Exorcism Schism

from The Slow War of Plantae by Captain Vulpine!

lyrics

There is a sound beneath the ground below a town under a spiral crown of tyranny
I found a hound to track her gown and found her bound and drowned and broken, by the sea.

Upon my search I passed a church, I felt a lurch and heard the spastic frantic screeching of worshiping
They felt the light, felt him inside, they fought the fight, knew they were right
And then they killed my wife

Don't say your prayers, there isn't time
I leave my wreckage at the chime
The ether says it's in the cards
The other side sends its regards

She was my lark, she wasn't right
She was my dark in the light
She had her demons
Well I've got mine
I'll show the church my holy fire

Falling to the western edge of time
I summon Gaezel and saunter on inside
Calling to Sinzerel of the Grime
I enlist Azazel to join us and imbibe
Stalling and feeding from them I'm inclined to smile, I must confide
Falling and bleeding from their stymied patheticisms
I laugh and let my demons rise

Glanced at the place, set it ablaze and through the haze I swore
I hear a murmuring
I made my way through the maze and as I gaze upon the gore
Alas! A gurgling
It's some poor fool renouncing Christ, what a jewel this wretched feist
If I were nice, I'd let him die
But I've got needs and so do they
I let my demons at the prey
And call upon the frey

Hell comes from behind the eyes
Your god's a sickness, forsake the tithe
Fulcrum circumspect lies
Saw the sickness in hive and flies
Legion inhabits, defies
You fought the thicket, beseech the tide
Welcome to the other side
You bought the ticket, now take the ride

Keine Entschädigung für schwache Seelen

Hell comes from behind the eyes
Your god's a sickness, forsake the tithe
Fulcrum circumspect lies
Saw the sickness in hive and flies
Legion inhabits, defies
You fought the thicket, beseech the tide
Welcome to the other side
You bought the ticket

Jetzt du sterben

Captain Vulpine! Portland, Oregon

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
