Towers Upon Towers - 1349

Behind flickering contorted faces

Phantom claws move hidden hands

On pathways of least resistance

Worn to bone by rats and sainted lies

As words of filth hails heaven high

Hossanas choke on children’s skin

Towers upon towers

Masks behind masks

Filth upon filth

Rib upon ash

Towers upon towers

Scraping the skies

Bone upon bone

Lie upon lie

Limbs upon limbs

Soul upon soul

Sin upon sin

Lie upon lie

Towers upon towers

Masks behind masks

Filth upon filth

Rib upon ash

Towers upon towers

Scraping the skies

Bone upon bone

Lie upon lie

Limbs upon limbs

Soul upon soul

Sin upon sin

Lie upon lie

Sanctimonious vultures' necrotic dance

Like hungry wolves upon altars of flesh

You shall eat the offspring of your own stinking bodies

Visiting your father’s sins upon own butchered lambs

The lingering stench of grotesque parody ever present

Ember by crumbling ember, last dying fire, fading slow

Creeping into feeble mind like lice

Searing veins like sweetest poison

Now cut the skin and eat my flesh

Towers upon towers

Masks behind masks

Filth upon filth

Rib upon ash

Towers upon towers

Scraping the skies

Bone upon bone

Lie upon lie

Towers upon towers

Masks behind masks

Filth upon filth

Rib upon ash

Towers upon towers

Scraping the skies

Bone upon bone

Lie upon lie
