WINDS OF THE CHARNEL HOUSE


I thrive as the sun dies
Never again to lay its curse on me
Tonight the scars revolt
A horror show long in the making

The tremble in the eye of the beholder
As I live on the edge of the jagged dagger
Hang me out to dry
With corpses in the sky
I cross myself with strips of virgin sinew
And pray to the darkness for evil renewed

Winds of the frozen north chill my body
Join me when your heart stops beating
The blackened tome recites my fucking name
When you’re dreaming and screaming
I spit blood on every fucking page

The shadows grow deeper when cooling embers
Slowly die when the fading stars are dismembered
Cannibalize meat
And tenderize disease
I seem a little closer to Hell underground
As I wait for my turn to take up the crown

I strive for things denied
Reaching for the poison inside the cure
For what I’ll never be
I have never been so fucking sure

Winds of the charnel house wash my body
Join me when your heart stops beating
The blackened tome recites my fucking name
When you’re dreaming and screaming
I spit blood on every fucking page

I will be there at the end of the fucking world
Above the raging flames with my wings unfurled
Drenched in the blood of the dead and dying
High above the slaughter I’m your fucking king

WINDS OF THE CHARNEL HOUSE
WASH MY BODY

Winds of the charnel house wash my body
Join me when your heart stops beating
The blackened tome recites my fucking name
When you’re dreaming and screaming
I spit blood on every fucking page
