Lyrics
[Intro]
I fed the moon a pill of rust
and let it melt my name
[Verse 1]
Black gum water
on my ankles and wrists
I trace the salt with a needle tip
like a prayer I don’t trust
There’s powder in the chalice
there’s ash on my tongue
I kiss the wound wide open
and I feel the room go numb
[Pre-Chorus]
Take my hands
make them mean
draw the circle
draw it clean
I hear the swamp
call my skin
something old
is waking in
[Chorus]
Marsh rite
marsh rite
I drink the dark and stay alive
Marsh rite
marsh rite
Break my bones, then make me shine
[Verse 2]
In the shed behind the cypress
we pinned our saints to the wall
With serpent eyes and motel knives
we watched the nightbirds crawl
I traded sleep for a blister
and my blood for a bell
Every grin in that lantern glow
looked like something fell from hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Take my hands
make them mean
draw the circle
draw it clean
I hear the swamp
call my skin
something old
is waking in
[Chorus]
Marsh rite
marsh rite
I drink the dark and stay alive
Marsh rite
marsh rite
Break my bones, then make me shine
[Bridge]
Now the mud speaks my confession
through a mouth of rotten rain
I wore the ash like wedding lace
and called my ruin by name
If the last door swings open
I won’t beg, I won’t run
I’ll go down in a river of crows
with my prayer and my scum
[Chorus]
Marsh rite
marsh rite
I drink the dark and stay alive
Marsh rite
marsh rite
Break my bones, then make me shine
[Outro]
Salt on my teeth
oil in my lungs
the offering burns
the work is done

Style
Death metal and New Orleans sludge metal with slow crushing half-time riffs, swampy swing in the verses, guttural growls and shouted doubles in the chorus, a dragging pre-chorus that opens into a cavernous hook, eerie feedback swells and reversed cymbal hits between sections, thick low-end mix with filthy analog grit, sludge metal, death metal
