Smouldering tongues lips of wheat Kissing the cross of blessed perversion Come ride the honest lies Of the lamb and of the dove Hallelujah! Pallor mortis! Holy is the blade that gave birth to The fine wound of the preacher's tongue Gospel of salt, psalms of acid We wash our prayers in the poisoned name of God Wind and fire have replaced our song Lo and behold — light and darkness have replaced our flesh Death has become our blood Smouldering tongues whips of breath Licking the blood of cursed salvation In sinless guilt we stand And four suns shall see us burn Hallelujah! Algor mortis! Holy is the flame that gave birth to the ashes of the sinner's mouth Gospel of salt, psalms of acid We flood our gardens with the tainted wine of Christ Fog and shadow have replaced our rays Lo and behold — mould and decay have replaced our days Death has become our god.
