in this body
before this body
all your hands are stained with blood
you who wish
to see us dead
such iniquitous design
hang me from the tyburn tree
among the gallows
you see me sway
a prime example
of moral decay
among your subjects
in hatred's sway
a shining beacon
of misplaced faith
take that rope and tie my noose
take that rope and tie my noose
in this body
before this body
who are you to be my judge?
you who wish
to see us dead
silence is complicity
hang me from the tyburn tree
among the gallows
you see me sway
a prime example
of moral decay
among your subjects
in hatred's sway
a shining beacon
of misplaced faith
take that rope and tie my noose
take that rope and tie my noose
heat from fire
and fire from heat
in the face of your oppression
i bear witness
and i have bled
in the name of my conviction
power concedes nothing
heat from fire
and fire from heat
you believe i am a demon
power concedes nothing
i am death
and i am legion
we are many here as one
i have lain
upon the altar
as the sacrificial lamb
what are you willing to lose?
what is this but genocide?
you have sinned
and you have lied
your coffers brim
with the blood of those who died
and you have drunk
from poisoned streams
your chalice filled
with the blood of the diseased
yet here you stand
to guide your flock
and on they march
along the bosque
and from your cup
they drink so deep
and never ask
for why you weep
you will fall from
heaven's heights
claiming that you've
seen such sights
but we know
you are blind
neither cleansed
nor divine
you shall drown in
a lake of fire
carried by your
acolytes
but we know
you are blind
neither cleansed
nor divine
searing flesh
melting eyes
boiling blood
sweet demise
in this body
before this body
in this body
before this body
how much blood is on your hands?
you who wear the stolen crown
never shall your tower stand
brick by brick, we'll tear it down

i have seen the face of evil
in each of you
who call us demons
you will be abandoned
in the guillotines you built for us
break the bonds upon your soul
fix your hearts or die
your betrayal of humanity
shall be judged
by your creator
you will be abandoned
in the guillotines you built for us
break the bonds upon your soul
fix your hearts or die
murder me and I shall haunt you
for all eternity
not even
not even your hell
not even your hell can save you
decay
blooms from every surface
we have always been here
i was baptized in the blood
of those who came before me
o, those who follow after me
they are baptized in my blood
repent for your sins
you will not be forgiven
apostasy in droves
a lack of all contrition
the tongues in which you speak
deceive with great aplomb
and lucifer himself
will sing his holy psalm
all of my lovers will lay me
upon the last coals of our hearth
and i will fuel the fire
that levels your kingdom
the tongues in which you speak
deceive with great aplomb
and lucifer himself
will sing his holy psalm
all of my lovers will lay me
upon the last coals of our hearth
and i will fuel the fire
that levels your kingdom
the ritual vestments you don
soaked in the blood of imagined foes
shall burn in holy flame
that rains upon your flock
you spit unknowingly
in the face of your own god
you desecrate the halls
of every church you built
the ritual vestments you don
soaked in the blood of imagined foes
shall burn in holy flame
that rains upon your flock
the pews turn to ash
beneath the hands
of every parishioner
who you've deceived
and they are swallowed up
by the mouth of hell
but my hell
my hell is here

Let the Galaxy Burn

Unsettling in a similar vein as some of COIL’s most uncomfortable works, but obviously in a good way. S H R I E K I N G makes some of my favorite music.
