Sacrifice

Sacrifice me to the god of brutality
Of heat and wind and frost and pain
Lay me to waste in the name of normality
Deformed and horrible and all the same

Sacrifice me to god of carelessness
That fatal phrase, fuck it all
Spill my blood for the lords of loneliness
They avert their eyes as I crawl

Sacrifice me to the gods of cruelty
In constant crisis I'm carefree
Kill me ritualistically
Characterized by cannibalized beliefs

All hail, inhale, exhale
All hail, in hell

Sacrifice me to the god of fertility
To slow growth and soil turned
Dig my grave, place a stone without a name
I'll give my flesh and bone and skin

Sacrifice me to the god of honesty
Deeply devoted do devastation
I build my alter the the goddess of tenderness
In hopes she'll grant me some affection

Sacrifice me to the gods of balance
Somewhere between war, and peace, and sleep
Allow me empathy to all I meet
With the knowledge that none of us will ever be complete

All hail, inhale, exhale
All hail, in hell

Make for me a faith without a name
Embraced entirely without question
Blind worship, naïve belief
Stories told without a lesson

All hail, inhale, exhale
All hail, in hell
