The Open Maw
(Oh, Believe Me - Your Death Will Be Most Celebrated)
Iâm coming home!
God, Iâm coming home!
To awaken the depths of blood
To shake the rot from these souls
In the event it all turns to shit
Iâm preaching the words
"Donât letâem get away with it"
Itâs eye for an eye
A tooth for their claw
Our teeth to bare
And weâll swallow them fucking all
We are the Open Maw
The breath of discontent
A hymnal upon the lips
That starves for selfish men
The airy space between
Resolve and fate
That the false prophets
Have systematically detained
We are the Open Maw
We shall swallow themâ¦
Chorus
Breath deep
We are the voice of a God
That they have always feared
Breath deep
We are the wrath of a God
That they will come to fear
We are the Open Maw
The breath of discontent
A hymnal upon the lips
That starves for selfish men
It will be our choice
To take mercy
It will be our choice
To redeem
Chorus
Breath deep
We are the voice of a God
That they have always feared
Breath deep
We are the wrath of a God
That they will come to fear
Breath deep
Breath deep
