Blood-stained altar whispers ancient psalms
Candles gutter as she lifts her poisoned palms
Thorned crown bleeds the wine of forgotten vows
We drink the shadows where the saint disavows
(Deus absconditus)
Veils of incense choke the prayers we steal
Every amen sharpens the sacrificial steel
Rustling scriptures speak in raven tongues
Our broken halos clink where the darkness clung
Crimson communion (crimson communion)
Flesh becomes the holy union
Crimson communion (ashes to flame)
We are the damned and the sacred name
Marble saints crack with our fevered breath
Gilded crosses sink in seas of living death
Her velvet heresy burns the puritan's scroll
We kiss the serpents where the sacraments scroll
(Deus absconditus)
Veils of incense choke the prayers we steal
Every amen sharpens the sacrificial steel
Rustling scriptures speak in raven tongues
Our broken halos clink where the darkness clung
Crimson communion (crimson communion)
Flesh becomes the holy union
Crimson communion (ashes to flame)
We are the damned and the sacred name
Marble saints crack with our fevered breath
Gilded crosses sink in seas of living death
Her velvet heresy burns the puritan's scroll
We kiss the serpents where the sacraments scroll
(Deus absconditus)
Chalice overflows with promises expired
Every hallelujah sets the chapel afire
Stained glass shatters as the midnight choir moans
Our twisted psalms carve mercy from the bones
Crimson communion (crimson communion)
Flesh becomes the holy union
Crimson communion (ashes to flame)
We are the damned and the sacred name
Baptized in venom (venom)
The altar's chewing through its stigmata
Dogma unravels (unravels)
We dance where light and void collide
