Iron Maw Baptism
Iron Maw Baptism [Intro, Chromatic tritone crawl, Low guttural close-mic] Teeth of the mill begin to count Nails on the altar mark the ground Oil-black bells in the ribs of the town One breath left, bite it down [Verse 1, Blast-beat 7/8 rupture, Gravel-throat growl] I was born where the furnace learned hunger Under iron rain and animal thunder Every oath was a nail in the tongue Every prayer came back unsung [Pre-Chorus, Half-step descent, Gang-shout doubles] Bone clerk, blood ledger Mark my name in pressure Jaw lock, skull weather Grind the gate together [Chorus 1, Thrash downstroke assault, Layered guttural hook] Feed the iron maw Feed the iron maw No crown, no law Feed the iron maw [Verse 2, Stop-start triplet chugs, Subharmonic death growl] Knuckles bloom on the factory door Boots draw maps on the killing floor A saint with a saw makes a mercy of noise We answer back with broken voice [Bridge, Dissonant chromatic break, Pig-squeal accents] Split the bell Salt the well Tongues of rust Learn to yell [Final Chorus, Double-kick blast surge, Gang guttural stack] Feed the iron maw Feed the iron maw No crown, no law Feed the iron maw [Outro, Sudden tempo choke, Dry close-mic growl] Teeth of the mill begin to count One breath left Bite it down
