Lust Is The Alter

[Intro] [Verse] Pentagrams etched in the purple dirt floor Red robe drag by the heavy oak door Obsidian blades catch the flicker of flame Incense smoke spell out a cursed-ass name I’m rollin’ up leaves of the forbidden tree Unlockin’ these gates, let the spirits run free Sulfur in the air but the flavor still sweet Shadows crawl out while they circle my feet She rise like steam from the mouth of the cave Ancient and fatal, she takin’ your graves I spark up the herb and I offer my lung Hex in my breath and a spell on my tongue [Verse] Her skin copper-brown like the suns long ago Crown made of feathers startin’ to glow Mark of the beast on the arch of her back Candles all jump when the thunder turn black I blow out a cloud and she swallow the ghost Daughter of titans, possession the most Sink in her body, that velvet abyss Serpent be lurkin’ in every damn kiss We grindin’ the cosmos to powder and grit Fire below us, we turn to the pit Devil just watchin’ and noddin’ his head While we wake up the gods that was better off dead [Chorus] Take a deep breath of the dark green sin Let the heat of the goddess crawl under your skin She the queen of the jungle, the pride of the night Everything heavy and nothin’ feel right Sink in the soil and burn in the bed Follow these visions that live in your head Lust is the altar and blood is the wine Lay on the floor and get lost in the sign [Verse] I’m deep in the temple of honey and stone Heartbeat of nature be shakin’ my bones She archin’ her spine like a mountain in rain Pleasure and torment, they one and the same I’m exhalin’ omens and breathin’ in lust Ancient old idols been crumble to dust Her fingers like roots sunk deep in my chest North, South, East, West, all lay to rest They vanish away in the fog from the bong This is the rhythm where heathens belong A thousand years trapped in the blink of an eye Native-born power that never gon’ die [Chorus] Take a deep breath of the dark green sin Let the heat of the goddess crawl under your skin She the queen of the jungle, the pride of the night Everything heavy and nothin’ feel right Sink in the soil and burn in the bed Follow these visions that live in your head Lust is the altar and blood is the wine Lay on the floor and get lost in the sign [Verse] Cedar and sweat got the scent in the air I’m lost in the thicket of midnight-black hair Her ancestors hum from the back of her throat Cards on the table, we sinkin’ the boat The goat on the wall start to bleed from his eyes While we keep climbin’ where hurricane lies I’m fillin’ her chalice with smoke from the weed Cursin’ the world with a heretic seed She chantin’ a prayer in a language of fire Cult be the gas and the floor be the pyre We end up in thunder and silver and gold This the dark scripture that never been told [Bridge] Smoke is a ladder and smoke is a snake She take what she want and she all that I take No mercy in heaven, no peace in the bone We rule on the ashes of somebody throne Higher than angels and deeper than graves Master of rituals, lord of the slaves Weed is the nectar, the body the bread Stars in the ceiling, the map that we tread [Chorus] Take a deep breath of the dark green sin Let the heat of the goddess crawl under your skin She the queen of the jungle, the pride of the night Everything heavy and nothin’ feel right Sink in the soil and burn in the bed Follow these visions that live in your head Lust is the altar and blood is the wine Lay on the floor and get lost in the sign [Outro]
