Living Altar Lyrics


Writhing

Trembling

Moaning

Breathing

Waking

Dreaming

Willing

Bleeding

Living Altar

Pillars of reason crumble to dust

Temples to logic burn

Mausoleums, impotent to fetter the violence of our nature

Shattered prisons, ruins, reclaimed by the essence of the wilderness

Monuments to patriarchal control

Schizophrenic despair, awakened in the heath top moonlight

In her presence reason falters

Kneel before her, living altar

The visceral overcomes the rational

The lunar eclipses the solar

As blood begins to flow down the living altar

Dismal ritual

In a hostile temple

Blackened ministry of the nocturnal sisterhood

Chaos stirs within our veins

And over reason chaos reigns

Writhing

Trembling

Moaning

Breathing

Waking

Dreaming

Willing

Bleeding

In her presence reason falters

Kneel before her, living altar

The visceral overcomes the rational

The lunar eclipses the solar

As blood begins to flow down the living altar
