Blood Soaked Salvation

Our last exchange, the final words you said to me (Go)

A silence broken with malice

For the dear and departed

Like a trigger in my head

Squeeze your finger, what comes next?

Taking my life out of my hands, fucking finally

Maybe now I can see things for what they are

Buried by the shoreline separating you and I

Pleading upon the pedestal

Plead upon the pedestal

I feel my heart blister, a thousand ashes christen this skin

I feel my fists curl, God held to the ground and bludgeoned

Beaten to fucking death

Oh my god damn

To stand above my lord with hands covered

In blood soaked salvation

Listen to your heartbeat grow faint and fade away

Angel adorned in decay, sick and frail falling on the gates

A ghost with an iron halo, wings flutter slow

The blackened kiss of Christ groans into the night

Where the sun never shines
