"Hecate" lyrics - ABBATH

ABBATH
"Hecate"

Ochre dust coats a thousand paths
Arachnid web of twisting guts
Uncoil in hub, flayed to shreds
Shriveled heart torn from withered breast

[Chorus:]
Hecate awaits where crossroads split
Like entrail burst from belly slit

In nexus stark a widow's nest
Silent as stone, still as death
Deep in shadows cast by gallows
Crown, a shroud of crows and arrows

[Chorus:]
Hecate awaits where crossroads split
Like entrail burst from belly slit

[Guitar solo]

Curses drip off swollen tongue
Exhaling gasp of blistered lung
Night's bride sighs gift of scythes
Devours doubt to feed the hives, to feed the hives

[Bridge:]
Feed the hives, feed the hives

Beneath the loll of broken necks
Cracked jaws cackle last regrets
She squats in clot of putrid copse
Disease breathes a kiss which rots

[Chorus:]
Hecate awaits where crossroads split
Like entrail burst from belly slit

[Guitar solo]
