The Crown

from The Invitation by Vetis

/

lyrics

Bury your child – bring me its head
I cannot feast until its blood has been shed
Cut off the scalp – pull out the brain
Another life lost is another I gain

Sharpen the dagger – polish the blade
Slit your wrists if you are afraid
Open the cellar – turn off the light
It will not help you make it through the night

I wear the crown
You are my children
Kneel at my throne
Beg for forgiveness
Live by my rule
All shall applaud
I am the killer
I am your fucking god

I’ve come to the woods to feed the fear of others
The book of their worship is nothing but covers
I’ll build the fire to keep the peace
The practice we learn is the one that we teach
I’ll live for my sanity while they pray for my soul
Their fear in the world continues to grow
I’ll love nothing if there’s nothing to love
When we beg to the sky, hell will reign from above

I’ve come to the woods to feed the fear of others
The book of their worship is nothing but covers
I’ll build the fire to keep the peace
The practice we learn is the one that we teach
I’ll live for my sanity while they pray for my soul
Their fear in the world continues to grow
I’ll love nothing if there’s nothing to love
When we beg to the sky, hell will reign from above

I’ve come to these woods to feed the fear of others
The book of their worship is nothing but covers
I’ll build you a fire to keep the peace
The practice they learned is the one that they teach
I’ll live for my sanity while they pray for my soul
But their fear of the world, it continues to grow
I’ll love nothing if there’s nothing to love
When they beg to the sky, hell will reign from above

I speak in blood… the blood of the serpent’s tongue

Enter the chapel – fall to your knees
You’ll eat your tongue if it does not offer praise
No one to call to – no one to save
My altar will be your grave

I wear the crown
You are my children
Kneel at my throne
Beg for forgiveness
Live by my rule
All shall applaud
I am the killer
I am your fucking god

I am your fucking god

I am the bounty
I am the law
I am the killer
I am all that is flawed
