Lyrics Providence - Ulthar

Providence

Fear alights ten billion bilious
Slouching toward Bethlehem
Hordes burn and horror breeds boredom
For fortune favors a slave
No god, no grace, no providence
Neglect brings plagues of fire
Frail and failure forges pale
Fortressed lathe of forbidden wisdom
Carcass scalded, crushed carapace
Boil the bones
And steal the stones of sanctimony
Salt the wound
And crush the tomb as testimony
No god, no grace, no providence
Kohoutek ecstasy, blind blade bleed
Sacrificial lamb intransigent
Ablaze in wisdom, ash of wilderness
For the furnace does not forget
Parasitic venal sludge
Broken, scoliosis
Paroxysmal holy host
Spinal column cruciform
Thorns like spirals clash and crawl ecclesiastic
Where horizons cease
Where grace is dead
Where nothing lives
So be it
Amen
