lyrics

DEATHCRUX

I eat the knife to the bloody hilt.
The grooms will fall as the brides go still.
I am the tree that blooms in bones;
black skulls in honey stones.
I am the one who will kill your gods;
I eat your kings and I drink the skies.
I come like riders on tall black spiders,
among the snakes coiled as burning tires.
I will decree no desire.
All your holy vermin—cut into spades,
don’t have nothing left but the shade.

Put your love down.
Put your heart in a little coffin under the blades.

I put your president in the dirt.
I burned your flags and I turned the currents.
Drank skulls of wine as your armies fell dead,
all their missile tongues wag in hell.
Such pretty curses from the bodies in stacks,
from every farmer that you shot in the back.
Their ghosts are marching from the oceans of fires,
coming to the white house windows in cracks.
Blood in the teeth - half gone;
a red white bruise and your shaking is done.
Nothing but holes where the buffalo roamed.
Get down on your knees if you want to go home,
Ill put a flower in your teeth when I’m done.
