The Shroud
You can run but you can't hide
Count to ten and close your eyes
Feel the water and it's tide
Once it's done you're my corpse bride
Oh I see that you’re new to the cul-de-sac
let me show you a few of the country’s facts
right now cellular’s down but it’s coming back
once you move in the truth is you’d love the shacks
cause it’s usually bright when the sun is out
and the weather guy mentioned these must be clouds
but they’re so low - like it’s fogging up the ground
It’s an ominous mist and it runs the town,
Come and walk with me to take this path to your property
don’t go left, don’t go right best to follow me
cause if not you will end up lost on the streets
stuck forever just calling for momma’s shrieks
not to bring you fear .. when the suns not here - things get weird
people disappear.
Got a kid got a wife - you best keep 'em near
cause the creatures can see you like beacons here.
See you freak when behind you, you hear a screech
and you realize that they’re no cars in the streets
through the fog your eyes see something incomplete
and you look like a kid that just pissed their sheets
SEE their shadows their claws FEEL them scratching the walls
CANT head back cause they’ll STOP you SO now you are CAUGHT
IN your hands there are drops that says that throws 'em off
WHEN you ask how YOU got here, I vanish I’m gone
You can run but you can't hide
Count to ten and close your eyes
Feel the water and it's tide
Once it's done you're my corpse bride
Decapitated idol
I'm her who they prey to
But I am not Mary.
I'm the pleasure in the dark
The slow killer of it all
The want before the thought
I am an infinite God
Omni all
submit to it
Don't you dare fall
Keep worshipping
Cut the heads of the fawns
I've done this since dawn
I am not the form you search for
Lifting the shroud
Lazarus was lifted with my gown
I am the one gods talk about
You feared all that was frowned
You followed the crowds
Where are you now?
This cul-de-sac Of 9th street
The circles of hell
The circles around
Your eyes so round Like a scared kid
Sacred symmetry
Ritual Readings from the books burned
I come forth
The cold in your bones
The shiver in your spine
The darkening of times
The flashing light
The sirens that make you cry
A total divide
I am the flesh torn The rotten galore
I am the one hiding alone
The one your parents where told
The one that brought forth
The timeless sore.
A light that fades a calming glow
A calm before the storm
I am the furthest from home.
You can run but you can't hide
Count to ten and close your eyes
Feel the water and it's tide
Once it's done you're my corpse bride
It's a meal to die for
Ironic, since I reside in a cell with a carnivore
It's not my fault that the family had an unlocked door
Drown them one by one is the part I adore
A face so young and fullerene
which is why it's my favorite to adorne
Dammed since the day I was born
Don't believe me?
Go ask my fuckin pastor about the kiddie pr0n
Don't worry, I did the lord's work and ripped off his Texas longhorn
3 days later he rose in the form of a martyr being mourned
I may be a killer, but my good deeds should not be ignored
You judge me based on society's own accord
I might be guilty, but at least I have the freedom these walls afford
You want to drive a Lambo, but drive a Ford
Tossing and turning, wondering why your wife got bored
Give me your mind and I can show you the lord
Hearing the cries, you can see the horde
Fear not, it's faith being restored
They keep staring, hide em under the floor
Silence (shh)
They can't speak anymore
Fuck mother nature, she's a whore.
You can run but you can't hide
Count to ten and close your eyes
Feel the water and it's tide
Once it's done you're my corpse bride
