Waiting for the Whip Songtext
von Ascaris

Drawn from my altar
Embraced by shaking hands
In the moment of your sacrifice
Yours is the power
But mine is the command
So by your side I linger
Coiled for purpose

Awaiting
Awaiting pain


I am the way
To joy and to redemption
I am the way
To cleanse and scourge your soul
I am the way
To free you of your torment
I am the way
The snake that swallows whole

Lash Lash Feel as I caress your back
Break yourself in penance for the sins that you commit
Lash Lash
Carve yourself a ladder
In the vain attempt to elevate your spirit from the pit

And still, the left hand strikes
As the right hand begs for life
Eternally self-punishing
Forever, strife

Coiled for purpose
