Embrace The End - The Father's Right Hand (My Lai) lyrics

rate me

Justify the malevolence Nullify betrayal A soft moon rises igniting a world below Dear father rotting above Cast a shadow of doubt through me Taste the fucking blood from my mouth The vulgar display of charity you bestow Hear me mother shining below your sun-parched flesh offers me no warmth Defiled by the lusting blades of every lonely suicide Every screaming heart that ceases to beat Your skin has grown porous yet we shed not a tear Always looking straight ahead An empty vessel Our heads laid across the slaughtering block With no remorse Forever silenced through the pale In every darkened corner the sound of the axe will resonate Unforgiving Through every star-spangled eye the line becomes blurred With finger on the trigger Reliving the horror each night A victim Lost forever A burning effigy of who you once were Quench this ineffable thirst to be whole again Blind leading the blind Raped and castrated The blind leading the betrayed The pain of chasing phantom limbs Even through morphine eyes you can still see what's inside Now carry this addiction A monument to a heroic heart To be whole again All This time To be whole again Bleed me of this agony My infallible deception Amputee of the heart and by design Beware The shepherd has the teeth of a wolf Bastardized deliverance No pomp or pride bestowed Only broken lives waiting for the bell to toll
