Geppetto Lyrics

I'm inky and I'm black
Encased in ivory white
Screaming from the battlements
Of the glorious and unseen
With words that betray a darkened heart
Like filth from the mouth of a beauty queen

Vipers writhing
Onward and upward
Beat down the gates
With wings and wax
Soar higher and higher
Storm ye the throne
And find only the Mount

I'm charred to the bone
Stripped bare of the snowcap
Whispering in your ear
Of all the tests I'll never pass
With words that reveal a need for you
Like grace from the mouth of a weary ass
