lyrics

By placing stones on your back step,
I’ve stretched this hole around my head.
Scribed by those whom I’ve crushed into gravel,
I’ve read to you a page from a peasant’s travels.
I peel back those ancient wings,
and keep the dead parts around;
piled high upon my black plate.
I can’t recall the weakness I’ve spent
on all the time stretching out behind me.
Adept at finding middles, I make no sound.
I whisper backward riddles
through a hole in the ground.
You peel back those dying wings,
and give the best parts away;
piled high around your back gate,
Oh the ground at your feet does quake.
We are folded up in increments, wondering,
what are these buttons for?
The light does not lead back to where it all began.
Speaking of the drowned and departed, don’t look down.
So sick and amused, the cunning and charmed
will find a way and an excuse to hold you down
in the thick of it all.
We are wrapped in tyrant’s wings.
Kicking the dead parts around,
piled high on some blackened plate.
The ground grows fat with the graves.
It’s cold, and we slide along through
old replies and currents strong
enough to take me over.
The light does not lead back to where it all began.

Nasty occult stoner doom. Those fuzzy riffs are awesome and the psychedelic vocals are insane. Put your headphones on, grab a bottle of beer and listen to this while you sacrifice your enemies. Sælzer Bub
