Through benediction
You tried to rid your mind
Of malediction
But through all this time
You try to peel it off
And it is such a ride
Your desolation
Led you into this
Vile incarnation
Of consummated bliss
I know you need it now
To make you feel alive
All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now
And I ain't talking about forgiveness
All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now
It is the cruel beast that you feed
It is your burning, yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways
You keep a casket
Buried deep within
You try to mask it
But fall back in sin
You want to shake it off
But you are stuck inside
When stripped of rags
Of skin and spine
Human decay
Corpus dei
Terminally dispelled
And it is such a ride
All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now
And I ain't talking about forgiveness
All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now
It is the cruel beast that you feed
It is your burning, yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
It is the cruel beast that you feed
It is your burning, yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
