Halo Down

Intro

Rend

Rend the veil

Verse 1

Carved from the ribs of a sleeping titan

I drag my nails through consecrated meat

Every tendon snaps like a broken hymn

The altar weeps a thick and ruddy heat

Beneath the marble something still is breathing

I peel the sacred from the sacred bone

Pre-Chorus

No prayer will stitch this wound

No choir will drown the sound

Chorus

Flesh of god between my teeth

Flesh of god I swallow whole

Flesh of god beneath the skin

The holy made a meal

Flesh of god I take it in

Flesh of god I make it mine

Flesh of god the blood is warm

And I am never full

Verse 2

They built a temple out of porcelain and lies

I found the seams and pulled until it tore

The priests were screaming something about mercy

I chewed the sermon as it left the door

Devotion tastes of copper salt and ruin

I lick the chalice clean and ask for more

Pre-Chorus

No god will mend this rift

No hand will lift the gift

Chorus

Flesh of god between my teeth

Flesh of god I swallow whole

Flesh of god beneath the skin

The holy made a meal

Flesh of god I take it in

Flesh of god I make it mine

Flesh of god the blood is warm

And I am never full

Breakdown

Tear

Tear

Tear the halo down

Tear

Tear

Tear the halo down

Bridge

I was hungry

I was hollow

I was kneeling

I was wrong

Now the pulpit is a carcass

And the hymn is just a howl

And the hymn is just a howl

Chorus

Flesh of god between my teeth

Flesh of god I swallow whole

Flesh of god beneath the skin

The holy made a meal

Flesh of god I take it in

Flesh of god I make it mine

Flesh of god the blood is warm

And I am never full

Outro

Never full

Never full
