Churning in the earth Spewing from the bowels Can you hear the demons Can you hear them howl Slitering into every orifice Like the trees growing roots into the flesh Of the forest No remembrance for the dead No solace for the damned Their bodies nourish my land Black wings of sorrow Circle above They're waiting for your final breath to expel Releasing you from your shell Ripped apart by talons like daggers Yet your regrets are all that matter In the midst of your pain You're still reflecting on the past In the family portrait you see a silhouette of me You can hear my voice but you could never see me
I was always a member of the family Hanging from the tree in the lawn A rope around your neck Watching all of it burn Your mother and father Lifelessly hanging beside you Watch it burn Watch it burn Looking at your brother Looking back from the window engulfed in flame You can hear his screams You can hear his screams Gently singing you to sleep Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the mire my soul to take If I should die before I wake I pray the mire my soul to take I pray the mire my soul to take I pray the mire my soul to keep If I should die before I wake I pray the mire my soul to take
