lyrics

smoke and bile, smoke and bile
flowing long and backwards as the mean ol Nile
sin and kicks, sin and kicks
there’s a kid skippin stones on the river Styx

deep and muddy, deep and muddy
blood don’t run clean, it don’t run for money

rust only comes for strength that gleams
dust only settles on the pure and clean
everything you’re doing, you’re doing to yourself
you’ve never said a word to anyone else

all shall tread and none shall enter
the way and door both made of splinters

the eyes can fear but cannot see
the mind whispers lies of clarity
the lungs heave on but draw no breath
the heart beats out a long slow death

the gut is true, the gut is free
like a snake laid long in a rootless tree

all shall tread and none shall enter
all shall tread and none shall enter
