Purple Flesh, Green Eyes

Songtext

[Intro] From the dark between the stars Something opened without a scar No breath, no name, no holy face They crawled awake beyond all space [Verse 1] Purple hides beneath the ash Sickly green eyes never blink or flash Hands like hooks and mouths like pits Every thought was born to eat They do not mourn They do not know They only move Where the dead worlds grow [Pre-Chorus] One became a hundred in the hollow A hundred more behind them followed No command and no design Only hunger crossing time [Chorus] DEVOUR The worlds go soft beneath their feet DEVOUR They turn the galaxies to meat No soul inside No end in sight Green eyes open Through the night [Verse 2] They multiply in ruined moons They nest inside the planet’s wounds Purple skin in crawling waves They drink the seas and fill the graves Cities fold like rotting fruit Mountains choke beneath the route Every border, every throne Feeds the mouth that has no home [Pre-Chorus] One became a hundred in the hollow A hundred more behind them followed No command and no design Only hunger crossing time [Chorus] DEVOUR The worlds go soft beneath their feet DEVOUR They turn the galaxies to meat No soul inside No end in sight Green eyes open Through the night [Bridge] Can you hear them under heaven? Scraping at the roots of light Can you feel the blackness breeding? Turning every dawn to blight They are not a plague with purpose They are not a god or king Mindless mouths in endless number Eating everything [Breakdown] PURPLE FLESH GREEN EYES EMPTY HEADS ENDLESS HUNGER PURPLE FLESH GREEN EYES NO TOMORROW NO RETURN [Final Chorus] DEVOUR The worlds go soft beneath their feet DEVOUR They turn the galaxies to meat No soul inside No end in sight Green eyes open Through the night [Outro] From the dark between the stars They leave no worlds and leave no scars Only silence, wide and cold And hungry eyes that never close
