lyrics

I’ve prayed for absolution but you have taught me it requires blood
So I’ll rend my heart I’ll wreck my flesh
A piece of me for a piece of salvation 
I want to know perfection, I want to feel your love
I hear your pallid lips sing sweetly, veracious words that haunt 
To taste salvation is to suffer  
You must cleanse the corruption from your heart

There’s no sacrifice in praise and adoration 
True worship requires blood
Perfidious love is adorned in praise and adoration
But you my love deserve blood

I’ve prayed for redemption now I know it requires blood  
So I’ll rend my heart I’ll wreck my flesh
A piece of me for a piece of eternity 
I want to know your perfection, a love omnigenous and without end
I hear your pallid lips sing sweetly, veracious words that haunt 
You must liberate this bondage of flesh
You’ll only know this beauty through death 

There’s no sacrifice in praise and adoration 
True worship requires blood
Perfidious love is adorned in praise and adoration
But you my love, you my love, you love my love deserve blood

Your perfection only reflects 
There will be no transformation without bloodshed 
No true worship without sacrifice
So I’ll Strip away my inner workings to find the path to God
Not through absolution, only blood 
That’s all that lies between your beauty and my heart 

Your perfection only reflects 
There will be no transformation without bloodshed 
No true worship without sacrifice
So I’ll Strip away my inner workings til I find 
Nothing between you and my heart
Because you’re the only thing I’ve ever loved
