The Crone

These eyes don't work like they used to
Come closer so I can see you
Come closer, into the light
Come closer, that's right
Sit by me, hold my gnarled hand
Speak louder so I can understand
There's nothing left where I am
It's a desert without any sand
These eyes don't work like they used to
Come closer so I can see you
Come closer, into the light
Come closer, that's right

Jewels

It isn't beautiful, it isn't true
The jewels of this earth are neither beautiful nor true
If the jewels of this earth are neither beautiful nor true
Might they not have some other value?
The jewels of this earth will never satisfy my greed
Will never, will never, will never never
If the jewels of this earth will never satisfy my greed
There is something else I need
It isn't broken, it just never was and never will be whole
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't beautiful
The nothingness just killed my soul
As I looked into those meaningless eyes
I looked into those meaningless eyes
It's okay I guess, everything dies
Unless it was never alive
I was disappointed but not surprised

The Great Floracaust

Sister, sister, wont you tell me
Wont you tell me, why are you angry?
It's that daisy, I don't like it
I don't like the way it's always looking at me
The way she's talking about me
Pull them up, pull them out of the ground
Pull them up, pull them out of the ground for miles around
Pull them up, pull them out of the ground
Pull them up, pull them out of the ground for miles around
Out of the ground for miles around
Sister sister, what are you crazy?
What are you doing out there torturing that apple tree?
It deserves destroying, I don't like it, I don't like it
I don't like the way it's always mercilessly toying with me
I don't care if we burn them all down
I don't care if we burn them all down for miles around
I don't care if we burn them all down
I don't care if we burn them all down for miles around
Burn them all down for miles around
I know it's shiny, I know it's bright
But don't touch that lightning bolt
Leave right where it is in the sky
Don't you drive it straight into your eyes
No don't you drive it straight into your eyes
I know that you want to
And I'm here to protect you
From all those terrible things that you need me to tell you don't do
I mean don't run, I mean run
I mean don't run, run run
Into the forest on fire
Into the forest on fire
Into the forest on fire

The Grey Wine

Water, will you wash away my sins
Water, will you make it clean again
What is this world coming to
Around here the water drinks you
Around here the water drinks you
Water, will you help these crops to grow
Reabsorb into the ground below
What is this world come and gone
The dirty rain falls on and on
And on and on and on and on
Water, will you satisfy my thirst
Won't you reconsider please, it hurts
What is this world coming to
Around here the water drinks you
Around here the water drinks you

Old Barn
02:23
|

The old barn that fell down stood back up
The old barn that fell down stood back up
And everyone's afraid that it will fall back down
Don't go near the old barn
Don't go near the old barn
The old shed that burned down, today it was there again
A little worse for wear, but somehow risen from the ashes
And everyone's afraid that it'll catch back on fire
Don't go near the old shed
Don't go near the old shed
The old sheep that we tried to slaughter wouldn't die
We're butchering and butchering, she keeps on seeming fine
Nobody who's eaten it has got sick from the meat
I guess it's alright if you touch the sheep
Go on, I guess it's all right if you have to touch the sheep
If you think you have to go near the sheep
If you have to, if you really think you have to
Go right ahead I guess. It's fine.
Everything's fine, everybody

Dead Horse

It's so itchy
And it's so hot
It's so itchy
It's so hot
It's so itchy itchy
It's so itchy
It's so hot
It's so hot
It's your fault
It's your fault
It's so hot
It's so itchy itchy
I know
I know you're angry
I know
I know you're angry
But you can't
You can't keep beating that dead horse
You can't keep beating that dead horse
I know
I know you're angry
Brother against brother

Can you cut it off with a knife?
Can you cut it off with a knife?
Can you cut it off with a knife?
Can you cut it off with a knife?
Can you burn it off in the fire?
Can you burn it off in the fire?
Can you burn it off in the fire?
Can you burn it off in the fire?
I asked the man with the knife
I asked the man with the knife
He said no matter how small I will not use my knife to take a life
I asked the man with the burning hand
I think he misunderstood
He said I am bound to only use my sacred fire here for good
Maybe scratch it off with your fingers
Maybe scratch it off with your fingers
Why don't you just try and ignore it
Could that make it go away
But could you ignore it that way, ignore it that way,
For all day for everyday
Why don't you just try and ignore it
Could that make it go away
Could you ignore it that way, ignore it that way for
It's everywhere
It's everywhere
It's everywhere
It's everywhere
It's every, it's every
It's everywhere
It's everywhere
It's everywhere
It's every, it's every
Why don't you just try and enjoy it
Seeing as you could not destroy it?
Why don't you just try and enjoy it
Seeing as you could not destroy it?
Why don't you just try and enjoy it
Seeing as you could not destroy it?
Why don't you just try and enjoy it?
It's everywhere

Agony of the Wart God

What kind of worthless god are you
When the things you will will not come true?
What kind of power can you command
When the world is mangled in your hands?
What kind of savior can you be
If you chosen people aren't free?
What kind of God
A pathetic joke
But still your creation's only hope
Only hope
Only hope
Only hope
Only hope
Only hope
Only hope
Only hope
Only hope
