Contents Within

(album: Empire Theory - 2009)

Desolately awaiting nightfall
The cool dead feeling, to fall on my face
Patiently...
And I'll forget this day

Did you forget me here in this corridor of Hell?
Where I lost my mind to desecration and fear?
Did you leave me behind thinking I would tell your secrets?
Did you leave me to die?

My shroud removed and my body uncovered
Left for the Vultures to tear at my skin
To relish from my skull, the contents within
Here I have lay with these dark demons of prey
Using grimy black talons they disfigured my face
Please God I pray, send your eagle this way

Did you forget me here in this corridor of Hell?
Where I lost my mind to desecration and fear?
Did you leave me behind thinking I would tell your secrets?
Did you leave me to die?

Entirely surpassing the point of apathetic submission I spilled all
Yet with every surrendering word I let slip
The more un-satiated the Vultures became...

I must set things right
I must set things right
Right, right

But sprawled upon this mires coagulated bed
I forget the plentiful pints I bled
And dwell on many more I let them shed
From my honest brother's blameless head
His blameless head
His blameless head
