Birthing Sloth Lyrics

Father's room is dark. In precious time our hearts will

be alright. This floor is cold. And I'm afraid I am not

afraid of conjuring her, back from the grave. Whose are

these voices quickly approaching me? "Your sacrifice is

not sufficient. We'll need plenty more before you set

your sights to her." Wires are crawling out, struggling

at my leg. I hear my brother scream as he is consumed

like a burning tree. Not again. Confiscate my arms, my

heart. I must reclaim his soul at least! This sudden

dream is a distraction. A backwards creature writhed in

guts, in puss, in a mass of putrid flesh from which it

cannot escape. Locking eyes with eyes as bright as the

sun, reflecting off of clouds on such a beautiful day.

If only this could be illusive. Frozen by the loss of

blood, dragging myself to steel. Inching myself to this

familiar body. Painting a seal on this familiar body.

All's black.



[Solo: Funderburk]



Time is priceless. This bond is unconditional. I've

abandoned limbs just to claim a part of you. Expressing

sorrow with degradation, pouring from my eyes. Inhaling

blood. Blacking out amidst the futile cries.



[Lead: Vail]



Weightless then, clutched in the arms of a giant man,

this dream is surreal. Sailing through the gusts of

wind from hell. Weightless then, clutched in the arms

of a giant man, this dream is surreal. Sailing through

the gusts of wind and the rain.
