lyrics

Servant of time

As I miscarry and decay
Distressed kaleidoscopes erode the fractured frame.
Mocking the grace to deflect misery.
Vacancy in my chest while I curse holy names.

Forever faceless.
Servant of time.

Hallowed hatred won't abandon me.
Coursing through my arteries.
Cut ties with all beliefs.
So, where the hell’s my harmony?

Dispatch the sparrows
My life is crime.
Heathenous drivel
Disrupts the hive.
Bite my tongue
Go save your soul
While I stitch my skin.

I am a godless son of a saint.
Fearfully faltering.
Exist-ing gracelessly.
Perspiring upon swampy terrain;
As I march this pulse artlessly.

Faith is a crutch I'll never receive.
But in excess of other futile vices.
Faltering on borderlines.
Foundationless.
Nihilistic notions slither through my spine.

God is mankind's greatest lie.
Maybe I'd be better off believing in something.
God is mankind's greatest lie.
Nihilistic notions slither through my spine.

I am a godless son of a saint.
Fearfully faltering.
Exist-ing gracelessly.
Perspiring upon swampy terrain;
As I march this pulse artlessly.

Dispatch the sparrows.
Straight to the gallows.
Dispatch the sparrows. My life is a crime. (X2)
Forever faceless. Servant of time.(x3)
