lyrics
Adornment
I sing the songs of old taught to me by the lonely priests of my childhood, my childhood
They lift and carry me with the softest touch, the softest touch
We begin to ascend into the sky
The climbing monks they carry me on their backs
They ascend up the tree so effortlessly
All the bodies of the faithful and the fiends
Still hanging on the tree fill me with a feeling of light
The delinquent is on her knees spitting blood, spitting blood
She must burn in jealousy knowing that I will ascend to heaven
She’ll rot for our god, for her sins
The desiccated carcasses and rotting flesh
Of the hundreds who have been slain for this putrid rite
So many that have given themselves to their lord
So many that have been adorned against their will for your god
As I’m drug up the tree dangling, dangling
From ropes tied to the priests, these hanging priests, the filthy beasts
I swing and slam into the tree
I stare into the faces of the dead
They’re soulless yet they seem to call to me
They suffered their last moments here on the tree
The hundreds who have died for this loathsome deity
The poundings like some relentless cold dead heart
Extracted from my worst nightmares and brought to life
The hammer meets the nail then it rips through flesh
To bind you to your god just as you wish, for eternity
We’ve marched to the tree
As we ascend you’ll see this is our destiny
As the blood flows our god descends and we become one
The stench of rot makes me retch
Bile rises in my throat and spews from my lips
I scream and curse at these hanging priests
As they haul us up the tree
You all believe that this tree will grant you life
Lift me up; nail me down, so I may feel god’s love
All your promises are lies there is nothing
Hoist me up; tie me down, there is no god above
The perfume of the sacrifices
To me is sweeter than honey
And it is more intoxicating
Than the finest of wines
The smell of decay overwhelms me
My mind lost in agony
My body shivers with disgust as the horror sets in
I sing the songs of old taught to me by the lonely priests of my childhood, my childhood
They lift and carry me with the softest touch, the softest touch
We begin to ascend into the sky
The climbing monks they carry me on their backs
They ascend up the tree so effortlessly
All the bodies of the faithful and the fiends
Still hanging on the tree fill me with a feeling of light
The delinquent is on her knees spitting blood, spitting blood
She must burn in jealousy knowing that I will ascend to heaven
She’ll rot for our god, for her sins
The desiccated carcasses and rotting flesh
Of the hundreds who have been slain for this putrid rite
So many that have given themselves to their lord
So many that have been adorned against their will for your god
As I’m drug up the tree dangling, dangling
From ropes tied to the priests, these hanging priests, the filthy beasts
I swing and slam into the tree
I stare into the faces of the dead
They’re soulless yet they seem to call to me
They suffered their last moments here on the tree
The hundreds who have died for this loathsome deity
The poundings like some relentless cold dead heart
Extracted from my worst nightmares and brought to life
The hammer meets the nail then it rips through flesh
To bind you to your god just as you wish, for eternity
We’ve marched to the tree
As we ascend you’ll see this is our destiny
As the blood flows our god descends and we become one
The stench of rot makes me retch
Bile rises in my throat and spews from my lips
I scream and curse at these hanging priests

The smell of decay overwhelms me
My mind lost in agony
My body shivers with disgust as the horror sets in

The Moon is Disgusting
by That 1 GuyAmazing live, you might imagine his strength is in the novelty of his solo performance or his irreverent lyrics...That 1 Guy is a seriously awesome musician and his album stands up on this strength.

Super cool red vinyl. Sounds even better than it looks, Last song was the stand out for me but that's not to say the others are not any less. The whole album is killer just "Beastmasters" completes the album and a great song to close it out.
