"Beneath The Surface" lyrics

"Beneath The Surface"

The stains on your altar have yet to dry
But power is something you have yet to find
It's the blunt stone that makes the sharpest knife
A higher state for a lower life

Finally reached the surface
But there is nothing here for us
Yeah

So we descend
And we're staying down
No face to our names
You embody everything we renounce

Rotting souls caught in the throws of a
Lifetime of endless cycles of abuse
Clawed to the surface just to retrace my steps
We cut our throats just to spite our own fucking necks

So we descend
And we're staying down
No face to our names
You embody everything we renounce

Tread carefully
This world could swallow you
Spit you out at the mouth of hell
Under no one
Under no illusion
You have turned us antihuman

Tread carefully
This world could swallow you
Spit you out at the mouth of hell
Under no one
Under no illusion
You have turned us antihuman

So we descend
And we're staying down
No face to our names
You embody everything we renounce
