About this song
He ate a mountain in a single night, leaving only dust and a thirst that could never be quenched. From the jagged peaks of Akoum, a cultist whispers a prayer to the hunger that carved the world, the void that now lives in his teeth.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] I walked behind you up the shaking rock, close enough to taste the sulfur off your back. Not Ulamog. Only his shadow, four arms lifted like a man at prayer. [Hook] You ate a mountain in one night, you left me white stone and thirst. Akoum still holds your shape. I drink because you did. [Verse 2] I whispered your name into the dark before the rest had learned to scream it back. Where water was, you left me pale chalk. I took blood so I would not go white. [Hook] You ate a mountain in one night, you left me white stone and thirst. Akoum still holds your shape. I drink because you did. [Turn] Nahiri put you down with her own stone and sealed the crack you slipped through long ago. You did not end. You moved into my teeth. Every hunger since has carried your name. [Hook] You ate a mountain in one night, you left me white stone and thirst. Akoum still holds your shape. I drink because you did.
