Say you now your prayers to god
And lay you down to sleep
Commend your soul your human woes
And beg to be his keep
I warn you all you waste your breath
For no god hears your cry
Your mortal coil’s surrendered though
To feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
No spawn of hell knows you as well
No wisdom is as true
No faith as strong as time is long
What lies in store for you
So beg you now forgiveness for your sins
I bid you try
Your reasonings are seasonings
To feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
Conceived of lust and born to dust
Your life lies in between
Confusions spell hides time so well
That nothing’s what it seems
And so you quest for your success
Or for some goal you strive
Then like the beast become the feast
To feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
Oh child of hate condemned to wait
For years piled up on years
Your passioned pleas on bended knee
Are not but cautioned fears
For all that lives is claimed by time
And nothing may deny
And all that’s man shall have it’s end
To feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye
Feed the maggot eye.
