Graves Of The Fathers Lyrics by Cryptopsy
Album : None So Vile
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Sextons of the churchyard
Have seen unblessed things;
Ground no longer hallowed
Has sprouted new graves

Descendants of clan
That unsurped maternity
hear whispers in their blood;
This summons of the Fathers

Adherence to the principle
Of "man by woman born":
Anachronistic ritual
Soon to be obsolete

"Forgive me Father
For I know not what I do;
My grave beckons
As irresistable as drawing breath"

Nature abhors a vacuum,
The same is true to a tomb
It cannot be empty
A barren womb of plenty
A vacant grave must be filled.
For this the Fathers' will
Material birth be abjure
A mother's cunt is unpure

Sired in blasphemy
In nocturnal obeisance to rotted hearts
Filled with necrolatry
Reverse the life cycle be reborn through Death.

"Forgive me Father
For I know not what I do;
I leave a void to fill one
Hear my prayers from far below"
Sextons of the churchyard   Have seen unblessed things;   Ground no longer hallowed   Has sprouted new graves      Descendants of clan   That unsurped maternity   hear whispers in their blood;   This summons of the Fathers      Adherence to the principle   Of "man by woman born":   Anachronistic ritual   Soon to be obsolete      "Forgive me Father   For I know not what I do;   My grave beckons   As irresistable as drawing breath"      Nature abhors a vacuum,   The same is true to a tomb   It cannot be empty   A barren womb of plenty   A vacant grave must be filled.   For this the Fathers' will   Material birth be abjure   A mother's cunt is unpure      Sired in blasphemy   In nocturnal obeisance to rotted hearts   Filled with necrolatry   Reverse the life cycle be reborn through Death.      "Forgive me Father   For I know not what I do;   I leave a void to fill one   Hear my prayers from far below"
