Mea Culpa - Beauty In Wrath lyrics

Verse 1
For everyone who's having more fun than me tonight,
Know this like you once knew God, I want to eat you alive
And for everyone who's feeling beautiful and loved tonight
Know with utter certainty that all that's good in your life is going to die

Chorus
No time for subtlety
(I'm gonna ride with Kali tonight!)
Look into the abyss, it looks back at me
(On the ride with Kali tonight!)
I'll learn to love brutality
(When I ride with Kali tonight!)
1st: Look into the abyss, somewhere in there is me
2nd: And we've both become what she wants us to be
(On the ride with Kali tonight!)

Verse 2
Yeah, I've danced with Kali before, back then I was underfoot
That was long before I woke up, before I understood
That there's a sacred silence in clamor, and there's a certain beauty in wrath
And there's a kind of ecstacy that comes from your knife in my back

(CHORUS)

Bridge
And I see our childhoods huddled together on an endless stretch of ice
Confused and grieving forever at our empty sacrifice
And I feel a darkness rising and you know I know wrath
And there's a certain beauty in it and what it leaves in its path

And I see our childhood float away on an empty stretch of ice
Heartbroken, pleading forever, please don't make this sacrifice
And I feel a darkness rising and you know I know wrath
And there's a certain beauty in it and what it leaves in its path

Outro
I'm living in the shadow
Of the wing of the thing that's too big to be seen

So I ride
with Kali tonight
