The Afterbirth - Angels Feast on Flies
Ravenous downturned faces who you meet at your demise
They watched you the moment you were born from the sky
That's why they can't look you in the eyes
The smell of burning feathers and greasy hair
A cauldron burning beyond a vacant stare
Leaving as it arrived, a shifting in the air
Never letting on, as though they didn't care
They're playing both sides until the middle tears
Some things can only be done by fasting and prayer
Fasting and prayer
A gateway in a name, a name older than any other
Be careful what you're bathing in
Because it could leave you smothered
In your life, sacrifice to cleanse your hands of clamping vice
These poltergeists breathe cold as ice
They foretell of the afterlife

I can feel her legs, I can feel her arms Reaching out for me, even in my dreams When she turned her head, symmetrical her face Half of it was rotten, withered with decay Sweet

Researchers journey into distant lands Unearthing temples beneath desert sands Presence of evil, animals feel it Under the black cloud of demonic spirits Sickness and plague,
