Rusted Halo in the Pit

[Verse 1]
Rust on the altar
Teeth in the wine
Priest with a carcass crown
Drags his cross through the swine

Ash in the chalice
Incense reeks of rot
Children carving halos
Into their own soft throats

[Chorus]
Rusted halo in the pit
Wear it as the heavens split
Spit the scripture
Tear the veil
Crawl from grace with broken nails

[Verse 2]
Tongues sewn together
Choir hums in reverse
Eyes blooming maggots
As they choke on every verse

[low vocal register]
"Blessed be the void"
Carved into the pews
Congregation gnashing
On shattered
Burning truth

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[picked guitar over half-time drums]
Crown of wires
Branding flesh
Kneel in fire
Welcome death

[frenzied tremolo riff
Blast beat returns]
We raise our wounds
Like flags of bone
If this is faith
We walk alone

[Chorus]
