The Crawling - All Of This For Nothing lyrics



Tracks



01. March Of The Worm

Hang yourself out to dry
Your agony, with nothing to give
We have shown you how to ameliorate
Winding arms around your neck

The march of the worm
A sickening sight, the pale return

You are a child, lost
Emotions boil with disgust
Scraped from your mothers breast
I tenderly open her throat

The march of the worm
A sickening sight, the pale return

Tear out their eyes, eviscerate the young
Spawning deceit, the whore is speaking in tongues
We are forever the mark of the worm
A gaping mouth, until the filth returns

Still she screams for him
And cries manipulation
Mouths that curl from all sides
Glistening, like her blood on the floor

The march of the worm
A sickening sight, the pale return

02. Another Vulture

Brace for the cold
Embrace her words like stones
Can you remember the years she stole
Grace for the year
Embodied in all these fears
So are we nothing without your name?

Slivers of rotten sun
Suffer delights my son
Another Vulture
Another Vulture

Hang her from the tree
so i can relish in the grief and deceit
Hail me as your King and bow deep;
soaked in the eyes of the weak

Another Vulture

03. Thy Nazerene

This is the well of black parasites
Tiny little secrets when I close my eyes
He was the weakest in a world of white
The taste of salt, as the truth spills out

It’s not a thought dear .. it’s a demon
Baptise your children
Am i the worst you've ever been?
Thy Nazarene
As you tread on me; like dust, i rise
How would you have me sir?
I'll be ... Thy Nazarene

A fear of living in the light
I know he's waiting ... bowed head and shallow eyes

Where is that boy?
Who hides when he weeps
Where is that boy?
Whose lies I keep

04. Bound To The Negative

Failed, before our hopelessness
These nails will bind you tight
Our last goodbye
Abandon wretchedness
We gave our dreams, our memories, our lives
And so we die

Buried deep within,
There’s a cruelty in the beast; you feed it sympathies
Forlorn, and with everything gone
Burn this mire
Bound to the negative
We are something you can never be
Bound to the negative
Swallow the pieces of our misery

More vile than vile esteemed
For nothing can bring you peace
Where fathers failed us all; left us to rot

05. Leaving The Skin

Leaving this sick narcotic netherworld
Everything you ever feared is alive, once more
They circled all around, looked down, no sorrow, no loss.
Leaving the skin under sign of demur

If time could carry our weight
Maybe we’ll last one more day
Do you think that they'll remember?
We left our skin in December

Crippled vision, you can never see
Inauguration of mydriasis, so cold
They circled all around, looked down, no sorrow, no loss.
Leaving the skin under sign of demur

Try empathise?
Awake
Why sympathise?
When we leave

06. A Light We Cannot See

Crushed by the weight of words
Our world, the heretic
The language, that language I no longer speak
Nothing here to see; the tunnel closing in
Is something wrong?

I regret everything

Is it truth you speak?
All the light we cannot see
If the vision turns bleak

They have carried me the gallows
Fear of no one to writhe, and no one to go
So slowly we die down
Searching for release
Skin already through

I regret everything

No point in waiting, we know what to do
There are no answers; we already knew
A stain to cleanse; we leave these hours
And regret everything

07. Sparrow

Unravelled in gore
Simply wanted to be
She came undone
Beautiful to see
Long red flare
Strong red stream
Skin like bleach
And eyes for me

I Sparrow

Not ready to leave
Yet knowing i can
Come with me as one
You know the way home
Understand now
Glare at my failures
This rotting meat
Smells like bleach

I Sparrow

Joy or sorrow? I simply can’t tell
Engraved lies that seemed to please you well
Continue to breathe, the blood that follows me down
Take me sparrow, and take me now
