Withered Faith

(Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) I tore the cloth split the skin nothing holy just wet rot inside altars buried under vines commandments sunk in black mud same mud where every god went quiet veil of withered faith rip it burn it let it bleed out no voice left when the forest screams I am the last tongue the final curse in the godless grove I learn the words (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) branches scrape the ribs of old prayers leaves taste like rust and wet stone every hymn I swallowed turns to mold between my teeth no light filters down no answer drips back just the slow drip of sap eating marble faces (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) (Ahhhh Ooooh Aaaaahhhh Oh) I stand where the last altar cracked open roots pushing through the floorboards of heaven no thunder no mercy no hand reaching only the dark forest breathing my own breath I am the rot now I am the ground no faith left to hold me nothing left to fall
