Cygmus... Vismund Cygmus
[a. Sarcophagi]
[b. Umbilical Syllabes]
[c. Facilis Descernus Averni]
[d. Con Safo]

The ocean floor is hidden 
From your viewing lens 
A depth perception 
Languished in the night 
All my life,I've been 
Sewing the wounds 
But the seeds sprout 
A lachrymal cloud 

Nino preparate 
Que vas sufrir 
Nino preparate 
Salte veneno 
Nino preparate 
Salte de aqui 
Nino preparate 
Labios temblando 
Nino preparate 
Salte veneno 
Nino preparate 
Salte de aqui 
Nino preparate 
Brincan los cuerpos 
Vas a sufrir 

My nails peel back 
When the taxidermist ruined 
Goose stepped the freckling impatience 
All the brittle tombs 
Five hundred little q's 
I'm splitting hairs to 
Match the faces 

All night long I'll hunt for you 
Let me show you what I mean 
Sangre 
Sonando 
De rabia naci 

Now this train don't lie 
An abortion that survived 
A lineage of 
Bastard mastacation 
All the severed proof 
Talons scratch my suite 
These are the feathers 
That replace them 

All night I'll hunt for you 
Let me show you what I mean 
Sangre 
Sonando 
De rabia naci 

Who do you trust 
Will they feed us the womb 
Chrome the fetal mirage 
Will they feed us the womb 
I found the remnants 
Of a crescent fang 
It cleaned my wing 
Down to the bone 
Umbilical syllables 
Left to decode 
There was no cradle 
I can taste it 
Come on now 

All night I'll hunt for you 
Let me show you what I mean 
Sangre 
Sonando 
De rabia naci 

Who do you trust 
Will they feed us the womb 
Chrome the fetal mirage 
Will they feed us the womb 
Bring me this plague 
She took a drink 
Those nicotine stains 
On his every word 
My scavenger quilt 
Will only hide the truth 
Bring me 
Bring me this plague 
I count the days to find 
What was left behind 
Only these names I clutch 
Will lead me to my home 
Somehow this river marks 
A wrinkle hand in mine 
And everyday that parts 
The water into two 
Mothers and feathers start 
To drown the living proof 
I can't remember these lakes of blood 
Wrapped in a blanket 
There sweats a cut 
Who do you trust 
Will they feed us the womb 
Chrome the fetal mirage 
Will they feed us the womb

The Widow
He's got fasting black lungs 
Made of clove splintered shardes 
They're the kind that will talk 
Through a weezing of coughs 

And I hear him every night 
In every pore 
And every time he just makes me warm 

Freeze without an answer 
Free from all the shame 
Must I hide?
Cause I'll never 
Never sleep alone 

Look at how they flock to him 
From an isle of open sores 
He knows that the taste is such 
Such to die for 

And I hear him every night 
On every street 
The scales that do slither 
Deliver me from: 

Freeze without an answer 
Free from all the shame 
Then I'll hide 
Cause I'll never 
Never sleep alone 

Oh lord 
Said I'm bloodshot for sure 
Pale runs the ghost 
Swollen on the shore 

Everynight 
in every pore 
The scales that do slither 
Deliver me from: 

Freeze without an answer 
Free from all the shame 
Then I'll hide 
Cause I'll never 
Never sleep alone 

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Let me die
Cause I'll never 
Never sleep alone

L'Via L'Viaquez
L' Via 
Hija de Miranda 
Tu Apellido se cambio 
L' Via 
Sin Ojos me quieres dar 
Una historia sin mi madre 
Solo tengo que decirte 
El dolor de noche dice 
Solo se quedo el vestido 
Le lave la sangre 

L' Via 
No dejes de descansar 
En la calle caminas 
Quien te va a perseguir 
L' Via 
Te quieren matar 
Dientes de Machete 
Cabezas de gallo 

L' Via 
Durmiendo en paz 
Abre los ojos 
Todo cambiara 
L' Via 
Sonado de venganza 
Y yo te lo juro 
Lo van a pagar 
Blackmailed, she fell off every mountain 
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape 
In her eraser sang the guilty 
As it made the best mistakes 
And with everybody that I find 
And with every clamor that they mine 
I won't forget who I'm looking for 
Oh mother help me I'm looking for 

L' Via 
Hija de Miranda 
Tu apellido se cambio 
L' Via 
Sin ojos me quieres dar 
Una historia sin mi madre 
Solo tengo que decirte 
El dolor de noche dice 
Solo se quedo el vestido 
Le lave la sangre 

Blackmailed, she fell off every mountain 
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape 
In her eraser sang the guilty 
As it made the best mistakes 
And with everybody that I find 
And with every clamor that they mine 
I won't forget who I'm looking for 
Oh mother help me I'm looking for 
Solo tengo 
Una hora 
Y me duermo 
Terminado 
Por veinte y cinco 
Anos pasaron 
Siguen los cuerpos 
Aqui temblando 
Tome la sangre 
Comi el cuerpo 
Mis lagrimas 
Quiebra el espejo 

When all the worms come 
Crawlin out of your head 
Telling you 
Don't you be afraid 
When all the worms come 
Crawlin out of your head 
Telling you 
Don't you be afraid 

Blackmailed she fell off every mountain 
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape 
In her eraser sang the guilty 
As it made the best mistakes 
Shark kites got tangled in the moleskin 
Urgent plea of escape 
A mouth to mouth on the chalkboard 
Written in fingernail distaste 
And with everybody that I find 
And with every clamor that they mine 
I won't forget who I'm looking for 
Oh mother help me I'm looking for

Blackmailed she fell off every mountain 
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape 
In her eraser sang the guilty 
As it made the best mistakes 
And with everybody that I find 
And with every clamor that they mine 
I won't forget who I'm looking for 
Oh mother help me I'm looking for

Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore
[a. Vade Mecum]
[b. Pour Another Icepick]
[c. Pisacis (Phra-Men-Ma)]
[d. Con Safo]

I've always wanted 
To eat glass with you again 
But I never knew how 
How to talk without 
Walls dropping on the eve 
The nest they made couldn't break you 
Along the fallen 
Scowled a fence of beaks 
But the temple is scathing 
Through your veins 
They were scaling 
Through an ice pick of abcess rekoning 
And when Miranda sang 
Everyone turned away 
Used to the noose they obey 
And whoever said that they would scatter 
Separating the mother from child 
She can bat a broken eyelid 

Raining maggots from it's sty 
And with the traces that she leaves 
She will skin you out alive 
All the children go grinding their jaws 
The sweet smell of their toothless canals 
And the damn she will break, make an ocean from this lake 
As they siphon off all of our blood 
And when Miranda sang 
Everyone turned away 
Used to the noose the obey

Cassandra Gemini
[a. Tarantism]
[b. Plant A Nail In The Navel Stream]
[c. Faminepulse]
[d. Multiple Spouse Wounds]
[e. Sarcophagi]

I think I've become like one of the others 
I think I've become like one of the others 
I think I've become like one of the others 
There was a frail syrup dripping off 
His lap danced lapel, punctuated by her 
Decrepit prowl she washed down the hatching 
Gizzard soft as a mane of needles 
His orifice icicles hemorrhaged 
By combing her torso to a pile 
Perspired the trophy shelves made room for his collapse 
She was a mink handjob in sarcophagus heels 

Bring me to my knees 
Read the sharpened lines 
All my arms, bled me blind 
Faucet leaks in shadows 
Spilling from morgue lancet 
Caressed your fontanelle 
I've sworn to kill every last one 
Every last one 
Panic in the shakes of the wounded 
Panic in the worms 
Onto the floor 
And out of your mouth 
Out of your eyelids 
No there's no light, in the darkest 
Of your furthest reaches 
No there's no light, in the darkest 
Of your furthest reaches 
All your dreams, splintered off 
Leech by leech on this catafalque 
Anyone will tell you, yes anyone 
Chance had me setting a trip wire alarm 
Your mother flirted with disease 
When she skinned that costume by it's navel strings 
Panic in the shakes of the wounded 
Panic in the worms, onto the floor 
And out of your mouth out of your eyelids 
No there's no light, in the darkest 
Of your furthest reaches 
No there's no light, in the darkest 
Of your furthest reaches 
No there's no light, in the darkest 
Of your furthest reaches 
Shock lest shackles free you 
Volt face cons 
abandon you again 
I won't feel not this time 
Brick by brick, the night eclipsed 
Pricked by cuticle thorns 
Dried the sleep on nursery slits 
Into this life I'm born 
Heaven's just a scab away 
I'd like to see you after just one taste 
Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight 
Night forever more, let them see it has begun 
The others I've become 
If you should see the dice, charmed with 
It's snaked choked eyes 
You'll wear the widows weeds 
Because they're just your size 
Behind the snail secretion, leaves a dry heave that absorbs 
A limbless procreation, let the infant crawled deformed 
A bag replaced the breath of these suffocating sheets 
And now when the craving calls 
I'll scratch my itchy teeth 
Come on and sing it now 
Sink your teeth 
Into the flesh of midnight, night forever more 
Sink your teeth 
Into the flesh of midnight, night forever more 
She fell for the whispers, sister flooded deaf tears 
That night tore a river, in her baron womb mirror 
And his multiple sons with their mandible tongues 
Set crucified fires to petrified homes:let it burn 
And the owls they were watching 
And the owls didn't care 
Then the owls came a knocking, placenta in their stares 
They will feed on all the carnage, leftover from the flood 
And in the corner of their eyes, fled sister L' Via 
Now the pieces went floating, reflecting all at dusk 
Conceived from the stabbing, was Vismund Cygnus 
Twenty five wives in the lake tonight 
Raw bark in the water of the marble shrine 
Twenty five snakes pour out your eyes 
Yeah the icepicks cumming on the marble shrine 
Twenty five snakes are drowning 
You can't bend your crooked arms or fold your punctured proof 
The air is growing cold and there's nothing you can do 
Soon there'll be no gauze, inside the confessional 
Only rows of crows, defrocking every breath 
And one day you'll remember 
Behind the melting cones, you always had a family 
In the burial of your home. 
I'll peel back all of my skin 
Peel back and let it all run 
Brick by brick, the night eclipsed 
Pricked by the cuticle thorns, dried the sleep 
On nursery slits into this life I'm born 
Havens just a scab away, I'd like to see you 
After just one taste 
Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight 
Night forever more, let them see it has begun 
The others I've become 
No there's no light, in the darkest 
Of your furthest reaches 
No there's no light, no there's no time 
You ain't got nothing, your life was just a lie.
