Honey and Hemlock

[Intro]
[Verse]
Frozen mountain air
Binding up my hair
Found the secret stair
God is never there
Midnight on the ridge
Cross the broken bridge
Burn the privilege
Of the life I led
Counting stains of red
Left within the bed
Of the newly dead
[Pre-Chorus]
(Whisper) Can you hear my feet?
(Whisper) Is the terror sweet?
Now the circle’s incomplete
And I’m tasting the defeat
[Chorus]
Light the ritual ring
Watch the embers swing
I am everything
That the darkness brings
Honey on my tongue
Lungs are coming unstrung
Songs the elders sung
Now are finally flung
Into the blackest pit
Watch me kindle it
[Post-Chorus]
Burn it all
Watch them fall
Hear the call
Of the fire wall
[Verse]
Cracked stone at my feet
Where the shadows meet
Blood is tasting sweet
In this cold retreat
I remember the knife
And the wasted life
Underneath the strife
Now I hold the match
Lift the heavy latch
Watch the dry wood catch
No more souls to snatch
[Pre-Chorus]
(Deadpan) You are hollow wood
(Deadpan) Never understood
That I’d leave for good
Like a martyr should
[Chorus]
Light the ritual ring
Watch the embers swing
I am everything
That the darkness brings
Honey on my tongue
Lungs are coming unstrung
Songs the elders sung
Now are finally flung
Into the blackest pit
Watch me kindle it
[Bridge]
(Guttural Snarl) Rip the veil
(Snarl) Make them pale
(Snarl) Drive the nail
Static in the brain
Dancing in the rain
Of the holy pain
I am not the same
I have changed my name
I have claimed the flame
[Hook]
I am the goddess now
Break the ancient vow
Watch me take a bow
In the smoke and the plow
[Chorus]
Light the ritual ring
Watch the embers swing
I am everything
That the darkness brings
Honey on my tongue
Lungs are coming unstrung
Songs the elders sung
Now are finally flung
Into the blackest pit
Watch me kindle it
[Outro]
