Crows Atop the Gallows Lyrics


Pounding wings of chasmic death

The knell of stasis

Vacant eyes

Sovereign grave

The maggots’ embrace

Witness woe in black command

In cloying scent of slaughter

In ash ordained vain

Withered crown

Butchered light

The worm-clad rite

Snuffed out

Desolate vein of hope snuffed out

Behold the caress of ash-laden wings

That swoop upon the carcass of godhead

Plucking sanctity like worm from soil

As flesh and bone scatter like dust upon wind

The savage maw of chasmic void

Devours the rotting pulse of the earth

Crows atop the gallows

Toward the rope

Funeral

Torn like worm from soil

Toward the rope

Funeral vow

Blackest form of cursed rage

The hourglass bleeds

Withered womb

Barren creed

Lust foreseen in wrath unchained misanthropy

Malefic necropolis

In rhapsody of bloodshed

All joy turns to ash

Cindered throne

Dying spark

The gravemaw’s mark

Snuffed out

Desolate vein of hope snuffed out

The void awaits its spoils

Misanthropy enthroned

Toward cold dead soil

Axis upturned

Under the gaze of the crows

Behold the caress of ash-laden wings

That swoop upon the carcass of godhead

Plucking sanctity like worm from soil

As flesh and bone scatter like dust upon wind

The savage maw of chasmic void

Devours the rotting pulse of the earth

Crows atop the gallows

As it withers

Fades to dust

Afore your first gasping breath

Afore you adorned the worm-clad crown

In ash ordained vain

Before you began

It was already lost

Toward the rope

Funeral

Torn like worm from soil

Toward the rope

Funeral vow

Crows

Crows

Crows

Crows atop the gallows
