In Roman mythology, Laverna was a goddess of thieves, cheats and the underworld. She was propitiated by libations poured with the left hand. The poet Horace and the playwright Plautus call her a goddess of thieves.

lyrics

Amanchara's gone, been gone too long.
The creature that was once bare was holding on.
I feel the disdain, it drives me insane
like a banshee that keeps screaming my name.

The breeze of a wave, the end of the day,
the death of a man who was barely awake.
His skin is so cold, his breath was like mold.
It's hard to find a way to escape.

(instrumental chorus)

Is this what you wanted? I can't seem to shake this disease.
Open up your filthy mouth and swallow all that you need!
Today's rotted away by insufferable amounts that you take.
Today's taken away by the one fell swoop of your blade.

(instrumental chorus)

LAVERNA, I'm coming home!
You and me, we're finally all alone!
