GRAVE DESECRATION Trust not the proffered oaths of men Pledged to the inadept My lips’ words will pass through yours Confidence lo by corpses kept And mourn we not as you fall As you’ve lived for far too long We shall pull you out from beneath the ground And remind you of all your wrongs We shall pull you out from beneath the ground And remind you of all your wrongs You were wrong to have trusted them You were wrong to have ignored the call You were wrong to have faith in men I was wrong to have beget them all Pages leafed in gold With deception therein writ As you read the gilded tomes Your throat’s already slit Our waking has become a thorn Lo a dagger in the flesh In a last gasp of breath We’ll all acquiesce In a last gasp of breath We’ll all acquiesce You were wrong to have trusted them You were wrong to have ignored the call You were wrong to have faith in men I was wrong to have beget them all

WOLF IN THE FOLD See what you’ve done 'Tis round my neck A hard rope knit That shall not break upon the chair step we aloft And now the will to step we off And you shall answer Why throw myself Before the stones When what your are Is now made known You killed us both. Our futures, end When you allowed The first one in When you allowed The first one in When you allowed The first one in When you allowed the first one in And you will answer

THE MAY REPORT How stop us then the dog's howling in June? Have we the forethought and shoot him in May. How end us then reviled shrieks of a child? Have we the forethought, rend their tongue away. How halt we then decries in false blood? Have we the forethought to show no remorse. Let them cry and let them die. Let them drown by our force, perforce We’ve not forgot. How stop we disciples of reprobate men? Facing them down, blind in the sun. How stop us those by their orders, obeyed? Finding thus comfort, a report of a gun How stop us then all that’s been writ? Failing the truth that’s from tortures, derived Let them cry and let them die You’ll ne’er be a martyr being barely alive. We’ve not forgot Let them lie and let them cry Let them die. Hurrah Hurrah. We’ve not forgot.

Scry 03:24
Scry And with deceit, deride And wrongly circumscribed And as the framework, brake And then from onus, shrake And by lies you scry’d Thus are lies, divined In failing truth So break his hands And not by stave nor rod And feign the weeds of god And scriven, penned, astray And burn the lines away And by lies you scry’d Thus are lies, divined In failing truth So break his hands And deaf'd, the welkin’s ear And incant and disappear And with a silenced thrum And yea at last, succumb And by lies you scry’d Thus are lies, divined In failing truth So break his hands
