He Who Spawned the Furies...

hey, idk if i should do this... but... i sat here for like 2 hours trying to figure out the lyrics and i finally, definitely got 'em. I really enjoyed the fact that Matt didn't say what every track was about, this allowed me to discover the story through hearing bits and pieces and then putting them together to finally hearing the whole song. it was a fun ass journey (and a pain in the ass!). if you go to wikipedia and type in "cronus" or "the furies" you understand the story of it.
that being said, this is probably the saddest Trivium chorus of all time imo, because it's through the perspective of his children... 
"The after birth flesh barely dry
  When the king of ruling time (?)
  Comes with a sickle in his hand, to devour.
  Devour! Detonate the chaos
  Devour! Castrating the father
  Devour! Fearing his oracle
  Devour! Swallows children whole, swallows children whole.
 
  Take your teeth out of me
  I have just begun to breathe on my own.
  I don't know what this is,
  These eyes can hardly see,
  What is eating me.
  The prisoners rotting in their cells
  Children of this Godless hell
  Digesting in acidic blood, the devoured. 
  Devour! Detonate the chaos
  Devour! Castrating the father
  Devour! Fearing his oracle
  Devour! Swallows children whole, swallows children whole.
  Take your teeth out of me
  I have just begun to breathe on my own.
  I don't know what this is,
  These eyes can hardly see,
  What is eating me x 2
  He who spawned the furies
  From the genitals of his father
  Deliveries of his furies,
  The goddess of Love
  With the father's scrotum (i could be wrong here lol)
  The ground for the Erinyes (and this last line sounds funny still)
  He who spawned the furies x2
 
  With wings of birds
  Eyes dripping blood
  Winged torment to the
  Criminals! Criminals!
  Take your teeth out of me
  I have just begun to breathe on my own.
  I don't know what this is,
  These eyes can hardly see,
  What is eating me"  x 2
--whew!-- there ya go ;)
**if a mod or any one of the guys thinks i should take 'em down cuz the album still isn't "out yet" i'll definitely do so ;D

Here is the chorus to scylla and charybdis I think, there are 2 lines that are hard to make out
Divided by deaths landing
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my hope in two
I find that death's the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my hope in two
I'm going to try to figure out the lyrics to Shogun such a masterpiece

Torn between death and doom
Destruction my decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
I find that death's the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction my decision
