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

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
