lyrics

Wolves gather / round a throne / on a dais / made of stone
Baphomet presides
A profane / ritual / on the altar / on the grill
The cauldron gazes into you
As above / so below / so the shadow / is a show
Under steaming velvet veil
In the grave / in the cradle / with a wave / of a ladle
The ceremony begins

Autoharuspicy, see your own guts in the meal
The offal truth revealed
By the laws / of disorder / in a country / with no border
Flesh and fat as brick and mortar
For the bravest / of the fools / by the folly / of the rules
In hand the proper tools
For the glutton / for the waif / will you fit / in your grave
And now the master is the slave

Eat of my flesh, drink my blood
Turning the spit, dripping oil
Gold and blood, spirits to slake, glutton's lust

Sing along, for a last song, for the main course
As if nothing's wrong
When all's done and the song's sung
Seat of honor now a platter

Come, towards the light
Where there's light there's heat
Cooking meat

At the eve / at the dawn / with a yell / with a yawn
Finally the curtain drawn
Like the pigs / of Manannan / or the swine / Sachrimnir
Willing victim sacrifice
To the teeth / to the jowls / link the mind / and the bowels
Now the cheers have turned to howls
Only man / only beast / only famine / at the feast
Only hunger never rests in peace

Twitch streamer got me on you guys (|reignman|). Ultimately today i ended up buying the other two records you've put out. Listening to Terra Nullius now, so fucking good. This album was such a great introduction to you guys and love your work. lolohim

Such a solid and unique offering thats been on repeat since purchased. Dark and pummeling with moments of light. Not a bad track on this album. You can be heavy AND catchy which this proves in spades. I love this band!! Thanks for the tip off by old Jackson from Into the Necrosphere podcast!! The Eye Is You
