Death supplies us with all the starlight
We admire the open graves
Of glowing carcasses that soothe our eyes with lullabies that can only be heard beneath the waves
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
I’ve wept for every creature.
I weep because they know not of the love I’d give
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
I stand to reach the reaper
Embracing grim procedures
Count my soul amongst the harvest
Death will deem me worthy
I feel every living thing
I am shown no mercy
I feel every living thing
Ask it all of me
With smiles redder than the baths of Bathory
But who am I to test her cosmic mastery
She said, “Our existence is the greatest blasphemy”
So I seek:
Veins rooted in soil
Oh tree of blood I’m begging for your memories
Where can I go
To be reunited with the extinct
Love is eternal worry
I feel every living thing
Conjure ibex to gore me
And lead me to all nonliving things
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Everything you do matters
They’ll fucking do all they can to make you forget
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
To all future cadavers
Abandon your acclimations to an arid, apathetic mass
One day I’ll blanket you inside my galaxy
And you’ll be at peace
We will glow for every living thing
