Carrion Castigator

from The Slow War of Plantae by Captain Vulpine!

lyrics

Sailing along on to Gallow's Row
Trying to find my fate
I hung myself with sails
So the wind would guide my way
Swinging there on broken branches, I'm a child again
How comforting to know that the beginning predicts the end.

--------------------
Carry on, Carrion.

Sick looking dog with a vagrant man
They comfort each other as best they can
But they both deny their animal needs
They don't eat each other so they both deplete
But man I know if one of 'em goes, the other one bites off the weaker ones nose
Man's best friend, or man's best man, we all end up as food for crows

Carry on, Carrion

Looking in the muzzard's glass eye she sings,
She's grateful for all of these beautiful things
She dreams of flowers, She dreams of rings
Dreams of all the things her life could bring
The heroin's sweet, the money is good
She's finally gonna get out of the neighborhood
She winds up in a third world country out of her mind on a dirty mattress
Where a train of paying strangers fucks the last bit of life out of her.
And she carries on She carries on. Why?

The drugs don't work, the smokes don't work, he says his prayers and he goes to church
But then more problems there arise, he takes communion while they're rubbing his thighs
But people keep breeding and bleeding and searching for meaning
When all of it dies, yeah all of it goes, even the buzzards lick buzzard bones

Culled from the muzzard infested lands of inbetween, Captain Vulpine wanders the ever-dying mortal world in search of nothing at all. Shortly after discovering whiskey, all was lost- and the disastrous memoirs of lands and minds long since gone now linger in these culminations of manifested misery and madness. ... more
