Lyrics He Who Spawned the Furies - Trivium

He Who Spawned the Furies

The afterbirth has barely dried
When the king of ruling time
Comes with a sickle in his hand
To devour
Devour
Descendant of chaos
Devour
Castrated the father
Devour
Fearing his overthrow
Devour
Swallowed his children whole
Take your teeth out of me
I have just begun to breathe on my own
I don’t know what this is These eyes can hardly see what is eating me The prisoners rotting in their cells
Children of this godless hell
Digesting in acidic blood
The devoured
Devour
Descendant of chaos
Devour
Castrated the father
Devour
Fearing his overthrow
Devour
Swallowed his children whole
Take your teeth out of me
I have just begun to breathe on my own
I don’t know what this is These eyes can hardly see what is eating me He who spawned the furies
Severed the genitals of his father
Creating such beauty: the goddess of love
But the blood that fell to the ground
Made the erinyes
He who spawned the furies
Wreathed with serpents
Eyes dripping blood
Winged tormentors of criminals
Take your teeth out of me
I have just begun to breathe on my own
I don’t know what this is These eyes can hardly see what is eating me
