Lyrics[edit]

   They started the last rites
   The earth has opened wide
   I can hear my mother's voice
   Time for me to say goodbye
   
   I never learned how to love
   Those drugs weren't meant for healing
   I just gave for the sake of taking
   Now God will swallow me
   
   The greater the star
   The more violent its demise
   Maybe it was forced attrition
   When you pray you cannot lie
   
   Now I hear the children chanting
   And the widows want to eat
   I think they've helped themselves
   To enough of my bad dreams
   
   Lay your head against my heart
   Can you feel me fading?
   The first burial that I've been to
   Tell the abyss to stop staring at me
   
   The greater the star
   The more violent its demise
   Maybe it was forced attrition
   When you pray you cannot lie
   
   When we lifted the stone
   We should have known
   We'd be bitten by the snake below
   
   The greater the star
   The more violent its demise
   Maybe it was forced attrition
   When you pray you cannot lie
   
   Mother can't mourn me
   Father won't win my fights
   I'm dressed in my mortuary best
   I'm ready for my ride
   
   The blood of the covenant
   Is thicker than the
   Water of the womb
   They're waiting with open arms
   For me to join them soon
