Fall Spectre Vs Rector Lyrics

Spectre Vs Rector Lyrics

M.R. James, be born, be born
Yog Sogoth. Rape me Lord.*
I've suffered a
great wrong
Such hatred, Church's song
Part One: Spectre v. Rector
The
Rector lived in Hampshire
The Spectre was not focussed on
the evil dust in
the air.
The Rector locked his doors
An Inspector drives through
Hampshire
Has to sleep because of the fog
And thinks of his new
director.
Meanwhile the Spectre possesses Rector
Spectre blows him
against the wall
Says " this is your face.
I've waited all season
for this
You're flaccid, my hate is crisp
I'll wreck your hot body to
pieces."
[chorus]
Enter Inspector
You have Inspector versus
Rector possessed by Spectre
He was spoken, this devil, rose and
shrunken
The Inspector is half insane.
[chorus]
Onto the scene comes a
Hero
Soul possessed a thousand times
Only he could save the Rector
Only
he could save the Inspector
This hero was a strange fellow
"Those
flowers, take them away," he said.
"They're only funeral
decorations.
And O this is a tragic nation
A nation of no
imagination.
A stupid dead man is their ideal
They shook me and they
think me unclean."
I wash all day and still it's unclean
I have
saved a thousand souls
You can only save your own
It's like I drunk
myself sober
I get better as I get older
[chorus]
The hero
The
Spectre enters the Hero
but the possession is ineffectual.
So exit a
spectre.
Inspector and hero walk on the scene
Is the Spectre vanished
forever?
Is Spectre banished forever?
The Spectre has exit the
scene
but the Inspector is half insane.
Serves him right for choosing
such a crap career.
And the hero goes back into the mountains
He was an
exorcist
But he was exhausted.
