Devouring

[Intro]
Withered flesh , bleeding within
Cursed vows, where darkness begins

[Verse 1]
In the quiet of the sacred night
Flesh and bone, I surrender my light
A ritual, whispers a haunting tune
Sacrifice beneath the lunar moon

[Pre-Chorus]
Consumed by shadows, sinking deep
In the grasp of promises we keep
Fingers trace the ghostly lines
Bound by rites, entwined in time
Control my body, heart and soul 
It is an offering, exact your toll 

[Chorus]
Devoured by your clandestine fire
Flesh dissolves, no more desire
In your shadow, I’m reborn
Sacrifice the maiden’s mourn

[Bridge]
(Cello mourns, dark harp laments)
Seduction in the sacred dance
Every breath, a deadly prayer
Offerings naked, laid bare

[Verse 2]
Whispered secrets, veiled in dark
Entwined in chaos, lured by sparks
Surrender slowly, lose the way
Entangled in the ritual’s sway
Seduce me, taking my all
Tie me down, your only thrall.

[Pre-Chorus]
Consumed by shadows, sinking deep
In the grasp of promises we keep
Fingers trace the ghostly lines
Bound by rites, entwined in time

[Chorus]
Devoured by your clandestine fire
Flesh dissolves, no more desire
In your shadow, I’m reborn
Sacrifice the maiden’s mourn

[Outro]
I give my body, flesh and bone 
In my skin, my heart of stone 
Beating bleeding, drink me up 
The taste of you, fill my cup 
Under the weight of sacred veins
Married to the dark remains
Flesh and bone, forever sworn
Lost in worship, reborn

[Heavy, dark bass solo with intense syncopation]

Devour me! (A taste of blood) 
Devour me! (Hunger never enough) 
Devour me! (In my skin consuming)
Devour me! (I give all, ruining) 

DEVOU-R ME!
