God Speed The Plough
04:31

God speed the plough
This soul severed all
The tendons that tied the hound
It gnaws
The sores
And draws
The flood that cascades
And clouds
The wells that we poured
From jugs into eager mouths
The laws of cause deride the tulip
Shame these luddites
Born and raised
As the liver that feeds your gout
Chain these doe-eyed
Fawns that fake
Every dream they've been allowed
Still blind
Maimed, these young
Luddites
Claw their veins
Fawning
Over shame they've idealised
Blamed, these young
Luddites
Saw your faith
Falling down
God speed the plough
The eyes of the old
Can’t see that the soil
Has soured
The oil, they boil, the toil
For nitrates that feed the crowd
The bulls and their horns
They trample the vines without
A thought for all the wine we’re making
Oh god speed the plough, speed the plough
Oh god speed the plough
Shame these luddites
Born and raised
As the liver that feeds your gout
Chain these doe-eyed
Fawns that fake
Every dream they’ve been allowed
Still blind
Maimed, these young
Luddites
Claw their veins
Fawning
Over shame they've idealised
Blamed, these young
Luddites
Saw your faith
Falling down

Golden Idols
04:46
|
|||
Hold them in the fire
Golden idols weep
Golden idols weep
Melted tears roll down their cheeks
Golden idols weep
The fulcrum of the pious
The reins of your conceit
The whores that wash your feet
Messianic callings creep
Golden idles weep
Hide the blood from your eyes
These pure pesticides
Deforming your calm
Cloying in your mouth
The sweetness drowns
The brain with its charms
Even eyes with no sight
See the light from these stars
Poison in your mouth
It trickles down
Bathing your heart
But even I
Hold my
I hold my
I hold my tongue
Change your skin and cry
Holy eyes will weep
Holy eyes will weep
Glorify your sins and sleep
Holy eyes will weep
Dreams of the divine
Blessed are the meek
Who turn the other cheek
Narcissistic callings creep
Holy eyes will weep
Wipe the mud from your eyes
These pure pesticides
Deforming your calm
Cloying in your mouth
The sweetness drowns
The brain with its charms
Even eyes with no sight
See the light from these stars
Poison in your mouth
It trickles down
Bathing your heart
But even I
Hold my
I hold my
I hold my tongue

Faust
05:32
|
|||
Seal my mouth
God is waiting
For these sounds
Our lips are making
Cold, lined scowls
Scarred and wailing
Churn my bowels
And leer with soulless eyes
Still I choke on
Words I've spoken
Seal my open mouth
Heal my swollen
Senile Faust
Kill this mould I’m
Breathing out
He lies waiting old and vile
Still I gave him gold
Feel my drought
This carcass caving
In around a
Heart still failing
Feed my mouth
I'm starved and shaking
Lungs dried out
And tarred with soiled desires
Still I choke on
Words I've spoken
Seal my open mouth
Heal my swollen
Senile Faust
Kill this mould I’m
Breathing out
He lies waiting old and vile
Still I gave him gold
Leaves on the vine
Breath in the light
Peel back the rind
This thread is divine
Sold slaves of time
Grieve on the line
Gears crack the spine
This dread isn’t mine

Red Sand
04:00
|

Red sand in their mouths
Failed to spit it out
Said they’d die for love
Not from eyes above
One more empty house
Lingers with the doubt
Guns they tried to trust
Just weren’t wise enough
So tell me
Who’s in favour now?
In favour now?
When flesh dissolves
And feeds the ground
In favour now
In favour now
The blessed consoled
Made shameful vows
Blood sprayed on the tiles
Mixes with the bile
The one that shelled and shot
Never smells the rot
Sons paid by the crown
Bring the ceiling down
Machines they drive for us
Redefine the dove
So tell me
Who’s in favour now?
In favour now?
When flesh dissolves
And feeds the ground
In favour now
In favour now
The blessed consoled
Made shameful vows

Mesmerise
05:30
|

Eager lines
With their pages signed
Bleed by design
Let these lesions feed your deepest desires
Clean and bare
Breath the xenon air
Meat might tear
But these lesions ease the sickness inside
This lost cause
Will mesmerise
And peel the lids from off your eyes
These four walls you've sanctified
Redeem your doubt
This discourse
You neutralise with intravenous anodynes
While these short
Procedures slice
Your blistered mouth
Peeled and shed
Swollen cheeks are red
These eyes have bled
Let these heathens feel your molten insides
Hear their lies
See the lancets shine
Teeth might grind
As these heathens peel your skin from thin lines
Lie in the light
As your cry
For the knife
This lost cause
Will mesmerise
And peel the lids from off your eyes
These four walls you've sanctified
Redeem your doubt
This discourse
You neutralise with intravenous anodynes
While these short
Procedures slice
Your blistered mouth
These eager lines
Are mesmerised
These treatments sold
Increase their desires
Xenon
Isoflurane
Desflurane
Sevoflurane
