Exsanguination

Bring out the beast, bare those jagged teeth
Tear at the flesh and make it bleed
Bite down hard, clench your jaw, make your mark
Show your battle-scars, let them know who you are

Baptised in blood and cleansed by the fire
Relentless pursuit driven by desire
Blessed by the void, we hear the unspoken voice
Pressing forward is the only choice

We were born to die alone
And in this nothingness we console
Born to die alone
Cursed by flesh and bone
Spiteful hearts will usurp their throne

Bathe us in the blood of the ones who couldn’t see all we could be
Unleash the crimson rain from their brittle veins
Let the blood stain, let us be purified by their pain
Let the blood stain, only the marked ones will remain

Bring out the beast, bare those jagged teeth
Tear at the flesh and make it bleed
Bite down hard, clench your jaw, make your mark
Show your battle-scars, let them know who you are

These hungry fangs will puncture skin, this is a battle they can’t win
Their blood will wash away the sin, that they tried to force within
Our hearts will beat, these flames will burn

We’ll take all that’s worth, leave behind mangled bodies on scorched earth

Bathe us in the blood of the ones who couldn’t see all we could be
Unleash the crimson rain from their brittle veins
Let the blood stain, let us be purified by their pain
Let the blood stain, only the marked ones will remain

Make them know, make them know, make them never forget
We are the ones who’ll stand the test
Make them know, make them never forget
A bloody reminder carved in flesh
