Theme

An elegy for the darkness that resides inside most people. Just as spillways prevent a dam from overflowing, this song suggests that the inner darkness within humanity needs an outlet or release. The metaphor explores how repressed shadow-self and suppressed emotions must find a way out to prevent psychological and spiritual overflow.

Lyrics
Through benediction You tried to rid your mind Of malediction But through all this time You try to peel it off And it is such a ride Your desolation Led you into this Vile incarnation Of consummated bliss I know you need it now To make you feel alive All your faith All your rage All your pain It ain't over now And I ain't talking about forgiveness All your faith All your rage All your pain It ain't over now It is the cruel beast that you feed It is your burning, yearning need to bleed Through the Spillways... You keep a casket Buried deep within You try to mask it But fall back in sin You want to shake it off But you are stuck inside When stripped of rags Of skin and spine Human decay Corpus Dei Terminally dispelled And it is such a ride All your faith All your rage All your pain It ain't over now And I ain't talking about forgiveness All your faith All your rage All your pain It ain't over now It is the cruel beast that you feed It is your burning, yearning need to bleed Through the Spillways Through the Spillways of your soul Through the Spillways... [Guitar Solo] It is the cruel beast that you feed It is your burning, yearning need to bleed Through the Spillways Through the Spillways of your soul Through the Spillways Through the Spillways of your soul Through the Spillways Through the Spillways of your soul Through the Spillways Through the Spillways of your soul
