Lyrics White Storm of Teeth - The Devil's Blood

White Storm of Teeth

I rip through the chains of Mars
Astride his mare and roan
(as) war bellows blazing free
That rock
That vicar
And that flower
Today I’ll put them to sleep
Your wings have risen up against my foes
And Your winds blow into my sail
And set me upon this path of burning thorns
That bends as the Devil’s tail
Open heart
Closed eyes
Trembling hands tear apart the chain
What saint’s decree
Can hold me back
Now that Your name is known to me?
«for Your chants to reverb on the walls of my mind
Their truth diligently unfurled
For the Living Death in grotesque glory to walk
From my dreams into the world»
A bony hand
Upon my shoulder
Leads me from day into night
And from the void
Into the air
I follow you sleepily
From the air
To the sea
I follow you uncertainly
From the sea
To the earth
I follow you determinately
Through the earth
Into the fire
I follow you confidently
From the fire
Into the void
I follow you eternally
Within the godhead
Within the abyss
And from on high
I reach down into the world
I am thrust
Through the air
Particle swarm
Gaining speed
Friction builds
I am perceived
I go where gravity wills
The sky it yields
Before my fall
An empty husk
I am fulfilled
And filled with rain
A falling moon
I neither wax nor wane
As fiery birds
Crumble and die
In the wake of wings
Scorching aether
I come along
I land in salt
(to be) neither psalm nor song
At grotesque speed
I break the glass
I am moved through
Soul torn apart
Blackthorn wreath
Lungs fill with brine
As I slowly slip beneath
A deep blue glow
Of endless chance
Sends up its hands
Grasping claws
Tendrils bore
Into my skin
(and) replace what was before
I am reassembled
Through witching love
Sirens call
And pass me by
My ears burst
With the force of Death
That stills my endless thirst
It seems as though
The open sea
Endless void
Pregnant with rage
Impedes my birth
Forever lost
I set my nails into earth
As I writhe
Over scaly stone
Coral of blood
Exquisite pain
There’s not a sound
Awake I dream
That I’m absorbed in ground
I become aware
Of intense force
Choking my lungs
Halting my pulse
Drowning in mire
I pass, like night
From soil into fire
I grasp and reach
For nothingness
A final death
So loved not mourned
A final test
A break of laws
At His enduring behest
Chaotic swirl
Of ravenous flame
Nuclear decay
Dead atom-sphere
Unleash hell
And from this point
Time has nothing to tell
Among melting stone
My skin retreats
Magnesium bites
White storm of teeth
Into my soul
Carbon to ash
I am swallowed hole
I fall into
The spaceless space
The timeless time
The endless end
Neither here nor there
Above or below
Into the night I go
