[Intro]
[drums count in
Guitars slam]
From the cracks in the cursed earth
They coil
They writhe
They birth
[Verse 1]
Crawl from the roots of the mountain’s bones
Teeth in the soil
Chewing through stone
Mud-soaked maws
All hunger
No eyes
Plague made of bodies
A tunnel that bites
They drink the roots
They gut the wells
They drag the rivers
Down into hell
[Chorus]
Swarm of the were-worms
Gnawing through the land
Chewing through the marrow
Of the world by hand
Swarm of the were-worms
Every field they claim
Nothing left but empty veins
And craters where we prayed (pray!)
[Verse 2]
Moon-sick flesh in the furrowed ground
Villages vanish
Swallowed
Drowned
Roads collapse like broken ribs
Houses slide into grinding pits
You hear the hillside
Choke and crack
You run for higher
But the hills bite back
[Chorus]
Swarm of the were-worms
Gnawing through the land
Chewing through the marrow
Of the world by hand
Swarm of the were-worms
Every field they claim
Nothing left but empty veins
And craters where we prayed (pray!)
[Bridge]
[drop to half-time
Huge breakdown]
Burrowed under kingdoms (choke the roots)
Waiting in the black frost (scent of wounds)
Blood on the harvest
Dust in the lungs
Every step a sinkhole
Every word
Unsung
[Final Breakdown]
(hey!)
Rise of the coil-born! (coil-born!)
Rise of the dirt-throne!
The earth splits open
Grins with rows of worms
This is their kingdom
We are just
Their
Worms
[Chorus]
Swarm of the were-worms
Gnawing through the land
Chewing through the marrow
Of the world by hand
Swarm of the were-worms
Crown of rot and fang
Bite the sky and drag it down
Till even gods are sang (to shreds!)
