Painted Skulls Lyrics - Transcend The Rubicon - Benediction

From the museum of sleep 

Unliving eyes see death's subtle jest 

In my sorrow they mourn the past 

Yet celebrate their eternal rest 

Relieving the worlds pain 

In a church of misery 

Dampening the lantern flame 

Upon your bended knee 

Painted skulls 

Painted skulls 

Warm and close the air runs hard 

Around the loyal gravesite 

Wailing moon in a putrid sky 

Hungry and eager tonight 

Our cries pierce their world 

An invocation to mourn 

Celebration, fete for fate 

Of unearthly dead souls reborn 

Like a slime trail of a slug 

Transgress to the husk 

Unburied souls in restful bliss 

Bursting forth from crust 

Stale the stench of arising souls 

In ritual macabre 

Drag you down infuse your mind 

By blade or poisoned barb 

Painted skulls 

Painted skulls 

The festival end now they sleep 

Shrouds of pain another year 

Return to their boneyard 

We surviving ones await in fear 

Mourning unsurpassed 

To the bitter end 

Broken dreams and broken lies 

Painted skulls, the children cry
