Soothsayer Lyrics by Haunted Like Human

2021

[Verse 1]
When the dust first breathed life
Child don’t touch the fire
Guess the ashes have called from the start
In the chaos and calm
Cut a slash cross your palm
Promise blood, it poisons your heart
[Verse 2]
From the shadows of the crowd
There’s a hand reaching out
It can offer the things that you seek
There’s a price to be paid
But ain’t that every trade?
You’re just looking for strength when you’re weak
[Chorus]
Oh you know there's a flickering darkness
And it sings out like sirens to you
Yea it’s sickly sweet and elegantly violent
But these debts that you take
They will someday come due
[Verse 3]
Hungry hands reaching up
Crave for more, lust for blood
Bring the fattened calf and slaughter the sheep
Fingers wrapped ‘round the crown
Like they tore at her gown
Who will die for the secrets you keep?
[Chorus]
Oh you know there's a flickering darkness
And it sings out like sirens to you
Yea it’s sickly sweet and elegantly violent
But these debts that you take
They will someday come due
[Bridge]
Ravens come like oracles
Speaking in tongues
And it sounds like a song
That has never felt lungs
The thing that you hate
Is the thing you’ve become
Blessed are the words
Of the soothsaying son
[Chorus]
Oh you know there's a flickering darkness
And it sings out like sirens to you
Yea it’s sickly sweet and elegantly violent
But these debts that you take
They will someday come due
But these debts that you take
They will someday come due
