1.	To Deafen The Sky 04:18	lyrics	buy track
speaking so softly, so soft and unseen slowly they walk as though in a dream form out of phase, a face with no kind walking the space between space and time don the black hood to deafen the sky floating in space, disjointed from time standing upright, a sight so malign leaving their flesh and their psyche behind blank is the face, a void of stars gaze and behold celestial scars breathe and imbibe, the well of your fears to draw you to lust and rapturous tears blind to the beast, now guiding your hand to know your self, a once foreign land the woods of thy self are lovely indeed so taste of your self and walk with me blank is thy face, a void of stars gaze and behold celestial scars drink in deep the loveliest tears absent your self from pious fear cry, denied your might and mind a lie, a lie, they eat you alive cry, deny their yoke to bind a lie, a lie, you stamp out their lie i will unbind the root of your sign a lie, a lie, i trample your lie cry, denied no more the parasite fed off our love to eat us alive fool, regard the depth of our rite gaze and behold the innermost light lost in aeons' cloak-of-night your might your mind forgotten in time speaking so softly, so soft and unseen slowly they walk as though in a dream form out of phase, a face with no kind walking the space between space and time
2.	Rope Trick 03:04	lyrics	buy track
so hangs the heaviest of heads no pulse, a frozen look of dread wound up the flesh with wire and strap pulling it taut to pull you back arms tightly in, legs drawing back a rattling exhale to trap vacate the form to let the spirit in to see what they see an oracle made of the dead a twitching nerve puppets the head sinew unwound like silken thread slipping the snare it slowly spread ... i see you..what did you think...that i'd serve you..oh what a laugh let's try these on, a little ragged wire never hurt anyone and now bound to my will you'll soon beg me to kill and i never will and now your form is fading slow a throbbing wound there crying low hollow just like the siren soul carried away the wind does blow remains a stain blue-black and thick whimper and sighing oil slick vanishing with a greedy lick now that's one hell ..of a trick
3.	Twin Grave Stage Stop 04:23	lyrics	buy track
life, did spring, from blood, and love in twain borne, of grief, the town, was built on pain two, men loved, were lynched, and watching they did, nothing, to stop, the two men hang his grave did sprout the courthouse steps and his became the cruel jailer's nest bound, to their se'prate graves, hundred lonesome years, hundred yards a- way, always longing hate, inherited, and coded deep, within our genes, passed on and on, our unjust soul, will hang us all, when justice calls, and so we fall wake unto death oh my lovely and rise unto life and find me and walk as alive beside me now walk out of town beside me now, they fade, from the scene the town turned mold and did cleave rot, as a tooth, and now fade bury thy recessive trait and rot, and rot, and rot, and rot
4.	Wounded Nail Melody 04:20	lyrics	buy track
walk in dream naked to the spirit there weeping hollow eyed child sit wooden clacking dry as bone morbid tune like a grave stone can you saunter can you gavotte can you dance the garotte kicking it out you flail about your tune as it's choked out dig in and span the wire strand can you waltz a dead man limply you twitch your throat a stitch as your head is unhitched now scream with out (a) sound scream with out (a) sound trapped in bones that are astray and lost without home i am astray and lost empty room, dismal and still wooden tune, spine slowly chill lodged inside, gruesome display music box, in my ribcage torn out nails, tapping the tune rhythmically, they start to croon will it tell, something arcane will it spell, some horrid name
5.	Gallows God 04:34	lyrics	buy track
break now the neck broke, the neck broke there high upon the bough broke with a snap that, a snap that woke the darkness in the wood woke now and weary, the wood waits there inside the hanging man wait for the word life, a rune scratched into the swinging man's thigh someone did come, someone did wake, carving in life, summoning night speak and speak quick for breath is not long to be drawn within your chest sight beyond sight and knowing all laugh at the gall of someone so weak and now gape that ruddy maw wide and deep red with jagged twigs sucking for air though drowning in blood as a fish strains in the air behold black moth the first vessel slide in spread out your great tendril and now i see before me a black monarch like a monolith with two broken jaws like angel wings yawning in the dusk and where there is one there will be legion to keep the woods lovely and dark indeed
6.	The Waters Made Bitter 04:37	lyrics	buy track
they make bitter so bitter, of the well that we drink with that poison three headed, root of all foul things on each head it is written, call it Hate and Mistrust Ignorance their young sibling, making poison the dust little rat therein drowning, spoils our water supply with a parasite gnawing, all the love from our mind and a new gospel calling, our family to divide along color and gender, and religion the line now behold the wake a tide foaming with hate there lingering still a thirst never fulfilled a worm, standing 'fore me a church, built on cruelty and hate, all that they laud for that, is its true god all wounds, they prod with glee revel, (in) its festering behold, close as you come the form, (of) the faceless one ten thousand veils gloomy and pale obscuring itself with endless wealth ten thousand tongue laughing twist, wicked and obscene, poison every virtuous thing thousand faces scream submit to cruelty, (or) spit upon the face of the fiend
7.	To Whet Your Teeth 03:39	lyrics	buy track
formless thought, deep and evil festering, psychic tumor manifest, shadow self splitting wide, mind, to birth i can see it in its primal state eyes obscured whispering grisly fate suckling at a distended teat malice oozing as it slowly feeds turn and stare at your self darker than overt hate is the eye turned away is the hand, now, withheld fight the shadow growing inside you turning violently your eye from truth steel thy nerve and now to whet your teeth primal, the scream stabbing fear into your apathy drown your prejudice in endless sleep stoke thy heart with all the love you can and then, again stand upright, for what's right stand and fight, for, justice

down in the mud, 'fore the flood vast was the land, of god's hand dagger divine, out of line faith run amok, hate god struck good from their heart, a cruel art spit up and see, clear as dream dagger in hand, zealot and cleric sole reign, cruel and profane purging, cru-cified burn the books, waste the wise spin, fever mind, moaning heap gouged out eyes, arms out stretch to the sky, senseless tongue deaf'ning praise, deaf'ning cries pay heed, hear my cry sea will ride, unto our door the once, distant shore soon to be, distant no more this land, and your crown bearing down, into our grave and our, nation's tomb endless sea, (a)nonymous waves and so, earth did shake, earth did moan and sank like a stone the sea, storm our gates, from all sides skyward is the tide tram-pling, kith and kin, for seconds more life ra-venous, and mad eyed, franticly we climb prec-ious inch, 'gainst a league, and now with no time dis-tant sun, now obscured, beneath a cold tide
9.	Fearless, He Sinks 03:41	lyrics	buy track
rising, there high above the fray swords like a sea fearing, the inevitable swords like a sea no, we plead, no, not me no, we plead, please, not me and, we plead, act, justly calm the wind, still the wave put the sea to sleep calm the wind, still their hate put the sea to sleep va-cant eyed, mercy, my judge fearless he sinks into an endless dream fearless he sinks into an endless dream
10.	A Dirty Little Grin That Hangs Like A Noose 03:30	lyrics	buy track
aching to be in ecstasy longing, to shed the disguise begging to know suppliant soul writhing, in my hungry maw aching to feed weary and weak witness, my horrid disguise beauty, without kind, a smile, wicked eyed, en- trancing, vacant mind, in pleasure, as you die plummet, deeper still, a warming, liquid thrill, she's going, for the kill, e- rasing, your fee-ble will kneel low, breath slow kneel low, breath slow kneeling low and echoing, my motion, in all things, you stare now deep into my eyes, a trance like, pulsing light, now planting your root in the mud, a warming, mass of blood, just throbbing there beneath the skin, i quiver, and begin and now i, peel it back pink skin to crack, my petals dance hungry in, your glance oblivious, your body thrust into my great, gaping maw ensnaring tentacle, to shred and pull still dazzling, you do not scream your vacant eye, and vapid smile disintegrate, in fanged scrape
