- - - ALL SAINTS BURNING - - -


I've been starving the light
The Morningstar within the Fall
Wicked angels defile my word
And carve it in the midnight sky

Baleful tears wash away pride
Rage consumes the dead heart inside
Burning embers spell my name
While swirling in the midnight sky

Cruelty, torment and throes of ecstasy
When all saints are burning in agony

Devoured by the mouth of madness
Writhing in eternal darkness

Writhing in the night

The exorcism of the angel within

Hands are held for prayers
Hold them up, steepled to Heaven
And cast you woes upon me
Alas, you will not find me there

Harrow the holy fair
The unchaste among the righteous
Smear my name upon the walls
I'll cast it off without a care

Cruelty, torment and throes of ecstasy
When all saints are burning in agony

Devoured by the mouth of madness
Writhing in eternal darkness

Writhing in the night

The exorcism of the angel within

Baptized in celestial ichor
Spilled by an obsidian sword
Forged in infernal flames
I stand before the dying Lord
Sanctified with murderous sin
Beckon others to heed the call
If I were not banished
Then know that I would gladly fall

Cruelty, torment and throes of ecstasy
When all saints are burning in agony

Inspired by the mouth of madness
Crawl in perpetual darkness

Crawling in the night

The exorcism of the angel within

Cruelty, torment and throes of ecstasy
When all saints are burning in agony

Devoured by the mouth of madness
Writhing in eternal darkness

Writhing in the night

The exorcism of the angel within
