BENIGHTED IN SODOM LYRICS

1. An Angel Circles The Drain

Come find me frozen
I am bleeding away today in empty lights
Revolting and wailing
The godly are abusing needles like halos
You cannot wake me

Their vices oppress my grave from above Heaven

Now I gaze towards the sky
His glory is obscured by winding towers
Exalted are the spires that mock the horns
A continual silent punishment merely echoing in the valley of death

Now the righteous are diseased
Engineering pestilence for orphaned children
His grace devours the sun
His salvation courses through my veins

2. Dreamscape Overdose

[Instrumental]

3. Liquid Flowing From A Slashed Wrist

Therefore, unto myself and a thousand stars did I cast a blade, and that blade did expiate with blood and euphoria the eyes that witnessed an aeon of flickering, though there is not enough sacrifice to satisfy the grinning and impious abysses of inevitability.

To what shall I relinquish these secrets of mortal lamentation and cosmic disillusion? I can only perish, that I may find my opiate in eternal pain
I can only surrender, for wingless angels will inject heavenly emptiness into my veins.
Dilating black and gray with the sun.

It is so unearthly and beautiful,
I never dreamed of a forever as beautiful as this
I never imagined that I could suffer this deeply, and yet I find myself painfully awake beneath a hail of razors and screaming skies of intoxicating agony, draining away the despair with a quiet and listless desperation

Deliver me through the gates and spare not for me a single plague
From my wrists, I will weave rivers and wrap their paths around the heart of my mortality, smothering the hope that I might save myself from this
I manifest as the affliction that captivates my soul so lovingly
But I wither behind a mirror

Behind my eyes, just the same

4. Nightshade & Arsenic

[Instrumental]

5. Solarium

Forever, stranded in paradise
I will live to see blood pour from the sky like poetry from the lips of my accuser
He makes for me a table in the presence of mine enemies
To face scorn and derision
In a place above his right hand
Abuse yourselves and the ones you love
For this was all that I had left
Beyond the delusion of an eternity
Something much blacker is ever putrefying in time
And it pulsates through my veins
All I ever wanted was to be truly alive
And now I will truly die
Before your eyes, a thousand times
For the forgiveness of your sins and the perpetuity of chastisement
To what condemnation shall we be chastised beyond the grace of death?
To what shape of misery shall I offer this broken place?
Watch as I bleed behind your walls
I crumble unnoticed, without even a passing glance to validate my existence

6. The Surrogate
