ASH AND COAL LYRICS

1. Grim Reapers Sway

Hey you!
Holy Ghost man
Up in the pulpits
Of the pentecostal chants you cry

Hey you!
Crooked smile man
Pick up your weapons
Nameless dead and cowards

Oh, Grim Reapers sway
Oh, Grim Reapers sway

Hey you!
Tree of Life man
Waters boil
Iron spears the earth

Hey you!
Burning bush man
Pigs fly
Diving heads down

Oh, Grim Reapers sway
Oh, Grim Reapers sway
Oh fire!

Oh, Grim Reapers sway
Oh, Grim Reapers sway

Oh, Grim Reapers sway
Oh, Grim Reapers sway

2. The Crying Game

See them devils embark from their graves
See them walk with the spirits of truth
See them hunt
See them prowl
See them gather up masses of black

I'm the one who speaks for the serpent
Yet to walk where no one dares tread
I'm free
I'm true
If I ain't I'll deny it to you

When the monkey of shit hits the fan
Then you'll whine
Like a man
The crying game

Up on a wooden horse, shackled legs down
Oh my God
Where's my crown
The crying game

You're the one to talk they will say
Choosing mirrors to fit in your head
I confess
I betray
But out language corrupted and dead

I know now this suit is becoming
Walking lambs to the slaughterhouse god
Either light
Either dark
All the same difference when flesh decompose

When the monkey of shit hits the fan
Then you'll whine
Like a man
The crying game

Up on a wooden horse, shackled legs down
Oh my God
Where's my crown
The crying game

When the monkey of shit hits the fan
Then you'll whine
Like a man
The crying game

Up on a wooden horse, shackled legs down
Oh my God
Where's my crown
The crying game

3. Of Mire and Filth

It lurks without a name
It tries to integrate
The false apologist
Of mire and filth

It chants in the night
A collector of plagues
The great deceiver
Of mire and filth

When all the spirits are free
And when the heart is dead
Then it lies in wait
The great bringer of death

Where nothing is sacred
Cut in half, cut in two
The king of blasphemy
Of mire and filth

And it's trying to hide
Among the blood and bones
The master of thieves
Of mire and filth

When all the spirits are free
And when the heart is dead
Then it lies in wait
The great bringer of death

4. Dyalogus Mano Sinistra

Why is the skin warm when cells are numb?
Why does it linger, the viper's tongue?
Why is the nail sharp when people roar?
Why the worms in the veins of gold?

Don't question me
O skinless one
I am your pulse
I am your gun

Why the circles in the sea of trees?
Why the death toll when all graves are dug?

Don't question me
O skinless one
I am your pulse
I am your gun

5. Agnostica

Oh little girl, your hands are red now
As carnage sneaks above your shelter
Praying hands, deformed by melted glass
Death's harvest, fear the gods now

Agnostica, don't dare to say these words
Don't speak at all
Agnostica
Agnostica

Oh young girl, all blood gone black now
Hand in hand with bloodshed, indifference
In this tunnel of the all-seeing light
Thoughts harvest, walk the line now

Agnostica, don't dare to say these words
Don't speak at all
Agnostica
Agnostica

Agnostica, don't dare to say these words
Don't speak at all
Agnostica
Agnostica

6. Let the Warhorses Loose

Nothing's there when you touch the ground
All is gone except the winter's sound
Please forgive them for the horizon bright
Wall of water reach the sky tonight

Toads fall from the sky again
Reason dissected by the fools and godsend
Little white chapel, visions confront thee now
O Lord, help them kill tonight

Nothing's there, touch the ground
All is gone, winter's sound
Please forgive horizon bright
Wall of water, reach the sky

Crumble down, yeah
Let the warhorses loose
Up on the hill, lonely tree
You'll find the noose

Toads fall, from the sky
Reason dies, fools' godsend
Little white visions now
O Lord, kill tonight

Crumble down, yeah
Let the warhorses loose
Up on the hill, lonely tree
You'll find the noose

Nothing's there, touch the ground
All is gone, winter's sound
Please forgive horizon bright
Wall of water, reach the sky
