Let the blackness roll on

Mother's cool reptilian womb
Ain't so cold tonight
My fingers trace the exit wound
By graveyard light

There's bone dust in my throat
And everything is dead
But it's all right
Take it easy
You bleed so easy

Bleed me an ocean
Bleed me an ocean tonight
By electric graveyard light
Bleed me an ocean
Let me rot beneath the sky
Teach me how to die
Bleed me an ocean
As the blossom eats the butterfly
Can you feel the cold death that rides along your spine?

Let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy
Let the blackness roll on
I was sexless in the clouds again
I was chasing the cold, cold wind
I've become bored with flesh and bone again
The deepest alone
I've been riding the turbulence, an ocean of Hades
It's all downhill from here
On the outer nowhere
Let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy
Let the blackness roll on
I was stoned to the drone
Of the blackness that hums
I've become bored with flesh and bone again
The endless hum of the highway drone
I was riding the turbulence, an ocean of Hades
The taste of dead sex on my tounge, on my tounge yeah

Let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy
Let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy

Just like a raindrop
I was born, baby, to fall
And scale these prison walls

It was over before you were born
Sucked into the vacuum
Of this universal tomb
It was over before you were born
Sucked into the vacuum
Of this universal tomb

Old blossom dies, like a young man breathes
The insects hum with their hunger and grieve
An icon of pale bone, static white dream
Blind in the wilderness, everybody scream
I couldn't find my way out the door
We all died... woke up on the floor
Yeah, I ride, yeah...
Yeah, I ride, yeah...

I ride the painted whore
She gives good universal scream
I ride the painted whore
She gives good universal scream
I ride the painted whore
She gives good universal scream
I ride the painted whore
She gives good universal scream

    This song is about what all Acid Bath songs are about... Paganism, the south, doing drugs, and being a Pagan doing drugs in the south. Rock on!

    Acid Bath's slower stuff has often been compared to Soundgarden and Alice in Chains, but I was always reminded of The Doors for whatever reason.
