lyrics

NO LONGER SHALL I WALK THE EARTH AS A MAN

SKIN IS PEELING OFF IN DREGS
AND OUR ASHES ARE NOW SETTLED
OUR SCOURED FLESH A CAUSTIC MESS
LET OUR OLD NAME BE FORGOTTEN

AWAKEN NEW LIFE
O BRIGHT STAR
WALK THIS EARTH NO LONGER AS A MAN
BUT AS A RADIANT WOMAN

REJUVENATE THE SOIL OF WITH YOUR FEMININITY
GODDESS OF OLD
RELEASE HEALING ENERGY AND LET SWEAT DRIP FROM EVERY PORE

SLAUGHTER THE MEN WHO BETRAYED YOU
LET THEIR BLOOD GIVE YOU VIBRANCY
SLOUGH OFF THEIR OOZING FLESH
AND SHATTER THEIR BRITTLE BONES
