Cauterise Songtext
von Asira

I′ve seen the broken prey in your wake
Stranded, adrift, unable to trust
While you stalk a dark forest of excuse
Wilfully blind to your sins
You sow a field of trespass
With liberty undeserved

Better to strip my flesh from bone
Than endure your malignant presence
I hold the blade ready

Every scar, every sanguine drop well spent
In ridding this cancer

Cast your eyes
This fate they never chose
Cauterise
The wound from which you rose

I'll not hesitate to burn this bridge of artifice
With you nailed at its apex
Nor hold your gaze while I strike the match


Willing the skies to open
And sweep you away in judgement deluge
To see you consumed
Torn upon the teeth of the earth
Boiled in their vitriol
And buried under stones I have cast

I have watched as the wolves blame sheep
With a silence I will not keep

Keep your side
But know you chose this path
Cauterise
The wound where you were carved

Cauterise
The wound that they must keep
Keep your side
But know we have seen and
Now condemn
Until every stone is cast
Cast your eyes
Your grip is failing fast
