"A Tale Of Immoral And Malevolent Happenings" lyrics

See his hand grab his shears
Ripping open ear to ear
Feel the town flood with fear
Will we leave alive from here?

Drowning hopeless in a silent storm
Nurses whispering the names that were never born
They stitch my breath on a cuirass of stone
Forever alone
I'm finally going home

Let the flames kiss every door
Let the blood drip from the walls onto every floor
Do you see Director, what you haven't learned?
If you stay for the finale you'll be getting burned

Rocking back and forth
For years I felt my worth
Descend to kiss the ground
Once lost but now I'm found
At last I dawn a grin
I see your burning skin

The echoes ache with kerosene
Smiling with a match struck between my teeth

See his hand grab his shears
Ripping open ear to ear
Feel the void draw him near
Spilling thoughts no soul should hear

Fall, fall, you dissolve into embers
Dissolve into embers

I dreamt of sirens, not salvation
Screaming God's name in strangled incantations

See his hand grab his shears
Ripping open ear to ear
Feel the void draw him near
Spilling thoughts no soul should hear
Hear the flames start to sneer
As the walls begin to sear
Feel the town flood with fear
Will we leave alive from here?

Let the flames kiss every door
Let the blood drip from the walls onto every floor
I dreamt of sirens, not salvation
Screaming God's name in strangled incantations
