God's Gift (Maggot)

Lyrics:

Twilights last gleaming 
Forgotten is the morning dawn
Mercury with no degree 
Bloody lies the black sun 
Eyes of god 
The skies
The limit 

Moving backward in a haze
Crawling back against the halo
Your bloody righteous 

Absurd man in a cave 
Falling back again 
Over the chair 
The chair backward falling down 
Knives in the eyes 
Maggots fill the brain 

Read real platonic grin 
On the floor in a pool of blood
Lifeless grin 
Back to the bedroom
With a grin 

Where the master
Remarks
Down the phantoms 
Living out their miseries 
It's hard to fathom what length a man will go 
God give the maggots

Eye socket
In the face
Know less and back again 
Open wound
In as much
The silence
Backwash 
God give the maggots

Description far away
Temples who say
Ghostly remains
A new one rules again
Mellowed and winning
Consolation of life
Prizework
Prizework as seen

Labyrinth 
Borrowed
Service
Commerce is the easy road 
To destroy
Magick
Collision

Go first maggot
Go first maggot
My friend maggot
Life filled maggot
