When the mark of the beast slips inside your decay
It's electric my body can scarce feel this way
On the eve of the moontide, with blood on my axe blade
Heretics come to mark me and fold neath my sway
In the infinite light as I move beyond my grave
In this hunter's soft fallow my heart starts to fade
If beyond heavens boundary, our hearts become space
And my eyes fold dim light to recapture your face
On their many horses, the Black Light by forces
I'm blinded by sunlight, Oh, leave it alone, leave it alone
Carry the wretched, as far as they've sent dead
And ply for my rest for I'm on my own, on my own
It's a missive undone just to leave me this way
where your voice can't unbind me, or curse what I say
so just burn it on down and then flee from this way let the fires turn night to the warmth which you strayed
When dark lords come to light, in the perilous night
And your hearts become hardened and cast into stone
May your wither be swift and your chaff become sifted
the mark has been lifted and scraped from your bones
On their many horses, the Black Light by forces
I'm blinded by sunlight, Oh, leave it alone, leave it alone
Carry the wretched, as far as they've sent dead
And ply for my rest for I'm on my own, on my own
It's a missive undone just to leave me this way
where your voice can't unbind me, or curse what I say
so just burn it on down and then flee from this way let the fires turn night to the warmth which you strayed
On my honor I pledge
From the bite of my sledge
That these roses shall speak from the black of your throne
Iron crush and skull cave, for the masses they gave
Of their own birthright bloodied
And carved into stone
