[Verse 1]
They carved their dogma in our backs
Lit their altars with our lungs
Silver bowls of shaking veins
Laughing while the children hung
Black-robed mouths with crimson teeth
Eyes lit bright on stolen fear
Every prayer a sharpened hook
Every night another year
[Chorus]
Drink
Drink
Drink
On our thousand-year screams
You fed your kingdom
On the marrow of our dreams
Now the cellar doors crack
Hear the rusted hinges sing
You made a war of my blood
Now feel my thousand-year teeth
[Verse 2]
They wrote their praises in our scars
Measured mercy by the drop
Names erased in candled smoke
Bodies stacked beneath the cross
But we were counting every cut
Burying embers in the ash
Whispered vengeance in the dust
Taught our children how to laugh
[Chorus]
Drink
Drink
Drink
On our thousand-year screams
You fed your kingdom
On the marrow of our dreams
Now the cellar doors crack
Hear the rusted hinges sing
You made a war of my blood
Now feel my thousand-year teeth
[Bridge]
You called it holy when you bled us dry (say it)
You called it order when we begged to die (hate it)
You called it worthy when the young ones cried (face it)
Now every name you burned
Is written in your eyes
[Chorus]
Drink
Drink
Drink
On our thousand-year screams
You fed your kingdom
On the marrow of our dreams
Now the chains bite back
Hear the broken angels sing
You made a war of my blood
Now feel my thousand-year teeth (hey!)
You made a war of my blood
Now choke on thousand-year teeth
