Living Temple Lyrics


Pilgrims, on a journey one by one

Prayer beads on a necklace

Candles on the Altar row by row

Teeth in skulls in the nameless graves

Amulets on necks

The Hoary flapping robes

Beds are wet with sweat and blood

Insects feast on forgotten skin

An X shaped grave with two bodies

Skeletal cross barring the shaft to the depths

Below the rocks and chasms

The bellies of wyverns grow fat

Between the teeth of the crocodile we wander

Our leering skull sockets skinless

Faces carved off in devotion

Rancid tongues utter morbid prayers

Ropes and tar our clothes

Dangling from stalagmites

Under the maw of Abaddon

The door in the dragon's throat
