Dente
by To Die Elsewhere

Album: Metastasis

I've tasted flesh, warm in my mouth
But these darn fangs are stuck now
Just like the bee, stinger torn out
I pull and pull til teeth uproot

Hate wells up in me and I'll soon be drowning
Lungs filled with blood my mind has shed
If you live by the sword you'll die by the sword
And these blades in my mouth keep tearing and tearing
Just a matter of time til my own skin's splitting

These words call for war and that's what they'll get
And suffer the violence that violence begets

Just like the bee, stinger torn out
I pull and pull til teeth uproot
Torn from my mouth
And as I bleed out
I regret all the words that once poured out

Hate creates conflict and conflict more hate
A spreading disease to seal our fate

Blunt white blades waiting behind crimson curtains
Like swords asleep in their sheaths
Waiting to draw blood

Let not my words be used as weapons
Stop my mind from breeding the disease that is hate
Open my heart to house those that mock me
Let me put violence aside and seek something greater than lust for destruction

So tame my tongue and sheath these teeth
And let love conquer hate
