Kravelian Blood Rite

[Intro] Ash on my tongue Rust in my lungs Old glyphs cut Across my knuckles [Verse 1] Teeth full of iron dust I chew on the weight of us Handprints burned in the bunker wall Counting every scar like a roll call Boots in the ditch, I don’t look back Jaw clenched tight on a broken pact Red string tied to a cracked dog tag Every step drags like a body bag [Chorus] Kravelian blood rite Carved in the frost and the floodlight I bite down hard on the fault line Spit out stone, make the earth mine Kravelian blood rite Throat full of smoke and the war-cry If I go down in the landslide Paint my name in the landslide [Verse 2] Night train howl through a dead yard Cold steel tongue, speaking in shard Laugh in the face of the fault we share We all break different, I choose to tear Hands up high for the cracked and cursed Drink that dirt till it quenches the thirst Heart like a pit with a rusted gate Either you jump or you suffocate [Chorus] Kravelian blood rite Carved in the frost and the floodlight I bite down hard on the fault line Spit out stone, make the earth mine Kravelian blood rite Throat full of smoke and the war-cry If I go down in the landslide Paint my name in the landslide [Bridge] [Beat drops to half-time, distant choir swells] Face to the gravel Pray to the crack in the pavement “Break me, make me” I am the fault you awakened (hey!) [Chorus] Kravelian blood rite Carved in the frost and the floodlight I bite down hard on the fault line Spit out stone, make the earth mine Kravelian blood rite Throat full of smoke and the war-cry If I go down in the landslide Scream my name in the landslide
