The Pillar Of Souls

I slept for five days In stillness, I laid full of demonic visions My still life remains like the path of a pigeon That flew into flames from the rivals of Hell Raised from the dead to save my soul J.P. Monroe tied up his ghost Life was just like a camera show Captured in song, my life gives blood It's all flesh in my mind I can't wait to inscribe All the names that I've read in the blood of your knife Heaven and Hell await all who give of their life I've been waiting this time Now covered in chains (now covered in chains) My skin is ablated with bleeding incision And still, life remains, my cadaver imprisoned As you shall retain me and raise me from hell Cenobite seized within the throes To be released from the Pillar of Souls Dragged from the dark, my love extolled Bring me the beast, my life gives blood It's all flesh in my mind I can't wait to describe All the dead that I've raised with the blood of your knife Heaven help me await all who give of their life Drink the blood of my wine Drink the blood of my wine Drink the blood of my wine --- The Pillar of Souls - Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine
