Receiving End of Murder - Byzantine

I got the news today I’ve lost faith somewhere along the line

No chance for me to retrace innocence now washed away

An affair I forever reject, a puppeteer I soon will not forget

My hell is empty, the devil is here pulling my strings

Slithering silently

We suffer a snakes disease

Slithering silently

Smother out integrity

I’m searching for the moral hooks on which to hang my trust

No chance for me to retrace my good intentions drowned by lust

The levee deepens as the earthen dam begins to weaken

Surface a martyr today, a floating body tomorrow

Slithering silently

We suffer a snakes disease

Slithering silently

Smother out integrity

I use this prosthesis one fucking last time

Then rip it away take back what’s rightfully mine

We use this prosthesis one fucking last time

Than rip it away take back what’s rightfully ours

Parasitic, lecherous

Maggots press their weight down upon you

Malignant, so cancerous

Stifling all you hold dear

You pierced the side and drank the wine and left me here to die

I long to lay my suffering down at the feet of my enemy

We bear the scars of the suppressed, revenge is for suppressors

I breathe in deeper today for your grip now loosened on my throat

Slithering silently

We suffer a snakes disease

Slithering silently

Smother out integrity no more
