lyrics

No more wine for me
I'm past delight
In the thick red
and the clear white

I'm thirsty for my own blood
As it moves
Through a field
Of action

Draw the keenest
Blade you have
And strike until
The head circles
Around the body

Make a mountain
of skulls like that
split me apart.

Echoes from the factory
Beckon me to despair

I follow listless apparitions
Down an ever winding stair

Peel back the corners
Pull the shadows from the wall

The empty vessels, they all flounder
Eyes blank under a pall

The empty causeways lead me nowhere
The old ghost drift around

Tremors rock the foundations
Paradigms fall to the ground

Vapor forms a tower
A vulgar landmark for us all

The empty vessels they all flounder
Eyes blank under a pall

Horror holds my hand
Leads me back to our origin

Doubt left to hang
On a neolithic gallows

Don't stop at the mouth
Don't listen to anything I say
I must enter the center of
The fire

Fire is my child
But I must be consumed
And become the fire

Why is there crackling
And smoke?
Because the fire and the flames
Are still talking
You are too dense go away
I have solid form

In the blackness
Those two friends argue
Like a wanderer with no face
Like the most powerful bird
In existence refusing to move

Fire in my eyes
Fades and dies
You know I wouldn't mind
Using you to kill my time

I wonder why you ever came here
Our bones piled so high
Snow and ice held me for so long
Take my toys and pull out your
Soul

What can I say
To someone so curled up
With wanting

So constricted
In his love

Break your pitcher
Against a rock
We don't need any longer
To haul pieces
Of the ocean around

We must drown away from
Heroism
And depictions of
Heroism.

There's no other band that sounds quite like Funeral Moth. Suffocating in its tempo, hypnotic in its melody. One of the most unique doom bands of all time. Yawning Druid
