Eat by Earth Groans Lyrics

Oh God, remove this cup from me

Face down in the garden, petals for your bed
But this isn't a pallet made for rest
The world's weight hang over you like a blade
Sweat beading, pooling, crimson red

You saw me in my slumber, in my deviant sleep
As I lay in my ruse, my immoral cocoon
Muttering your words in my dreams
"This is my body, take and eat"

Our mortal dissonance wove into a crown
Only a king could bear the weight of the world on his brow
The sins of humanity cascade from your skin
Generating fissures in the eternal coffin

With whips driven to thе slaughter
A lamb laid upon the altar
As nails piercеd through your hands
My nails pierced through my eyelids
A deceiver, a thief
Thirty in silver, the price of betrayal
The spilling of innocent blood
I am the one who deserves this death

Our mortal dissonance wove into a crown
Only a king could bear the weight of the world on his brow
The sins of humanity cascade from your skin
Generating fissures in the eternal coffin

The thorn that cut your head
Is now caught in hell's side
The temple in ruin
Has ascended into paradise

You wore the curse on your back
To place the crown of life on our heads
Our heads
