Lyrics for Bridegroom of Blood
I'm t-t-tired and d-d-dirty and old Like my real d-d-dugger with my bone S-s-something is s-s-shining at me A l-l-l-light nobody can see My heart is t-t-turning to d-d-dome It's a s-s-sight of a sack full of bones S-s-something is s-s-shining at m-m-me It's not m-m-me, no It's not m-m-me, no It's not m-m-me A t-t-t-tree so surrounded by flame C-c-c-called to me by my n-n-name And m-m-made me a promise to leave The n-n-navy out of their knee A little baby is c-c-c-crying A little baby is c-c-crying A little baby is c-c-crying A lonely lake I went by Awakened me in the dark And as I silently stared A figure formed in the air With teeth intending to eat My husband who was asleep He was tiny and weak With eyes so tender and sweet And as he laid in my arms So safe from hunger and harm I took the edge of a rock And sliced the skin from his cock Yes, I sliced the skin from his cock
