lyrics

Perfect rows of teeth
Regrown into infinity
The world is darkness
And life is blood in the water
And in our mouths,
Devouring or devoured.
Who cares for faith in pity,
Barely staving off inevitability?
Chum juddering in nets deprived of lungs
And we’re alone when the sharks come.2x
All hail the red wake.
Now all I see is the blood that pools
Across a world of wraiths and bones
Pale memories and the water that turns,
Tears through the black mass
The veil is lost by every eye
A chortling scream, an unheard cry
This is what it must mean, to be alive.
Can you honestly say you would be fine?
Can you honestly say you wouldn’t take a bite my friend?
Keep your thoughts clean, but your mouth wide,
And you will find that this is what it does mean, to be alive.
Cut the threads unseen,
Unblinking soul of greed.
Where my nightmares live,
your new life begins.
A wretched symphony
of slaves and cartilage,
Stuck between your teeth.
You’re the promise of the golden dawn.
And I’ll be blood in the water.
All hail the red wake.
