Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ash in my teeth Grin like a cracked old mask Lanterns bleed green On the bones in the river grass Circle of crows Carving their hymn in the sky I light that black smoke Watch the colors eat my eyes (yeah) [Chorus] Death pagan dreams Crawling up out of the peat and steam Blood on the altar of everything I drink that night I let it sing Death pagan dreams Teeth in the bark and my torn-up knees Hands in the dirt where the old gods feed I give my breath They take the lead [Verse 2] Maggots in wine Sip till the daylight bends Tongues made of lime Hissing old names again She walks in slow Veins full of mercury rain We trade our halos For a mouthful of graveyard flame (oh) [Chorus] Death pagan dreams Crawling up out of the peat and steam Blood on the altar of everything I drink that night I let it sing Death pagan dreams Teeth in the bark and my torn-up knees Hands in the dirt where the old gods feed I give my breath They take the lead [Bridge] [Guitars lurch into half-time Warped blues bends wail under whispered vocals] Candles melt backwards Shadows chew through the wall Who did I bury When I answered that call? I see my own face On the thing in the trees It hums my old prayer In a voice that sounds like me (yeah) [Chorus] Death pagan dreams Crawling up out of the peat and steam Blood on the altar of everything I drink that night I let it sing Death pagan dreams Teeth in the bark and my torn-up knees Hands in the dirt where the old gods feed I give my breath They take the lead (take the lead)

metal, Sludge metal crawl with swung blues undertones; deep male vocals pushed upfront, doubled and slightly detuned for menace. Guitars tuned low and blown-out, slow-tempo drums with cavernous toms and splashing cymbals. Verses stay sparse and murky; chorus slams in with thicker rhythm guitars and droning feedback. Bridge dives into trippy, reverb-drenched tremolo lines and whispered backing vocals before a final, crushing chorus., sludge metal, deep, blues
