A row of rotted teeth
In a wide smile so neat
I collected bird bones in the forest
Near the river's edge
And nailed up on the trees
Was a rotted mouse body
The vultures circled overhead
So i got on my hands and knees

Made a shrine to Venus and asked her
If she can make you fall a little faster
I took the blade
And cut my hand
And let the blood trickle down

It's our ritual
You're the rose at the altar
That I set on fire
It's our ritual
You're the rose at the altar
That i set on fire

A row of broken teeth
They call me a faggot
And punch me in threes
I collected bird bones in the forest
Near the river's edge

It's our ritual
You're the rose at the altar
That I set on fire
It's our ritual
You're the rose at the altar
That i set on fire

It's our ritual
You're the rose at the altar
That I set on fire
It's our ritual
You're the rose at the altar
That i set on fire
