Lyrics The Beast (Invocation) - Christian Death

The Beast (Invocation)

As the shadows fade
An endless river of horizons through his mind Carry him back through time
Where his untouched drinks lay,
Where it does little good refusing those drinks
How loathsome, how incredibly loathsome reality is
In earnest faith and humility
Offer up a prayer for the dead
Let it come that I may liberate all who see or hear me-
A roaring, savage beast
Something absolutely insane is going on everywhere
I suggest that we both rest this afternoon or sooner
So that you and your children will be happy,
Far beyond the school of gray tombstones and gallows
«Watch your step my lover, my son»
Said in a voice of trembling tongues--an immediate threat
Could it be that you didn’t realize I was still here?
Could it be that you didn’t realize that I am still here?
Shadows of our fate till try to answer questions such as these
Close the womb, lock the door
Birth by egg and birth by fire
Attachment and repulsion
Obtain a new life on these higher planes!
