Pallor Mortis - Funeral Mist

Smouldering tongues lips of wheat

Kissing the cross of blessed perversion

Come ride the honest lies

Of the lamb and of the dove

Hallelujah!

Pallor mortis!

Holy is the blade that gave birth to the fine wound of the preacher’s tongue

Gospel of salt, psalms of acid

We wash our prayers in the poisoned name of God

Wind and fire have replaced our song

Lo and behold — light and darkness have replaced our flesh

Death has become our blood

Smouldering tongues whips of breath

Licking the blood of cursed salvation

In sinless guilt we stand

And four suns shall see us burn

Hallelujah!

Algor mortis!

Holy is the flame that gave birth to the ashes of the sinner’s mouth

Gospel of salt, psalms of acid

We flood our gardens with the tainted wine of Christ

Fog and shadow have replaced our rays

Lo and behold — mould and decay have replaced our days

Death has become our god
