Grin of the Abyss cover art

가사

[Intro]
Candles drip on rusted steel
Halo made of broken teeth
Laughing at the way you kneel
Something crawling underneath

[Verse 1]
Claws on the tile, I’m pacing
Tongue like a serpent, tasting
Fear in the air, it’s basic
All of your prayers? I waste it
Tattooed scripture, blacked-out veins
Voices stacked up in my brain
Every last echo screams my name
Drag those halos through my flame
Step in the dark, I’m grinning
Every weak heartbeat, I’m thinning
All of your saints, I’m spinning
Crosses crack while I’m sinning
Wing-tips dipped in tar
Eyes twin pits of tar
You look up, see a scar
I look down, see a jar

[Chorus]
I’m a devil in your doorway
Grin of the abyss on my face
You can run ‘til your bones break
I still carve my mark in this place
You’re a whisper, I’m a war drum
Every nightmare locked in my fist
You can beg ‘til your throat’s numb
Still you’re sinking deep in my mist (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Teeth like trophies, lined on leather
I keep storms inside my sweater
Every confession, every letter
Burn it all, I call it “better”
I don’t need sleep, I stalk
Footsteps sync with your clock
Hear that tick, that tock
That’s my hand on the lock
Blood on the mirror, smearing
Your own eyes disappearing
I talk close to your hearing
“You’re the next one volunteering”
Coffin tongue, I spit rust
Turn your courage into dust
Every promise, every trust
In my grip, it starts to crust

[Chorus]
I’m a devil in your doorway
Grin of the abyss on my face
You can run ‘til your bones break
I still carve my mark in this place
You’re a whisper, I’m a war drum
Every nightmare locked in my fist
You can beg ‘til your throat’s numb
Still you’re sinking deep in my mist (oh)

[Bridge]
[Beat drops to strings and low choir]
Hear that choir hum your fate
Every note a heavy weight
Every name up on this slate
I decide the closing date
Kiss your charms and clutch your beads
I plant words like rotten seeds
In your chest where terror feeds
I grow forests made of deeds

[Chorus]
I’m a devil in your doorway
Grin of the abyss on my face
You can run ‘til your bones break
I still carve my mark in this place
You’re a whisper, I’m a war drum
Every nightmare locked in my fist
You can beg ‘til your throat’s numb
Still you’re sinking deep in my mist (hey)
