The Deconstruct

Cut away at my lifeless corpse
Take all you want
I feel no pain
I yearn to give to be your slave
I will sacrifice for you
Tear at me with hooks and hands
Take all you want this flesh a stain
Destroy the flesh, engulf the soul
Take all you need, take what makes you whole
Remove all I have erase all I am out and see
See what I’ve gained
Strip me down 'til there’s nothing left
Sate your hunger for my blood
I am the offering
Take my strength, my mind, my heart
All of my sacrifice will soon return in spades
I’ll take back more than what you stole
Beware the virtue in give and take
And the pain that you feel won’t be in vain
But your greed has made you blind
And in the darkness you will find
The light of another poisoned soul
Breathe new life to this writhing corpse
Your repentance is in vain
Fulfill the void that emptied me
I’ve sacrificed for you immortal husk
You lay stand forth this body lies in your wake
I’m more than once I was a lamb of ritual sacrifice
Ascend the alter
Change our course to turn back time
