Worm Tongue

A promise made by forked tongues
A promise laced in lies, then laced in sin
No escape no love no glory
Stop talking
Stop lying
Worm tongue
The cycle never ending
Worm tongue
Another broken mind unmending
Worm tongue
Prey on the worthless with nothing to lose
Worm tongue
In your ivory tower with nothing to prove
I've made my own worst enemy
He speaks in whispers
He speaks in riddles that crawl through your ears
A forked tongue hidden behind a smile
Another victim of constant denial
Fulfil their purpose
Expendable and worthless
Pretend that it's not hopeless
You paint yourself so selfless
Oh, holy holy paint yourself so divine
The paint has dried and cracked
Reveal your insides
Reveal the rot
Your lies and cowardice reflect your insides
We kneel before the throne unaware that it was built on lies
Every waking moment a bit more of your spirit dies

Council of Wyrms
03:21

The cold dark
Surrounding the pale moon
A delegating faceless evil
One more
King among the rot
Another ritual to suffer
Show me to the council
A higher power of flesh and bile
Force worship
Gain power
You can't stand on splintered heels
A thousand eyes are staring
Watching when you think you're alone
Your god shrouded in darkness
You cannot see that which has no form
Underneath the unrelenting pressure
Bones crack and hope loses
Bow to your god
Hands bound in constant prayer
Mouth sewn shut
Hear nothing say nothing
Do as your told
Drilled in and taken root
Do as your told
Do as your told
Servant of holiness
Do as your told while you're blind to the truth
Oh god
What have I become?

Whispers in tongues
Concerned you're never gonna break them
The waning sun
Gaze upon watch the darkness engulf them
The bell has rung
See them bow see them pray stand above them
None dare to run
Scared by all of the false truths you've told them
No weakness no regret
A watchful gaze cast over
You see only enemies
Your mind becomes a prison
No mortal can escape
By your hand these walls cave in
These walls cave in
Everything is closing in
You preach you're holier than thou
Just one more tally to the list
A scared boy hiding behind a mask
Cracks in the porcelain show
The face, revealing
It's lonely at the top
Concealing
The need to cover it up
Your mind
Grows vacant
Consumed by all of the hate
You harbour
It festers
Consuming all you see in darkness
Consuming all you see in dark
No amount of fear can hold us together
Kings on thrones of rot

Sermon

I can't
I can't
I can't contest
I bow before a god of flesh
And so you give your service
Sacrifice pick the flesh off the bone
Fall to your knees and pray for instruction
A god made of flesh stands before you
And it hungers only for power
Oh merciful god
How you fell so unjustly to grace us all
My body, willing
My body, broken
Blood sacrifice
Been chosen
Another pawn can't make moves on your own
Strings tighten
You puppet
Human sacrifice, beg to atone
With one hand make us think you give freely
With the other you taketh away
My faith dried up, I'm empty and aching
I'm barely bleeding through this carapace of stone
And as I lay under the sky (Tomentum Aeternum)
The stars grow dark (Tomentum Aeternum)
And life starts to fade
Cut open, gutted (Tomentum Aeternum)
Eviscerated
Color slips from vibrant to grey (Tomentum Aeternum)
Not like you
Beaten
Broken
Under a cloudless sky
Beaten
Broken
Left in the dirt to die
Tomentum Aeternum
Tomentum Aeternum

And so your past has made a sudden appearance
Suppress the fear and keep it locked up inside
Decisions made with the lack of a conscience
Stand on the corpses of your fractured mind
Turn back the clocks
And reset the timer
Stay here watch it all over again
Live your life in a loop
Disciples recycled
Once blind pretend to let them in
You are both everything and nothing
Cloak and dagger take the knife from my back
Cast them out
Drag them back in again
Spin a web of lies to keep them keen
Another servant
Another vessel
Another forced to their knees made to pray
False god
False prophet
With words like poison make them think what they're doing is right
Under the mask
A serpentine face concealed
A silent voice screaming to the void
Don't lift the veil
Don't let them see
Don't let them in
Proselytist
You spread your will like disease
Pray on the broken and lure them in
A toothless husk barely holding together
Under their feet the ice slowly wearing thin
Ice cracks, it breaks
Another person dragged down to the darkness
Such pain, it takes
Lost to the void and spat back here among us
A soulless shape
Beyond the pale of the person who raised us
Take their mind
Take their mind and surely their body will follow
Another slave to your will another drone on their knees
Repeat the cycle
Repeat the cycle
Proselytist
