The Utterance of Foul Truths

from Saturnal Chambers by Kyrios

/

lyrics

From degradation’s depths
A clear and haunting vision manifests

Brought so close to the brink
That a glimpse could be whispered of
Both Profound and profane
From beyond the threshold
In a fleshless transcendence of boundless human pain

The utterance of foul truths
From the lips of an angel, flayed
Stripped of innocence and skin
‘bove the hellmouth they curiously dangled their befouled as bait

As she hung as a martyr there
A spectacle for the sick
A revelation through pain beheld
Enlightenment arrived at through infinite suffering and shame
When their expectations her secrets doth exceed

what a martyr she was
to the thirsting philosophers
who were summoned in droves
your crimson seraph
who so quietly bleeds
what a martyr she was
