Bridegroom of Blood

I'm t-tired and d-dirty and old

L-like m-mildew covered with m-mold

S-something is shining at m-me

L-L-like a l-ight nobody c-c-can ss-ee

M-My heart is t-turning t-to stone

Inside a s-sack f-full of b-bones

S-Something is sh-sh-shining at m-me...

N-No! Not m-m-me!

N-No! N-n-not m-m-me!

A t-tree s-surrounded b-by f-flame

C-Called to m-me by b-my name

And m-made m-me promise to lead

The n-needy out of their n-need

Our little baby

He's c-c-crying

Our little baby

He's c-c-crying

Our little baby

He's c-c-crying

A lonely lingering bark

Awakened me in the dark

And as i silently stared

A figure formed in the air

With teeth intending to eat

My husband who was asleep

He was tiny and weak

With eyes so tender and sweat

And as he laid in my arms

So safe from hunger and harm

I took the edge of a rock

And sliced the skin from his cock

Yes, I sliced the skin from his cock
