Sonus Mortis - Reveal The Arteries And Attach The Leeches

Silent flickering from neon Earth.
Weak and withered after birth.
Swaddled up in soothing lies
humming jingles and lullabies.
Desperate prayers hang in the air
to appease the room full of ego saviours.
Burning corpses while vultures stare
eyeing up desire, on the wire, pure instinct, spit fire.

Reveal the arteries and attach the leeches.
Reveal the arteries and attach the leeches
in the face of King and Queen Apathy.
Prince. Countess, Duchess, Baroness!

An end to all interests.
An end to every passion.
An audience with no signs of interaction.
Full of silent nothingness. Beneath. The drone.

The phantom passion.
The phantom passion. No.

A smile and blue eyes from the past.
Impurities blinding, a dream too bright to last.

Mould and damp the heart defile.
Time turned bloom to nothing worth our while.
I confess to the crimes in my head countless times.
Forbidden and unwritten flings with this spirit of mine.

Shake hands, here's luck, good-bye.
I only vex you the more I try.
Shake hands, here's luck, good-bye.
I only vex you the more I try.

Reveal the arteries and attach the leeches.
Reveal the arteries and attach the leeches
in the face of King Apathy.
I am King Apathy.
