The Mouth of Hell

from Abandon The Light by Valley of Snakes

/

lyrics

The demons howl
Within my mouth
Bathing on my tongue now
It will bleed out
Scriptures of hell

Those now reading
Hear my screeching
Decipher it's meaning
It is seething
Beyond the seams

Beneath my feet
The ground opens up revealing teeth
Before the eyes of god it speaks to me
Succubus of dreams
Alluring the hate that was born within me
Seducing me to look what lies beneath

And now I find myself
Looking at the depths wondering about the screams from hell

I see it finally
It chews on meat until the bones release
Drinking blood so blissfully
Sadistic design in masochistic seams

I try to hide
It is never too far behind
I finally look upon it's eyes
Within a hole where the memories die
It digs me a grave
A place where my bones remain
It begins inhaling my pain
Drinking the misery
Welcoming hate

It swims in my mind
Breaking my spine
My life will decline.
I become everything I wish I could fight
I dwell in the hate even though it's not right
I can never outrun
What I've become
When it runs in my blood
Come to accept I know nothing of love
It doesn't exist but who am I to judge

I see it finally
It chews on meat until the bones release
Drinking blood so blissfully
Sadistic design in masochistic seams
The hate creeps upon me
I feel inside begging for release
I try to rip it away
It digs in deep with It's claws and teeth

The evil crawls into my mind
Telling me I am the parasite
I ignore it's whispers but I can't deny
The lust for torment always satisfies
The cruelty, Of man
In the birth water where I began
Always apart of the plan
Bury it until it resurfaced again

It's always
Clawing at the flesh
Twisting what is left
Begging for my final breath
It's always
Clinging to my pride
Looking through my eyes
Shaping life into a lie

The stench of misery always surrounds
It peels my flesh as I hear it growl
The demon calls from where it dwells
Speaking in tongues behind the teeth in the mouth of hell

It tells me in death there is no way out
The soul belongs to heaven but the body is reserved for hell
It waits for me to embrace the sound
Of maggots breeding beneath my flesh eating me from the inside out

They begin feasting on my mind
They take away my soul in the mist of the blackest night
It's a feeling that I can't describe
See it in my tortured eyes
Understand the pain of life
