lyrics

Enthralled by joy from the screams of the eluent
Behold an impulse axon to amygdala
I have a dream spoken through prosthetic tongues
Betwixt the throes of reticent compulsion
Recurring themes exercised in idee fixe
Is this the antidote
Give to me give it
Obey me, I am the living word made into the flesh
Your high priest
I am the reason you're here after all
Ensued by beta stimulus
I approach offering a paradise of impending sleep
Your eyes look heavy with accents of sarcophagi
Obey me, I am the living word made into nameless graves you won't unearth
With simple wake and funeral dirge
Do you speak in forked tongue when you read my lexicon
Delta G is on the rise when the hissing starts leaking from my ossuary
A shining city on the hill
A coda for the comatose
Dreaming not dead not sleeping
Behold and revere
We sing for the revenir
Behold and revere
Feel pulses fade when he appears
Do you speak with forked tongues when you read my lexicon
Delta G is on the rise when the hissing starts leaking from my ossuary
Beware a shining city on the hill
This is the return of Auto-da-Fe
This is my reprisal
I've been burning at the stake
And just when you reached for my grave
A pall of severed tongues sang in cinerary flames
Dancing on my burrow to the tune of seven plagues
When you bear the teeth of my epicedium and they dance
They dance just for me
And you might just earn my blessing should you stay
And you don't have to hold your tongue but you might just watch what you say because
This is the return of Auto-da-Fe
This is my reprisal
I've been burning at the stake
