lyrics

Heavy the flail
of earthen husks
Inert upon the oblique floor
Such graceless loam to winnow

Lord, harbour this leprosy
Touch these sallow lips
With your reverie, your blessed accord
The fortuitous gift of esteem
A gaze to the fallow grounds
Your vacant crop
Your fated end
Your haunted flock

Suppress this entreaty
Their carnal affront
Their woes gnaw
Like vermin to open sores
Impotence, 

cumberworld,
Slanderer,
recreant,
Raise the wergild,

Commit To the breaching of faith
Reproach on your gluttony

How must we bleed to gauze this abrasion? 

How must we grieve before the seraphim?

To defame the estates
With this divine facade

Sovereign, sovereign, 
touch on our bane 

Repulse this Maleficium

Monarch, Father, nurture our ills
Pour from your mouth the covenant’s seal

Retread the vales, our vestal lament
Such omens wassail in torment

Sovereign, sovereign
Feast on this Eucharist 

Ravage our malady
This vagrant resolve
This ailing wish
This frailty
This love lost
