- - - 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
