lyrics

this shapeless mass
of collected ash
this wasted time
all of it mine
this crime reveled
was once concealed
concealed
concealed
black cloud rains down
arrow after arrow, come down
it’s hard to count
as the pressure mounts
infinite strikes
barbs in my flesh
vultures, all of you
circling, you drool
you drool
vultures, all of you
circle
circle
circle
you drool
drool
to this attack
i’m powerless
weakened and devoured
by demons
as a shapeless black cloud
this crime reveled
once concealed
black cloud rains down
arrow after arrow after arrow after arrow comes down
on my crown
it’s hard to count
as the pressure mounts
infinite strikes
infinite strikes
so many strikes
barbs in my flesh
and i’m put to the test
attack
i’m powerless to you
weakened and devoured
by demons
they’re shapeless
unseen
unknown
you are
yet here you are
without power
to fight you off
i’m gutted
yet still alive
none will pass over me
“crimson to clover, over and over”
over and over
over
