lyrics

Alone and maimed, they wait in vain
For the rescue of their lord
Whom though lone, too, in spite hitherto
Hath cast away as scorn
The flock of sheep, the virgin lamb
The forsaken and forlorn
Amassed a covenant of faith
In the vatican to worship the son of god
But greed prevailed as the seven sins
Engendered in the church
A proud and envious papal lust
That gorged upon the hateful herd

And though the crown were paralysed
To pulpit verses three
A shroud that graced and then fell
Spawned to haunt all hallow's eve
Was feared to discern sadness
Ostricised to behold the score
Now to the east, cast an eye
And know the wrath of thine lord

Soaked in their own blackness
The cowering throng doth hide
Behind the fortress watchtower
The bore witness to their lies
As illuminating talons, wrung
Snatch across the skies
Now yee give heed, these ears that bleed
To thunder-clapping spite

A looming gloom death knell shadow
Sweeps across cold earth
As blooming doom shows faith as shallow
Rife with curses and worse
That his serpent eyes betrayed their
Secret pleasures behind sparse walls
Ecumenical robes and a jackal's mask
And the holy purple sheol

Were cast aside as cards were dealt
That melted like the Queen of scars
In the minds of terrified altar boys
Bent over when jehova left his mark
The lowly father pants breathless
Spies a pearl drop drip down priapic chin
The sentiments of which resound now
Embodied as a metaphor in these vengeful winds

Alas such casualties rained upon the throne
In awe of wondrous tragedies that reigned over Rome
I might, in strategy, conduct once more
Discordant melodies from a blood-penned score

'Twas the turning point whereafter
My kin aroused a deeper faith
Wherein a promised land
Espoused a sicker coiled wraith
Whom rent an awed diocese
By pillaging their estates
And the women and children, plundered
Bore the sting of confessional rape

A chorus of hymnal psalms
Rehearsing in her head
Solaced her enduring wedlock
To the ritually conclusive 'amen'

In throes of vengeful diatribes
I spit curses at thee
A proud, audacious infidel
Burned to scorn for heresy
Now seared to burnt black madness
Sacrificed to uphold the law
A dying martyr's screams
Resound throughout this scrying lore
