lyrics

Lyric by Rahn

Prod on past pillars, pale and vaulted
Each clad in ceremony, slaves exalted
Proceed to the pedestal, and there halted
Chattel, cattle, lamb, man—innocents faulted

With scepter gilt in consequence
And draped in mail of confidence
A king in errant quest of providence
Stays the soft command of conscience

With keening mouths and scaled eyes
A restless flock of grim surmise
Would glory fail at first command
And rend the veil that lies ‘twixt beast and man

Blade upon bone upon blood upon blade
Beat ploughshares to swords, beat a path the grave
Bone upon blood upon blade upon bone
Flesh in the fields, our bodies’ seeds sown

Antler, horn, tooth, and claw
Sutured to flesh for war
Bled by the doyen and
Fed to the gaping maw

Blessed and bathed
Fitted and flayed
The living depraved but
One hundred souls saved

Blade upon bone upon blood upon blade
Beat ploughshares to swords, beat a path the grave
Bone upon blood upon blade upon bone
Flesh in the fields, our bodies’ seeds sown

Swept from the altar, drained offerings
Eyes wide with starlight, mouths blossoming
The gloaming fades as he, gorged and red
Ascends to his throne, oblivion to wed

Blade upon bone upon blood upon…
--Hecatomb
