Lascaille's Shroud - Starflesh Martyrdom

Born to be eaten by our own
Devoured slowly on the same slab
On which we consume
The flesh of our mothers

Piece by piece, muscle down to bone
Eat a sliver of the magic
Inherent in all once living souls
Take the last thing that they have

Face slick with blood, engorged with flesh
Inherit the pain of our wounded mothers
Learn to fear what you will birth
Love what will consume you

To keep wind underneath wings
Laced with the viscera of our sisters

To taste the flesh of stars between our teeth
Mouths wet with the tendons torn from heaven

Eaten
Our one desire, our only wish is to be
Eaten
Devoured by daughters we never learned to love, we are
Eaten
Our one desire, our only wish is to be
Eaten
Our greatest fears, forever unfaced

Fated to die for the Star Eater
Lusted for the sweetness of their flesh
Power bursts onto their tongue
Drinking down the arterial wine

Eaten
Our one desire, our only wish is to be
Eaten
Devoured by daughters we never learned to love, we are
Eaten
Our one desire, our only wish is to be
Eaten
Our greatest fears, forever unfaced

Face slick with blood-engorged with flesh
Inherit the pain of our wounded mothers
Learn to fear what you will birth
Love what will consume you
