Exsanguination

Bring out the beast, bare those jagged teeth.
Tear at the flesh and make it bleed.
Bite down hard, clench your jaw, make your mark.
Show your battle-scars, let them know who you are.
Baptised in blood and cleansed by the fire.
Relentless pursuit driven by desire.
Blessed by the void, we hear the unspoken voice.
Pressing forward is the only choice.
We were born to die alone,
and in this nothingness we console.
Born to die alone,
cursed by flesh and bone.
Spiteful hearts will usurp their throne.
Bathe us in the blood of the ones who couldn’t see all we could be.
Unleash the crimson rain from their brittle veins.
Let the blood stain, let us be purified by their pain.
Let the blood stain, only the marked ones will remain.
Bring out the beast, bare those jagged teeth.
Tear at the flesh and make it bleed.
Bite down hard, clench your jaw, make your mark.
Show your battle-scars, let them know who you are.
These hungry fangs will puncture skin, this is a battle they can’t win.
Their blood will wash away the sin, that they tried to force within.
Our hearts will beat, these flames will burn.
We’ll take all that’s worth, leave behind mangled bodies on scorched earth.
Bathe us in the blood of the ones who couldn’t see all we could be.
Unleash the crimson rain from their brittle veins.
Let the blood stain, let us be purified by their pain.
Let the blood stain, only the marked ones will remain.
Make them know, make them know, make them never forget.
We are the ones who’ll stand the test.
Make them know, make them never forget.
A bloody reminder carved in flesh.
