Sainthood Expired

from Psychogenic Demonology (2021) by Blood Wisdom

lyrics

Corpses born to enter storms, have risen numb to feel all pain.
Beyond the sanctuary of their core, they lie with gods and cons, and lose love's game.
Every second in the grave is fading elder names.
People trading races sell a younger day.
From the cradles, in the dark comes another son, and the daughters of the dawn are dying just to run and get out.
Spirit out. Cast it out, free of doubt.
There's a devil in the house of a fallen king, scratching in the walls and teaching flesh to sing.
In each and every prayer pumps a menacing beat, possessing and redressing until blind faith is six feet deep.
Spirit out. Cast it out. Stars go out above the city lights.
A corpse is born to enter storms and get out.
Here to laugh and scream and murder dreams and get out.
In the belly of the beast rots a sermon for the devout.
Stolen from the pages, the source of sages torn out.
With no law or eyes, just tooth for tooth.
So many soul loss smiles are biting against the direction of any truth. Oh no...Truth is out. Cast it out.
Writing, thriving, writhing with snakes, in another fucking language, with a gun that speaks.
Riding, dying, writhing with saints while another fucking demon sneaks right in there place to believe.
