Tithes Songtext
von Fear and Filth

Rejoice
Pious protector
The flock has been bred
To covet the lash
The fruits of your labour
Cleansed in the river of bone
Exhale
And ascend

Step over the body
Shackle the mind
Sum
Total
Merciless void
Sever the limb
That which refuses to bend
Undying ardor


Muzzled and fettered
In the sullen morass
Adulation
In the era of plague
Spare me
The vile crusade
Into the burial chasm
Found embrace
In the bowels of snakes
Tighter and tighter
Sinking
Fade into the dark
Fade into the dark

These noxious scabs
Adorn your soul
No sacrament will heal
Self-inflicted wounds
At the start
You reveled in your bite
Now you′re drowning in the venom
Praised the flame
Stacked the tinder
Lit the match
Reduced to ash
Arrogance reigns at the
End of the chain
Reduced to ash
Arrogance reigns at the end of the chain
Arrogance reigns at the end of the chain
