lyrics

these are my prayers
and I pour my libations
to deliver to the dead a a due grave dirge
tears drop upon your dark neck
wet with divine sorrow
in my heart there is a fighting
that will not let me sleep
the seed of deliverance watered by weeping
help push my cries through the ground
to his ghost, still clinging so closely
stiff and swollen with gore
blood for blood, blood-grudge fulfiller
come forth and kill the killer
spit their flesh through flames
and molten pitch--push through the blood grudge
as your killer hacked you---hack

balm to the blood-grudge orgies
the blood-blades are both drawn out
the dead now hack down the living
mouldering under a grave-mound
daylight and darkness nourish your doom
your gullet choked on the gore it has gulped
the blood-glut clots and can't reach earths gut
shackled in shame, we share the same hatred
to surf over this blood-crest, Apollo cries from a deep cleft-shrine
"they are the tyrants who have crushed you"

my spirit feels the grudge-dogs
helplessness under harsh masters
up in the light
is their no goat for my libations
fresh blood on your hands makes you fear the Furies
through black blood ooze their eyes stare
the snake that came from the same womb
a son in snake-scales
sent as her slayer
I go as a wanderer, exiled from my bloodline
coming Gorgons dwell in my mind
