d**h In June - The Rat and The Eucharist lyrics

On the marble cliffs above the waves Beneath the rising inferno of history Exiled in the quickening twilight of salvation Awake to the light of a colder consciousness The decay and renewal of the blood of promise A faith without meaning? A discipline without justification? Devoid of the fear of nothingness Being born of nothingness The great immaculate inhuman pulse Behind the teeming carca** of false life On the marble cliffs above the waves Beneath the devouring inferno of history Exiled in the threatening twilight of salvation A hero turned traitor A traitor turned hero The a**a**in turned saint Our patron saint of murder Were these the last disciples of the lords of victory Bound and gagged on the whirling horns of destiny Gathering like ghosts at the broken altars of life To prey where vermin have carried the plague? Treachery and honur Like the double blade of life itself Pa**ing with the sun from the shadows of the world To fall to earth like so many shattered stars The burnt out and petrified tears of eternity On the marble cliffs above the waves Beneath the dying inferno of history Exiled in the fleeting twilight of salvation Hailing the light of the colder consciousness The renewal and the decay of the blood of promise
