How Dark We Pray - High On Fire

Serpent came to Eve from Tiamat

Immortality was known by man

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Spirit assassin dressed in black before your shrine

A woman’s coffin sending shivers up my spine

Nailed are hands upon the cross so intertwined

A saintly mother sacrificed before your hive

They drink the life

They eat of flesh

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

The brain washed ghost of thought endless lies have come to bind

Four thousand years of mystery surrounding the signs

The Children scream aloud when pain and guilt align

The failing mass of contradiction in their finds

They drink the life

They eat of flesh

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Shadows on the day of philstia

All will have to seek of Visigoth

The Serpent came to Even with a message from Tiamat

Death and immortality was known to man

Three had become four and five

Lilith had taken to conception

and was cursed to unearth where demons

and man did not dwell together

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Oh, how dark we pray

Serpent came to Eve from Tiamat

Immortality was known by man
