Let me see someone come up with a better description than Edgar Broughton meets early Rush . This excellent , unique, and Radical. Favorite track: Ol' Cat Howl.

Lute FP Wow. This is interesting. It’s 1969 all over again, like Randy Holden got a bit proggy and dipped a toe in the occult waters.

Where the hell is Paul?

LAMENT OF THE OLD GOD Here in the skies above With eternal love I am watching you As you scheme below Under heaven's glow As you build your Satan Cheer and squeal 'neath your devil's wheel But it will double deal It will take you down You courtly clowns Round and round It will take you down to your knees By extreme and certain degrees But it is not your destiny NO! In the end with it's crown upon your head And all your gathered dead You will come to me Here in the sky you'll be saved Here by my side you'll be saved Why is it so That you don't know that you seek me How could it be that with your self-deceiving ways you have achieved this thing? This automaton, This automat This automatic life? Beyond a someone Beyond a something But beyond my planning? NO! 'Cause in the end With it's crown upon your head And with all your gathered dead You will come to me To this sky above And my eternal love Beyond this new thing Here in the sky you'll be saved Here by my side you'll be saved And so, the old god laments For we have forsaken him in our thoughts We hold now that his time has passed away For we're immortal and we'll never have to die.

The Boatman 03:02
THE BOATMAN You say it's a good day So how does it feel to have another one done? Still with the program Selling those tickets for the Boatman all day? Day after day... Hey, could it be that dog is turning yellow? Up on his flat rack telling the people that he's gonna take their souls To the top of fate He preys on the lonely This servant's a phony All his dead are dead You follow the Boatman Yet gone are the remnants of another day's services You follow the Boatman 'Cause he promised you a ride Over there, somewhere, to heaven Oh, so much bullshit He preys on the lonely Your servant's a phony Oh, but you paid your fare Now there's another place to place your soul And you know it 'cause it's haunting It's there in your head if you listen In your eyes now In your heart now Promising all and asking for none This is the one This is the One This is the One and the One and THE ONE Oh this is the many And the many is only All to be as one One as THE ONE We are gathered here today To mark the death of the last of the holy sons We are here to remark upon the death of deity Of soothsayer and profit alike Of ghost and spirit Specter and sprite

Mission Bell 05:12
MISSION BELL Here beneath the mission bell I've had the time to wonder All so simple in my youth God was love and I the vessel Now I've come to see the lies The holy words are ringing hollow Perverted by the lusts of men Seeking power over those that follow Those that follow men Not for truth Not for lies But for dust Now as I listen to the wise They say they have created a new destiny Which doesn't ask of them to prey But instead to say I love you For you are me As we are we So let us be Let us be together We are we Let us be together ***Qui autem me audierit absque terrore requiescet et abundantia perfruetur malorum timore sublato. Audiens sapiens sapientior erit et intellegens gubernacula possidebit. Nihil sub sole novum nec valet quisquam dicere ecce hoc recens est iam enim praecessit in saeculis quae fuerunt ante nos. ***Who hears me shall rest without terror and shall enjoy abundance without fear of evils. Wise men shall hear and shall be wiser and hear that understandeth shall posses governments. Nothing under the sun is new neither is any man able to say behold this is not new for it hath already gone before in the ages that were before us.

Monster 03:06
MONSTER Sunlight sparkling in her hair I tear her dress away Terror flashing in her eyes I dare not look away She screams She faints I penetrate I take her fresh virginity I am machine And I come so clean Cleaving flesh like a razor blade And the sky is full of daffodils I'm floating away Surrender Justice is coming now Where I am the feature, ya Justice is coming now Where I am the creature, ya Little body So strong and tight Poetry in a devil's milieu Pale dove 'neath my dark demeanour Blood red is the final cue, ya Justice is coming now Where I am the creature, ya Justice is coming now

Ol' Cat Howl 03:39
OL' CAT HOWL Been around for years Way past my prime When nothing hurts and nothing pleases It's all about the time Another day without a reason So little time to go Living life as a setting sun Fires burning low Oh, don't ya know Don't wanna heed the sleep that calls I really wanna know what this thing This thing is Thinking about the past Thinking about the days Thinking about the flies a'buzzin' round my fuckin' grave Soon be standing 'fore the teacher Soon be standing low Feel the fingers of the reaper So deadly, deadly cold Oh, don't ya know Don't wanna heed the sleep that calls I really wanna know what this thing This thing is I see it there with it's promise of something Something alien Yet something forgiving Should I take this chance Should I take this great unknown Or should I take what's promised me And let my spirit go I'm just a simple man No wish to spite the gods But this life It's all I have It's all I have

Psychopath 02:25
PSYCHOPATH Well, you're not like me And I don''t like you I don't give a shit about the things you do All that chitter chatter Monkeys in a tree Swine to the slaughter Soon you'll see You are the dirt 'neath my feet, ya I'm saying I'm the better I am to the wise The gravity of your humanity's a thin surmise I wanna see you grovel I wanna see you prone I wanna see you humble and quiet before the throne Corrode like fire and rust Where time stands still and... ...Forever opens wide Where there's nowhere to hide And so there Deep inside We will be the wolfsheep crawling Oh ya, there we shall be The property of me Where me is we The property So good Oh so good

The Pledged 04:41
THE PLEDGED Take your love I despise it It's a sickness Your need to be needed Reject me now But I shall not want I will not despair for I have found the fire I know you want me on my knees so you can bear me like some burden on the back of what you see for you as a sacrifice to your lot in life Our pairing is nothing as compared to the truth of the One! Our love was an emptiness I can see that now We stood before your god and promised to be true A god you've made meaningless as you deny that vow You would deny your oath Your pledge to eternity You abandon your very god In leaving me you repudiate your soul Take your god and despise it I'll take this new god This new reality Where exists absolution without sin A paradise without pride Your capricious nature leaves you bereft of all semblance of order in the whimsy of your life as you betray and confuse all those who would believe you're a victim of life Soon you will follow, follow me Soon you will follow, follow me Follow me, follow me, follow me Bitch

THE LOVELY ONES They're on a journey Walking through this by themselves We are the lovely ones That they do not see As they rush through their fated lives Betting all on eternity Come on baby Close your eyes and be with me They're on a journey Like a map upon the wall We are the lovely ones that they cannot see Blind to the death of souls They live their humanity Come on baby Close your eyes and be with me We'll dance together closely as we drain the sands of time Trading weaknesses of pleasure For the vortices of mind Thinking solely of this union and the universe sublime Come with me into the garden Come with me and you will find That the sound of angels singing Is the the sound of angels burning With the all consuming ecstasy of life We are the lovely ones and only we can see As we drift through unfettered lives With no fear of eternity Come on baby Close your eyes and be with me

LIONS AND LAMBS Being a sheep is boredom Being a wolf is loneliness Though we may be the just We too are the killers This truth will out As all truth does out Only as essence can man transcend the monkey We have no future Yet we don't want to die Fussy little rodents A waste of truth and time The foolishness of followers is the carpet upon which all kings stride When you lay down with lions, baby You best be aware of the sheep When you lay with the powers, honey Truth will disturb your sleep
