They Bring It Forth

[Verse 1]
Stand atop the mountain bare
The stench of dying fills the air
Sterile white and cold despair
"Don't tell anyone"
Spur the dying of the light
Push it down into the night
Snuff it out where they might
"Don't tell anyone"

[Chorus]
In the dark they bring it forth
They scream and scream but nothing comes
Maybe he's just fast asleep?
Why don't you try some more?

[Bridge]
"Nail it down into our head
Our bloody cross will be fed
To offer up pound by pound
His broken head must be bound
Break it down beneath our feet
We have power, we're discreet
Tell no one, not a soul
We are here, we're in control"
"And we bring it forth
Break this curse
Upon our lord"

[Verse 2]
"Oh my god, come back to us"
They scream and scream but nothing comes
"Can't you hear us, can't you see
We call to you but you don't speak"
"We reach out into the black
Reach for you but cannot grasp
We flow the blood to fill the glass
But we haven't heard a sound"

[Chorus]
Broken Baal his head did fall
They drain the blood to fill the scar
Sew the stitch, inch by inch
To call him from the dark
