The 6th song of Deftones' Gore is a romantic, enchanting tale from Chino Moreno’s infatuation with an alluring woman/goddess. The title translates to “Infamous Painting”
The universe already sent him in her path, she’s perfect for him. She’s so alluring, it’s beyond a human level.
[Verse 1]
I kneel at the altar
Carve your name
And hail to the gods
I've climbed your tree
I peeled your fruit
When I tasted your kiss
[Post-Verse 1]
How amazing that you were sent
Like you were molded out of thin air
Now I don't want you to disappear
But I want you to carry us out of here
[Verse 2]
We sail through the arc light
Attach the wings
And wait for the gods
We've found your grail
We drank your juice
And we tasted your gift
[Post-Verse 2]
I will wait here one thousand years
I will choose to immerse in your eyes
I've seen the truth, and I know your strength
I have watched your great ascent
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we sing
Now we sing your praises
And now we face the sky
The sky, the sky, the sky
[Chorus]
On top of the crux
I've climbed every rung
To bathe in your sunlight
[Bridge]
I kneel at the altar
I promised you I would stay to the end
I will hold and praise and feel your truth
Now let us drink to the gods
[Outro]
I will sing
I will sing your praises
I will scream
I will scream your praises
