Scorched Earth Erotica (original Demo(n) Version) Lyrics

Scorched Earth Erotica (original Demo(n) Version) lyrics

Sunset, expect

This to be your last with our vast return

As death is set

At three sixes where hill-beacons burn



Darkness, undress

Your descending skirts yield a thirsting altar

Blood-red, yet still unfed

Lips distend ending, time to falter



Darkness, welcome arms wide and crucified, the slaughter

Darkness, lightening freezes seven

Darkness, outtakes from the rape of the world



Darkness, sins expelled from Heaven

Now befoul from the bowels of Hell

Where the tragic in theory and practice fell



Last prayers, hang in the air

Each unto their own rag and bone-meal saviors

Strung where crippled vultures dare

Golgotha, coughs another cross to grave God's failure



Darkness, once the forests spired

Darkness, nurtured in nature heart

Darkness, now dreat cedars feed the pyres

Need-fires lit for greater harm

Darkness



As her children toy with razors

Darkness, sightless and deeply scarred

Darkness, and the moon arose to phase her

Cracks a grin so wide it hides the stars

And lights our path, back through the shattered glass



We come like drumming thunder

Tides enwreathed in scum and plunder

Kraken-teethed to tear asunder

All those too blind to see



Where the tragic in theory and practice meet

Deranged, uncaged

We rage like a plague through this age of greed

Sowers of discord, growing wars to reap

A terrible crop to beat a vicious retreat



Scorched earth, rebirth

Disintered in the writhe of the lone survivor

Whose worth is worse than the curse

Of Sardonicus, choking on his own saliva



Who shares the last laugh now

Dead wedded fates fulfill their vows?

Foot in mouth of sacred cows

(Foot in mouth of sacred cows)

Face down in dust and poisoned ground
