Carcass Symphony - Netherbird

At dusk they will awake

A ghost dance ball room

As the sun is slaked

At dusk they spring to life

And their damp grey concrete hive

Bathing in fluorescent light

Temples with worms

Praying they’ll be butterflies

To be able to move like the wind

If only for a while

In the glistering halls

Dead bodies swing to the melody

Crystal mirror walls

Reflecting the carcass symphony

In the lost souls ball room

Where dead tissue breathe

Dead they all seem

Dead they all are, dead to me

I see broken dolls

Their venomous smiles cover grief

In the glistering halls

Dead you are invisible

They never see anyone

They stare right through

Among the crystal pillars

The insects play make-believe

I see broken dolls

Their venomous smiles cover grief

Crystal mirrors reflecting unseeing eyes

Crimson lipped mouths spitting their lies

They are all lost, they are all hollow

They are empty inside

Stay away from them

Ignore their siren songs

These genderless whores

Pass by their temples, forever walk on

In the glistering halls clod flesh swing

A ghost dance for the false

Crystal mirror walls, entangled in lies

On and on the waltz on

We the sulfur kissed

The ones to walk the path twilit

Among the living and torn

Among the alive and battle worn

The sweet promise of grandeur

In defiance of and end that must come

In the ghost dance ball room

Where the soothing lies are sung

I am rather the sulfur kissed

The one to walk the path twilit

Among the living and torn

Among the alive and the battle worn

We are the proudly flawed

The last children of the fall

We are the sulfur kissed

We walk the path twilit

We are the proudly flawed

The last children of the fall

We are the sulfur kissed

We walk the path of twilight
