Текст песни Black Carnation - Soul Debt

Tarnished roots
Burgeon deep through the mire
Creeping sluggardly
Below the terra firma
Murky stalks
Rise above decaying marl
Clusters proliferate
Saints and angels snarl

Petals from the black carnation
Shower down like hail
Herd of demons swarm the field
Draped in cloak and veil

To their monument of terror
Where the coffin has no bearer
Comfort has no seat at the table
Of malevolence

Torrent of black
Pouring down on the shrine
To a such King
Far from heaven's divine
Any that enter are met by
Sheer maleficence

Abject inflorescence
The sanctum's coverlet
Endless shade embers and brimstone
Agony's onset

Petals hailing down
Upon the headstones
And over dirt mounds
Drowning out all hope and life
Remaining to be found

Malefic shepherds
Concealed in black
Collecting bouquets
Swaying 'round sepulchers
Toward their cruel
Carnation cabaret
