Lyrics

[00:16.74] Though we may share blood you are no brother.
[00:25.86] Charm and comeliness but still half a man,
[00:29.99] with such naivety that we might understand
[00:34.18] - what trait captures father's love, young one?
[00:47.92] Come tell.
[00:51.73]
[01:11.18] Come feel these talons pierce your skin and scrape upon the bone.
[01:20.31] Now watch these jaws devouring the corpse you have become.
[01:27.24] Murderous;
[01:29.37] the lot of us
[01:38.12] have seen the misdeed through
[01:42.18] Oh we'd be damned if father knew
[01:46.18] we'd become the slayers of a son.
[01:48.18] Withhold the bones,
[01:54.31] your tongues,
[02:00.99] and hear me, brothers.
[02:03.93] I've felt the touch that will spill us of our guts.
[02:10.99] When the grips of nausea uncovers our perjury
[02:16.49] we'll reveal the answers, both of who and of what.
[02:25.99] Why did you love him, as though he was one?
[02:35.12] You are our father, and we your sons.
[02:53.50] All murderous
[02:55.93] the lot of us;
[02:58.12] revive your cherished heir.
[03:09.31]
[03:14.00] If we had at our way he'd been decayed in abdomens,
[03:20.69] that boy stole from death,
[03:22.66] Ahoeitu, future king of those left,
[03:25.73] would never have seen us condemned.
