Molly Leigh 08:31
Molly Leigh, Molly Leigh Chase me ‘round the apple tree Molly Leigh, Molly Leigh Chase me ‘round and chase me down The web is spun, the lies let loose Loose lips regale the town Of devil worship, sorcery And summoning the damned Old woman by the fireside Your fate approaches fast Forever doomed to misery For being the outcast Context confused, insanity Now beckons to the thrall A vile hand grips society Defiant of the Lord The knuckle-dragging simpletons Are knocking at your door Here to enforce normality Under penalty of law

Ligula 05:17
I write up my memories every once in a while I wrote myself into a hole Trained to get the perfect body and mind Shame I forgot about my soul I got a store selling my money for fame An old man asked me "What have you got?" I took a bullet and I carved in my name Aimed for the sky and now I've shot God I can see all of the answers passing me by But I never seem to understand the questions I know, I know, what I have been told is for the best But it never seems to gether any interest Why can't the start and the end meet in the middle and bend In ouroboros 'round and around? When I was youthful it was so simple to pretend This body standing would never sink into the ground Concrete tower blocks ringed by cold metal fence Just hollow buildings back to back So busy starting I never thought of an end All I could do was fade away to black

Blood red and white, know it’s right You’re gonna fly, fly so high You’re gonna die And then be reborn as Santa Claus Amanita, sedation Amanita, elation Amanita, try me out, dry me out, Touch the sky Liberty bell, psilocin Yellow and brown, great big grin Meadow of sin, Rolling in grass in hysteria Psilocybe, sedation Psilocybe, elation Psilocybe, magical mystery tour inside Chichemeca medicine Men held the key to the brain Mexica priests, Mazatec, All knew the sacred way Nanacatl, sedation Nanacatl, elation Nanacatl, enter the realm of the holy ones Floating serene, flying free, Maximum velocity Turbulence hits, stay calm You're just coming off your trip Psilocybe, dilation Psilocybe, nausea Psilocybe, light headed, out of breath, staggering

Nightmare 06:10
I am the spectre of your sleep The silent space between your dreams I am that never breathed belief The suckling shadow of your grief Believe in me Heard in the rustling of the tress The way your skin begins to bleed At first as whispers on the breeze Now I will bring you to your knees Pray to me

Dread Waltz 04:29
There’s always something alive in my head The essential essence of fear A constant reminder that soon I’ll be dead That one day soon I’ll disappear When will it come for me, how should I know? When will it take me away? How can I live in perpetual dread? Now the colours have faded to grey? Now I spend every day dancing this waltz In step with myself in dismay Knowing that one day I’ll stumble and fail My frailty keeps me afraid

Glaciation 07:29
White mountains, cold hidden sun Butchered grey firmament White winds sweep snow shadows long Bleached bone and banishment Aphelion stretches long Fallen obliquity Life labours under the curse Man and beast brace for cold Behemoth bellows in fright Framed by the fire bright Hunters haunt the endless night Brutality of life Smell of blood clotting the air Hours from the light of day Eye shine of feline nightmare Predator becomes prey
