Make a joyful noise
All shall weep and then rejoice
One hundred years of punishment spent walking upon the earth
Every step is torture, every breath's a fucking curse
One hundred years of punishment, ghost sipping a glass of blood
Black lungs and burning stomach, the misery of God's love
An open wound, a lesion, a festering sore
Your love, an illness, an unsettled score

Haunted by hundreds of fell and unwell gods
Leaving me bound and gagged an martyred for the cause
Mask on face, task at hand
Out of place, tied up hands
I am now someone else
Sacrificial lamb
Pilgrims crawling past
Filthy flood of rats
Gathered at my burning
Giving me the lash
Pulled out of time and space, no body or a grave
I have no destination, I have no fucking place
Nailed to heaven's door
Cut up and left to drain
Bleeding on the handle
Never sent to hell, left instead to waste

Monstrous Dove

Lit match in a sunless room
Source of light, self consumed
Self divine, self subdued
Celestial burden obscuring truth
Belief devoid of thought
In angels' web now caught
Mind disarmed at heaven's gate
Heart now pierced with heaven's blade
Count the wings of seraphim as you cut them off
Sacrifice the light above
Death will nest above your bed, monstrous dove
Why the fuck would you go to heaven?
Sacrifice the filth you love
Nothing will save you from the dust we become
Why the fuck would you exist forever?

I know the way that I was made, destined to miss heaven from birth. Fires burn in a place that always rains and from the moment I was born, I have only tasted dirt. Forever left to wander, feet worn to bone upon the earth. When I die, no cross to move me forward. Damnation no longer hurts.
The wrath of god, disguised as love
Left behind where it belongs
Born again of my own womb
Forgotten flower finally blooms
The breath of life to my chest returns
And my damnation no longer hurts
