Worms In The Mire

[Verse 1]
On this rock
Dust in a dead man's palm
Countless clones of a poisoned world
Choke on the same black calm

Steel sky
Breath tastes like burnt machine
Every heartbeat barcoded
Sold to a crawling dream

[Pre-Chorus]
In the siren smoke
I hear your questions bleed
Is there a hand above
Or just teeth that feed

[Chorus]
On this rock
Where the worms crawl higher
Through the rot
Through the rust
Through the fire
Is there a god
Or only the wire
Screaming for a savior in the mire

[Verse 2]
Kings fall
Still the devil keeps the throne
Laughing in the fault lines
Cracking every bone

We shriek
Tiny scars in a towering storm
Just earthworms drunk on the filth
Calling that cancer "normal"

[Pre-Chorus]
In the buzzing dark
I taste that broken plea
Is there a holy spark
Or just the kill routine

[Chorus]

[guitar solo]

[Bridge] [male choir
Ominous]
Is there a voice that cuts the noise
A hand that breaks the chain
Or just our shadows eating us
Repeating all our pain

[low vocal register]
If there's a flame beyond the frame
Then let it burn this liar
Lift these worms from the sucking ground
Or drown us in that fire

[Chorus]
