lyrics

Chapter 119: The Candles

Lay out your vestments
On the altar, and pour libations (Hear us sing our spirits high!).
Burn us in perdition
As an offering for your salvation (Sha na na na na na na na!).

Standing on the back of
The devil himself.
I'll shout you off the mountain,
No matter the feat.
You made me from the fire
And I'll bring it to you!

So you're the light that sprung from
An utter darkness (you'll never know what made you be).
Well I'm the darkness sprung from
Your utter lightness (She na na na na na na na!).

You're everywhere at once.
You're never with me.
Strength is in the human
Personality.
We made into a person
An impersonal being.

Here's to the oath, mighty ruin!
We've taken an oath, never truant!
The hour is nigh, come alive!
Come alive!

Lay out your vestments
On the altar, and pour libations (Hear us sing our spirits high!).
