something ugly this way comes
through my fingers sliding inside
all these blessings all these burns
i'm godless underneath your cover
search for pleasure search for pain
in this world now i am undying
i unfurl my flag my nation helpless

as i begin to lose my grip
on these realities your sending
taste your mind and taste your sex
i'm naked underneath your cover

covers lie and we will bend and borrow
with the coming sign
the tide will take the sea will rise and time will rein.

black black heart why would you offer more
would you make it easier on me to satisfy
i'm on fire
i'm rotting to the core
i'm eating all your kings and queens
all your sex and your diamonds
