The Feast of the Worm

by Purple Skies

/

lyrics

Will you join me at the feast of the worm?
Many friends have traveled from afar
We eat and are eaten to be reborn
Each limb will slowly be torn
Undone, there are no scars

At the head of the table, the worm with a grin
At his sides are familiar gods of old
They hold great weapons, their beards untrimmed
Forgotten forefathers, primordial kin
Muttering to each other their stories untold

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

The first course is served, and ravenous we become
I'm consumed by consuming this terrestrial food
The worm smiles as if he's already won
But I never noticed the game had begun
As he pours the wine, sets a jovial mood

The main is served now without delay
We wield forks and knives, everyone look to your right
Even the gods are eaten today
Their trials and triumphs, we'd learned their ways
The worm has the fullest belly tonight

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Why do you
Wish to view this life
As a white speck
On an eternal black canvas
Rather than
A canvas white
And here and there
Stained with fearful blackness?
