Painted With the Blood of Violation

From the museum of sleep
Unliving eyes see death's subtle jest
In my sorrow they mourn the past
Yet celebrate their eternal restRelieving the worlds pain
In a church of misery
Dampening the lantern flame
Upon your bended knee
Painted skulls
Painted skullsWarm and close the air runs hard
Around the loyal gravesite
Wailing moon in a putrid sky
Hungry and eager tonightOur cries pierce their world
An invocation to mourn
Celebration, fete for fate
Of unearthly dead souls rebornLike a slime trail of a slug
Transgress to the husk
Unburied souls in restful bliss
Bursting forth from crustStale the stench of arising souls
In ritual macabre
Drag you down infuse your mind
By blade or poisoned barbPainted skulls
Painted skullsThe festival end now they sleep
Shrouds of pain another year
Return to their boneyard
We surviving ones await in fearMourning unsurpassed
To the bitter end
Broken dreams and broken lies
Painted skulls, the children cry
