She is hidden in plain sight The queen of infernal might Together we'll venture below To a place without light Waiting for the final blow You must drink from what I am I'll be the sacrificial ram Solace, only in death Inside their earthen tomb A glance of impending doom As life drains for my veins I can't wait to be exhumed No rest for my remains You must drink from what I am I'll be the sacrificial ram Solace, only in death An eye white as snow Observance through fog Wisdom she'll bestow My rotting demagogue You must drink from what I am I'll be the sacrificial ram For you, my Abraham

Mother Bloom 04:21
Her ashes amongst the seeds Beneath the grass and weeds I don't know why I put a stop to you I'll pray to mother bloom I hope she'll bring you back I can't wait to exhume There is no looking back no more In a dance with you once more Petals and vines caressing me Let the soil be the earthen door This time I'll let you be free I'll pray to mother bloom I hope she'll bring you back I can't wait to exhume There is no looking back no more Do not let the roots take hold Down there, in the cold You did not grow old But you will, as marigold I'll pray to mother bloom I hope she'll bring you back From the earthen womb There is no looking back no more I'll pray to mother bloom That you'll come back to life You know I will be your groom And that you will be my wife

One by one They stood their ground Soon undone By a shattering sound She knew not of war Only life turning to ash She need not answer for The immense backlash A flash of white A rain of deathly delight A fiery swarm Only ash above I see only ash Only ash above I see ash above Only ash above I see ash above An usurper crowned A people drowned By the fiery swarm Only ash above I see only ash Only ash above I see ash above Only ash above I see ash above

Waterways 03:50
Waking up on a throne of stones In a blackened sea Water flowing all around me Grasping for air, as they slash and tear Reborn in mud Sudden lust for blood As I adorn a crown of twigs and bones I've found the secret key Hear my final plea Take the fight and defeat the night A legion in the thorns Demon without horns Into the filth and beyond In the darkness a sacred bond Beneath the waterways Into the filth and beyond In the darkness a sacred bond Beneath the waterways How could I not see That the poison is me I am the venomous sea That's why nothing can be Into the filth and beyond In the darkness a sacred bond Beneath the waves

Whispers spreading like wildfire "The king is dead, the king is dead" Higher and higher, a message so dire "The king is dead, yes, the king is dead" Don't know why this was my burden to bear There he is slumped over his chair Drenched in blood, draped in gold How did my heart become so cold? Dagger in hand, venomous greed Power left behind When the dust settles I have to wear a mask To be ready for this task Shouting outside, black smoke rise "The king is dead, the king is dead" Ascending in rank due to his demise "The king is dead, yes, the king is dead" I know why this was my burden to bear There I am an adviser light as air Childless ruler, I'm next in line No one knows the price I payed Dagger in hand, venomous greed Red is the blade When the dust settles I have to wear a mask To be ready for this task When the dust settles I have to wear a mask To be ready

Empusa 03:41
Twisting into form Drawn into the swarm Beautiful and warm Lust, a violent storm She is out to feed Triumph is decreed I will surely bleed My life she will need Drink my blood Eat my flesh Hold me down in the mud Tempting and young Seductive tongue She danced and sung just to feed Gaze into the void Am I paranoid? Violently destroyed Yet I'm overjoyed Look into my eyes As all slowly dies Scream into the skies Queen of blood, arise Drink my blood Eat my flesh Hold me down in the mud Tempting and young Seductive tongue She danced and sung just to feed Drink my blood Eat my flesh Hold me down in the mud Tempting and young Seductive tongue She danced and sung to me just to feed Just to feed on me
