He Who Spawned the Furies - Trivium

The afterbirth has barely dried

When the king of ruling time

Comes with a sickle in his hand

To devour

Devour

Descendant of chaos

Devour

Castrated the father

Devour

Fearing his overthrow

Devour

Swallowed his children whole

Take your teeth out of me

I have just begun to breathe on my own

I don’t know what this is These eyes can hardly see what is eating me The prisoners rotting in their cells

Children of this godless hell

Digesting in acidic blood

The devoured

Devour

Descendant of chaos

Devour

Castrated the father

Devour

Fearing his overthrow

Devour

Swallowed his children whole

Take your teeth out of me

I have just begun to breathe on my own

I don’t know what this is These eyes can hardly see what is eating me He who spawned the furies

Severed the genitals of his father

Creating such beauty: the goddess of love

But the blood that fell to the ground

Made the erinyes

He who spawned the furies

Wreathed with serpents

Eyes dripping blood

Winged tormentors of criminals

Take your teeth out of me

I have just begun to breathe on my own

I don’t know what this is These eyes can hardly see what is eating me
