Graves Of The Fathers lyrics

Song information

Artist: Cryptopsy
Album: None So Vile

Lyrics

Sextons of the churchyard
Have seen unblessed things;
Ground no longer hallowed
Has sprouted new graves

Descendants of clan
That unsurped maternity
Hear whispers in their blood;
This summons of the fathers

Adherence to the principle
Of "man by woman born"..
Anachronistic ritual
Soon to be obsolete

"Forgive me father
For I know not what I do;
My grave beckons
As irresistable as drawing breath."

Nature abhors a vacuum
The same is true to a tomb..
It cannot be empty
A barren womb of plenty..
A vacant grave must be filled
For this the fathers' will
Material birth be abjure
A mother's cunt is unpure

Sired in blasphemy
In nocturnal obeisance to rotted hearts
Filled with necrolatry
Reverse the life cycle be reborn through death

"Forgive me father
For I know not what I do;
I leave a void to fill one
Hear my prayers from far below."
