lyrics

lashed, the graves of kinder hearts
sent sanctity to harm
fault be found where malice starts
faith in hollow charm

you, the saint of dreams bespoiled
left promises to fail
you, ouroboros uncoiled
swallowing your tail

in the violence of the night
across the fields afire
borne aloft in stuttered flight
the poetry of the liar

underneath the bloody sky
the seraphim shriek, aghast
underneath the bloody lie
i saw through you at last

you jezebel
you jezebel

at the edge of heaven's grace
awash in tides of light
you wore a dress of snow-flecked lace
a sash of shimmered white

but 'round you all the feathers fell
the cinder mourning star
singed you with the fires of hell
and left a burning scar

i felt your perfect iron wings
believed your perfect smile
but when you spoke of brighter things
you meant only denial

underneath the ashen sky
the seraphim shriek, agahst
underneath the ashen lie
i saw through you at last

you jezebel
you jezebel
you jezebel
you jezebel
