God Speed The Plough 04:31
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
