Grey Father Lyrics

Album: Moriah

A ceiling of grey snow like ashes looms above, dominates

Faceless patriarch, hungry for the sweet scent of our offering

To quench the beast's thirst, the ram we bleed

Shovelfuls of carrion to the flames we feed

Return the gift of life with Death to appease

Salvation for he who glorifies, honors, and pleases

Grey father

Bless us and accept this sacrifice

Grey father

I bring my prayer before thee

Nourish the furnace to prevent the collapse of the fabric of truth

The air all around

Thick with human dust, swallows the screams of horror

Gathered in reverence

The gas mask wearing priests behold the gracious feast

Return the gift of life with Death to appease

Salvation for he who glorifies, honors, and pleases

Grey father

Bless us and accept this sacrifice

Grey father

I bring my prayer before thee

A ceiling of grey snow like ashes looms above, dominates

Faceless patriarch, feeding off the sweet scent
