F.E.A.S.T
I rip at the flesh and gnaw on the bone
The numbness dissolving things we call home
Agonizing prophets, knife in the back
You paint me with lies so at least paint me black
Fight or flight, day to night
Living with another lie
Feasting once again
Every fucking year
At least let me die
Suffering for nothing
Take whatever comes
Feasting, feasting
F.E.A.S.T
I welcome the spirits of yesteryear
Maggots remain within everything you fear
Devour the rancid scraps that I choose
To serve at your table ‘fore the hangman’s noose
Feasting once again
Every fucking year
At least let me die
Suffering for nothing
Take whatever comes
Feasting, feasting
F.E.A.S.T
To sever the ties
These veins denied
My heartless void
Can’t keep you alive
SO YOU CAN PAINT ME BLACK
Feasting once again
Every fucking year
At least let me die
Suffering for nothing
Take whatever comes
Feasting, feasting
F.E.A.S.T
