Vermithrax Pejorative

by Bats

on Red in Tooth & Claw (2009)

Give me your daughters!
The ones who not know the flesh of a man
Dress her in flowers
The garnish of ages past

I will not burn your homes
I will spare you
I am old, near death
I still feel this hunger

People have killed all of my children
This man pierced my throat
I am the last of my kind and my blood flows like a river
Right into your mouths
Filling your bellies

As I bleed
As I flounder
Now in the clouds
The realm of my father

You've failed!
Astute intervention
I am the wyrm
Killed by a man using lightning

You said what? You didn't mean it?
I'm dying now. I always have been
Your alchemy will diminish me
It leads to death and chemistry

People have killed all of my children
This man pierced my throat
I am the last of my kind and my blood flows like a river
Right into your mouths
Filling your bellies

You see you're wrong
You see you're wrong

I am called the Wyrm (of Thrace)
I make things much worse (much worse)
