lyrics

GUSTANCE! THE MANDIBLE
Laid beside a cesspool, a sluggish stream, the vultures circling, but he is yet to cease breathing
Starvation, appetence and famine made flesh, filled with insatiable hunger
Starvation, appetence and famine made flesh, filled with a craving of emptiness
Breathes upon him, filling herself in his mouth
Starvation, appetence and famine made flesh, filled with insatiable hunger
Starvation, appetence and famine made flesh, filled with a craving of emptiness
Breathes upon him, filling herself in his mouth
Channeled through those hollowed veins, the craving of nothingness
Filled with the unquenchable thirst, and a hunger that drives him to devour himself
Parchment skin reveals the bowels within him, channeled through those hollowed veins
The craving of nothingness, filled with the unquenchable thirst, he must devour himself
Starvation, appetence and famine made flesh, filled with insatiable hunger
Starvation, appetence and famine made flesh, filled with a craving of emptiness
Breathes upon him, filling herself in his mouth
Starvation, appetence and famine made flesh, filled with insatiable hunger
Starvation, appetence and famine made flesh, filled with a craving of emptiness
Breathes upon him, filling herself in his mouth
Channeled through those hollowed veins, the craving of nothingness
Filled with the unquenchable thirst, and a hunger that drives him to devour himself
Parchment skin reveals the bowels within him, the overhanging hew where hunger lies within
Wasted jaws and a shame too late, Hiding guilt on a burdened face
“To explore an unpeopled night, through vacuous realms and regions void
One’s path in the woodland winds, beneath the moons receiving light
When Jove has mantled his heaven in shade, and night seals up the beauty in the world
At entrance to the abyss, vengeful cares on couches lie, Old age abides, pale diseases, hunger, a temptress to all of the crime
Want, base and vile, two dreaded shapes to see, then Sleep…deaths next of kin”
The dole-bringing owl utters its cry, the sad omen of the screech-owl sounds, dread stalks there with looming fear, and crushing pain
