Dave Otero - Rite of the Slaying Tongue lyrics

[Intro:] [3x] Om, throttle, throttle, stand, stand, bind, bind Slay, slay, burn, burn, bellow, bellow, blast, blast We are as neophytes within the hoary temple of the dead The contemplators of all states of loathsomeness We dance with the denizens of the charnel ground In the glow of the funeral pyre Beneath the black arch of desolate night We are the skull-bearers Who would dare to sound the thigh-bone trumpets To call forth our murdering shadows May their darkness eat at our flesh And thresh the profane body from subtle bones We are the consumers and we are the consumed We offer the horrid oblations of our skin We offer the dread libations of the blood of our hearts We sate d**h's shadow, that which ever hungers We call forth unclean eidolons Husks of self. Come ye forth From dens of inner depravation As we swirl in maddening frenzy Through the midnight marshes to awake them In their ravenous and desperate hunger Our horns beseech the very Lord of d**h To drive his trident Through the three chambers of our existence In throws of ecstatic d**h We rend the fabric of the world To gaze with a fixed serpent iris Into the darkness that is beyond darkness Oh Devi, without knowledge of thy power Liberation is mere mockery! Oh Devi-L, without knowledge of thy power Liberation is mere mockery! Speech of the Slaying Tongue Black breath of fire Burning wind of my mouth Raising shadow from pyre My self-murdering darkness Oh, famished ones come Heed the winds of dread will Hear the call of my tongue Fire as breathe I utter my end Bringing shadows of d**h to gnash and to rend!
