Thrice was I burned

Thrice reborn

Becoming and thirst

Convulsions rebirth

As you were flesh my host entwined

Pain maiden on raven ride

Flame wreath brow, blood ribbon untied

Serve festering bread

And bleeding rancid wine

Am I the last one

To carry your son

Crippled orphan

Nine tied to leash

Those held endeared

Thirst of deceased kin drown into weir

Am I the last one to carry your son

Be the drums

Drums of black death

Be the drums between my heartbeats

Be the drums between my breaths

Air wet with rapture and scent

Masks of rust and sanity bent

Shroud white on shadows bride

Carries your sons

Thrice was I burned

Thrice reborn

Hold the earth above my berth

Nine tied to leash

Those held endeared

Thirst of deceased

Kin drown into weir
