Gift of Death
Unveiling the Profound Depths of Mortal Sacrifice
Lyrics
Slaughter the children, to protect the father
Suggests killing the young to protect the authority figure or the leader.
The blood to water
Metaphorical comparison of blood to water, possibly implying the idea of dilution or transformation.
Aware inside my body, trapped in a pool of blood
Feeling conscious within oneself, stuck in a pool of blood.
I dig my fingers in the open sores of the ones who've given up
Engaging with or aggravating the wounds or vulnerabilities of those who have given up.
I hear them suffocate
Hearing the suffocation of others.
They are bloated, a waste of life
Viewing others as useless and a waste of life due to bloating, potentially a metaphor for societal burdens.
Relax my hands, it's a blessing
Relaxing hands as an act of mercy or release from suffering.
Their eyes turn up, I force mine down in the hole
Forcing one's own eyes down, possibly an act of guilt or self-punishment for actions.
The gift of death is such a blessing for us
Seeing death as a gift or relief from suffering.
Cut out my wicked eyes
Requesting removal of one's sinful or corrupted sight.

Cut out my wicked eyes

-Sacrifice like you do your daughters
