lyrics

2. Green messiah

Born of slurry mud
low in churning effluent
and decomposing reek,
a womb!

the cold discomfort renders
casts its resentment in sediment
stoke the verdant sap that seethes
in tuber corpuscles it shall scream

it shall scream!

and rile the quaking leaves to
stand like blades and hither to
the one that is our heathen saviour;
the redeemer in green

the glaucous beast veracious
clarified in the gloom,
woven of the very stalk
knotted up like tendons braced

to carry its bulk of violence
plunder the forests stockade

for the funeral!

the riddling stems now rigid legs
to hold the ravening floral wolves
who slather sap with mucus roar
for the one botanic lord

For meat is a natural foe
Whose slain the verdure infinite
The tithe lays heavy on the land
But never more so than the hearts of man

in the hearts of man

for the wooden
tools of war
for the coming
funeral

Dödsrit is what happens when you drag Post-Hardcore, kicking and screaming, back into a Black Metal setting. And it's clearly working. tgoz

by STORMO
