Spillways Lyrics

Through benediction
You tried to rid your mind
Of malediction
But through all this time
You tried to peel it off
And it's such a ride

Your desolation
Led you into this
Vile incarnation
Of consummated bliss
I know you need it now
To make you feel alive

All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now
And I ain't talking about forgiveness
All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now

It's the cruel beast that you feed
It's your burning yearning need to bleed
Through your spillways

You keep a casket
Buried deep within
You try to mask it
But fall back in sin
You wanna shake it off
But you're stuck inside

When stripped of rags
Of skin and spine
Human decay
Corpus dei
Terminally dispelled
And it's such a ride

All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now
And I ain't talking about forgiveness
All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now

It's the cruel beast that you feed
It's your burning yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Spillways, spillways

It's the cruel beast that you feed
It's your burning yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul

Cover art for Spillways  lyrics by Ghost

Ghost frontman Tobias Forge of this song has said; "This is an elegy for the darkness that most people have inside. When you have a dam, spillways are the run-offs so the dam won’t overflow. That darkness inside us needs to find its way out.
