Jarboe - The Believers lyrics

the believers dance in front the altar the believers strip their clothes the believers give their bodies the believers for Her glory sacrifice their own daughters the believers chant her name they place flowers at her feet the believers drink her blood the believers: lambs to the slaughter sacred words they hear the sacred words they feel they feel the sacred touch the touch the touch the sacred words they hear the sacred words they feel they feel the sacred touch the touch the touch the... in a trance the priestess has fallen possessed, no longer herself the priestess became the goddess vain goddess of the sea risen she is an expression of their nameless hunger she is an expression of both the good and evil she's become the mother of their nameless hunger sacred words they hear the sacred words they feel they feel the sacred touch the touch the touch and they who've laid down their weapons are no longer soldiers but have become all the drowned children who feel no pain they reveal treasures hidden on the bottom of the sea for centuries and 3 blind man will wander canes above their able heads through eternity... blind men all in a line who'll never see will wander wander aimlessly they are blindmen, they'll never see they will travel blind through eternity
