Canaanite Lyrics by Defiler

A Deity Depraved

2019

And then the pain stops

There's a motherfuckin' reason that I thrive in the dark
There's a reason anger dwells inside the noblest hearts
Long since removed from everything I had to lose
The fire's spreading so you better make your fuckin' move

All you see was built with fists, blood, and an iron spine
Best bet if they couldn't keep up, they were left behind
So get to steppin' punk - you're outnumbered me to none
I have come to crush you all with the hate I've become

The quiet ones are hiding the darkest nightmares

I don't want to belong, I just want to be gone - so long
Lay me down in the earth, so that nothing will hurt

No good of himself does a listener hear
Speak of the devil and he's sure to appear
The choking seeds, on which we feed
Have all but caused our throats to bleed

I don't want to belong, I just want to be gone - so long
Lay me down in the earth, so that nothing will hurt (goodnight, goodbye)
I don't want to be strong, I don't care if I'm wrong (this ghost, this life)
Everything is a lie, everybody should die

A light shineth in darkness, and the darkness swallowed it whole

Truth in the tenet and dust in the fucking well
Royals are left with no stories to tell
With the essence of all that was virtuous lost
No one is chosen to serve as a god

I don't want to belong, I just want to be gone - so long
Lay me down in the earth, so that nothing will hurt (goodnight, goodbye)
I don't want to be strong, I don't care if I'm wrong (this ghost, this life)
Everything is a lie, everybody should die

And then the pain stops
