lyrics

The victims wept benath the weight of sacrifice
Bitter tears, sweet nectar for the buzzing flies
Truth wrapped up in legends, fed by lies
Simple facts enhanced by chants and cries
Whorls of pollen mixed with blood
Garlands of spring flowers caked with mud
As the congregation stares agog
Gathered round these gaping wounds insode the holy bog

As the blood congeals the deal is sealed
The brideprice paid the pact is made
As three times over the victim in his flower
The goddess’ own lover is slain

Drugged beyond all conscience and all sense
Ready for the ritual to commence
Held up by a noose around his neck
Skyclad, by flowers all bedecked
Bludgeoned in the head, the throat is cut
Ergot of rye rumbling in his gut
Garroted until the tongue protrudes
Then sunk into the mire in the nude

As the blood congeals the deal is sealed
The brideprice paid the pact is made
As three times over the victim in his flower
The goddess’ own lover is slain

Dirty water flooding virgin lungs
Filling with the fetid fluids of the stagnant pool
Clinging to live’s very bottom rung
Sinking as you’re drinking of the phlegm of death and drool

As the blood congeals the deal is sealed
The brideprice paid the pact is made
As three times over the victim in his flower
The goddess’ own lover is slain

And so, gaunt and grinning underneath the ginger capo f tangled hair
Gurning through eternal night, so far away yet near
Years of lonely holiness
There is a vertigo behind those empty eyesockets
Spiralling into the future of our race
Skin strecthed over sallow face
Give, surrender, receive
The mysteries of sacrifice, believe

As the blood congeals the deal is sealed
The brideprice paid the pact is made
As three times over the victim in his flower
The goddess’ own lover is slain

As the blood congeals the deal is sealed
The brideprice paid the pact is made
As three times over the victim in his flower
The goddess’ own lover is slain
