Letra de Set Yourself Alight

Dawn has cussed the black sky
Dread is slowly creeping in
That bitch has sent her rays to prize
Our crusty eyelids open
Wicked, lazy, saturnine
Stargazing, drunken parasites
We've built a vaulting wall of thorns
I've seen you pruning fondly
Set yourself alight, surrender to the night
We built ourselves a pyre while we waited for a sign
Set yourself alight, illuminate the night
No longer paralysed by the impulse to survive
Here they come, torches raised
Asking how we spent our days
But it takes time to cultivate
A squalor quite like ours
We'll be baptised in paraffin
Fumes will hide the stink of sin
Pink like pork and saccharine
The gods will feast tonight!
Set yourself alight, surrender to the night
We built ourselves a pyre while we waited for a sign
Set yourself alight, illuminate the night
The body's sacrifice sees the spirit catalysed
Set yourself alight, illuminate the night
No longer paralysed by the impulse to survive
Set yourself alight, the immolation rite
Like a moth drawn to the fire, all desire's realised
