White Storm of Teeth - The Devil's Blood

I rip through the chains of Mars

Astride his mare and roan

(as) war bellows blazing free

That rock

That vicar

And that flower

Today I’ll put them to sleep

Your wings have risen up against my foes

And Your winds blow into my sail

And set me upon this path of burning thorns

That bends as the Devil’s tail

Open heart

Closed eyes

Trembling hands tear apart the chain

What saint’s decree

Can hold me back

Now that Your name is known to me?

«for Your chants to reverb on the walls of my mind

Their truth diligently unfurled

For the Living Death in grotesque glory to walk

From my dreams into the world»

A bony hand

Upon my shoulder

Leads me from day into night

And from the void

Into the air

I follow you sleepily

From the air

To the sea

I follow you uncertainly

From the sea

To the earth

I follow you determinately

Through the earth

Into the fire

I follow you confidently

From the fire

Into the void

I follow you eternally

Within the godhead

Within the abyss

And from on high

I reach down into the world

I am thrust

Through the air

Particle swarm

Gaining speed

Friction builds

I am perceived

I go where gravity wills

The sky it yields

Before my fall

An empty husk

I am fulfilled

And filled with rain

A falling moon

I neither wax nor wane

As fiery birds

Crumble and die

In the wake of wings

Scorching aether

I come along

I land in salt

(to be) neither psalm nor song

At grotesque speed

I break the glass

I am moved through

Soul torn apart

Blackthorn wreath

Lungs fill with brine

As I slowly slip beneath

A deep blue glow

Of endless chance

Sends up its hands

Grasping claws

Tendrils bore

Into my skin

(and) replace what was before

I am reassembled

Through witching love

Sirens call

And pass me by

My ears burst

With the force of Death

That stills my endless thirst

It seems as though

The open sea

Endless void

Pregnant with rage

Impedes my birth

Forever lost

I set my nails into earth

As I writhe

Over scaly stone

Coral of blood

Exquisite pain

There’s not a sound

Awake I dream

That I’m absorbed in ground

I become aware

Of intense force

Choking my lungs

Halting my pulse

Drowning in mire

I pass, like night

From soil into fire

I grasp and reach

For nothingness

A final death

So loved not mourned

A final test

A break of laws

At His enduring behest

Chaotic swirl

Of ravenous flame

Nuclear decay

Dead atom-sphere

Unleash hell

And from this point

Time has nothing to tell

Among melting stone

My skin retreats

Magnesium bites

White storm of teeth

Into my soul

Carbon to ash

I am swallowed hole

I fall into

The spaceless space

The timeless time

The endless end

Neither here nor there

Above or below

Into the night I go
