Mantis Lyrics

Album: Sloth

Lying in wait at the darkening yawn

Seer, I speak for the dead

I am the victim of cold in the dark

The jagged things never to end

Breaking the backs as they pray for the rain

To wash away all I have done

You whisper into the secretive maw

Ensnared by the claws in your skull

Show me the path to my home in the frost

In the pit there is no use for tears

Wind starts to laugh as we tear at the walls

And the worms tell us we cannot leave

Yet there’s no hate as I dissolve your flesh

And join with me now in the blood

Stare from beyond and there is no more pain

Past the depths of sexual cannibal

Buru, enmeli

Buru, enmeli

Buru, enmeli ashaga

Demand control in the dark tiny world

The ruler of tombs seeking more

In shivers I molt before adding new skin

My form shall now conquer the worm

Cry to the moon that there is no more home

With you I am frozen perfection

Ascend through the walls on chitonous legs

I am the land where darkness dies

Buru enmeli ashaga
