Split My Tongue - Schammasch

numb to pain from wounds eternal

I step into the void of fear

this, my holy land

sepulchre of direction

sepulchre of will

in which I seek abjection

as we strive to reap defection

the essence of illumination

heralding divine creation

split my tongue, blind my eyes

curse my faith, cut my skin

wound my flesh, soil my blood

infest my mind, drown my love

crush my bones, burn my face

nail my hands, break my will

quench my cries, choke my voice

tear my heart, evoke my fall

bleeding death into the skies

as thousand fists are crushing wailing walls

to the heartbeat of the abyss

deceitful shall be thy words

these words are snakes, guarding the temple of creation

and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life

Aleph lucidum —

flagellation of the spirit

— in noluntas Dei

unify my tongue, light my eyes

bless my faith and mend my skin

heal my flesh, purge my blood

fulfill my mind

shelter my love, strengthen my bones

restore my face and free my hands

be my will

and hear my cries

and guide my voice

and seal my heart

Aleph lucidum in noluntas Dei

Aleph lucidum in noluntas Dei

Aleph lucidum in noluntas Dei

in noluntas Dei

deceitful shall be all words
