hang your head and wait
bask, o fool!
in ignorant light
in silence, sickness
rot from within
bask, o coward!
in dying light
in silence, weakness
sentinel stare
hang your head and wait
hang your head and wait
hang your head and wait
exhale flame
blacken the sky
choke the light
from their eyes
hang your head
beg forgiveness
at the end of a rope
give him rope
hang him high
cut him down
hang your head and wait

The Tide

feel my decay
like a shore that’s washed away
breathe in the sea
i can feel her calling me
stare in the deep
feel the rage wash over me
rhythm of escape
gravity i cannot break
willing to erode
for the abstract of a home
promise of a life
burned to ash and dust
battered cold and lone
need a shelter from the storm
i’ve no reason left to stay
strike a match and walk away
drown me in despair
suffocating waves
pull me in again
please let me leave
taken by the sea
reach out for me

cast yourself in the light
famished heart
withered head
plagued each step
crave release
cast yourself in the light
burn your shame in the sun

on the heels of your life
he’ll gnash, foam-mouthed
bloody eyes
heavy hands
the trail is cold
obscured by smoke
lost and alone
he watches all
ensnared by thought
a tomb of bone
another’s hands are
dragging you down
at the edge of sand
draw breath once more
stare out at a dead sea
lost not alone
the apostate
formless twin
mirror, martyr
bleed the same
bloody eyes
heavy hands
a tomb of bone
accept the scorn
stare out, out to your grave
stare down into your grave
stare out, stare down
into your grave
fed to the canyon mouth

feel you reach for the nails
face to face with the fear
put me up in the tree
pierce my soul, bleeding out
feel you grasp for the throat
broken down, I accede
offer light through the storm
feel you reach for the nails
strike the rock with the steel
face to face with the truth
i await final rest
feel you reach for the fire
rise
light
your heart so pale
my faith so frail
your heart so pale
my faith so frail

The Flood

you bring me alive
but something's changed
pulled from the light
down too deep
i follow you
to your black escape
a colder embrace
than crashing waves
empire of depths
she drags me down
under the waves
she wears the crown
in cycles
in circles
a path of gravestones
bleed
feed
repeat
breathe
feel
redeem

More gnashing, blackened sludge goodness from the French metal band, texturally filthy and forceful throughout.
