Hand Of The Host Lyrics - Isis

It is here 

That vice indulged 

Bleeds the living 

Of their trust 

And now the 

Chosen children play 

Never to 

Lay rest 

Hand of the host 

Extended out 

From his fingers 

Dangles scented flesh 

Bodies often spun 

From infant minds 

Perfect in their 

Empty conception 

To be devoured 

By my lustful heart 

I am commanded 

"Do as thou wilt" 

Through the halls 

I am lead 

Following 

I am lead 

"Writhe and gnaw 

Each other's flesh" 

He lies uncovered 

This ancient man 

Of bristle and bone 

Hoary and unwashed 

His lonely soul 

Fills the room 

Our reverie lays broken 

Broken on the floor 

Cast him out into the throngs 

Out into unholy laughter
