Sacrifice Of The Mass

They started the last rites The earth has opened wide I can hear my mother's voice Time for me to say goodbye I never learned how to love Those drugs weren't meant for healing I just gave for the sake of taking Now God will swallow me Now I hear the children chanting And the widows want to eat I think they've helped themselves To enough of my bad dreams Lay your head against my heart Can you feel me fading? The first burial that I've been to Tell the abyss to stop staring at me The greater the star The more violent its demise Maybe it was forced attrition When you pray, you cannot lie, oh The greater the star The more violent its demise Maybe it was forced attrition When you pray, you cannot lie, oh When we lifted the stone We should have known we'd be bitten by the snake below When we lifted the stone We should have known we'd be bitten by the snake below When we lifted the stone We should have known we'd be bitten by the snake below When we lifted the stone We should have known we'd be bitten by the snake below The greater the star The more violent its demise Maybe it was forced attrition When you pray, you cannot lie, oh The greater the star The more violent its demise Maybe it was forced attrition When you pray, you cannot lie, oh Mother can't mourn me Father won't win my fights I'm dressed in my mortuary best I'm ready for my ride The blood of the covenant is thicker Than the water of the womb They're waiting with open arms For me to join them soon
