lyrics

In the night, we hunt like wolves
but when the sheep all flee, we tear out our own throats
and I don't know why but your teeth feel like love
as the blood soaks the ground, I pray to god it's enough

This sacrifice, this solemn prayer
to a craven figure, that cannot care
and though we dance the circle, the end still comes
hang a wreath on your lintel, hide your young

This constellation of fruitless dreams
trickling down, become lost haunted things
and I don't know why but hope still burns
lay open a vein, call the saints each in their turns

In the night, we hunt like wolves
when the sheep all flee, we tear out our own throats
and I don't know why but your teeth feel like love
as the blood soaks the ground, I pray to god it's enough
