Hear the burning witness wail
If blood runs, the breath will fail

Delirium, climbing the walls
Morbid paradise of pain
Fallen by the wayside
With nothing left to regain

Funereal
Wretched gloom so dismal
Suffering
Becomes the life of all

Weary betrothed, no escape
It will turn to face each move you make
On the journey into the dismal light
Treacherous creature freed of life

Bring out your dead
