[00:20.519]As I skip amongst the thickets
[00:21.460]Well, just look at what I’ve found
[00:22.818]An innocent wee critter
[00:24.124]Sitting, shivering on the ground
[00:25.482]Entrapped and gagged and bound
[00:26.788]Upon a sacrificial mound
[00:28.016]Such a miserable predicament
[00:29.453]So, how’d you like the sound
[00:30.655]Of a haven-cum-community
[00:32.065]A vibrant congregation
[00:33.371]Of waywards just like you
[00:34.599]The fates aligned for me to save from
[00:35.984]The depraved and heathen demons
[00:37.342]And their vile abominations
[00:38.517]Enslaving feeble minds
[00:39.745]Into a life of prostration
[00:41.104]Not like my operation
[00:42.357]Not the slightest correlation
[00:43.637]Why, we’ve dances, feasts and festivals
[00:44.891]It’s like we’re on vacation
[00:46.354]No time for contemplation
[00:47.556]Would you like to come and take some
[00:48.862]Salvation in exchange
[00:50.194]For just some light indoctrination?
[00:51.944]
[00:52.728]"THE PACT IS SELAED..."
[00:59.781]
[01:02.106]Welcome in, brethren!
[01:03.412]Step down off the pentagram
[01:04.849]Blessed be and bend the knee
[01:06.051]And pledge to me forever and
[01:07.357]Forget the need to question and
[01:08.558]We’ll never need to reprimand
[01:09.838]Lethargy is heresy
[01:11.092]You’re very keen to lend a hand
[01:12.633]There’s effigies to render
[01:13.809]And a temple yet to build
[01:15.063]We’ve many seeds to tend to
[01:16.238]And there’s earth still left to till
[01:17.649]And every second spare
[01:18.877]You’d best remember to keep filled
[01:20.078]In reverent prayer and penance
[01:21.437]Lest dissenters will be kill-
[01:22.926]-ecting up the mess
[01:24.049]Until they find their crimes regrettable
[01:25.590]All evidence says heaven’s light’s
[01:26.818]Not likely for the skeptical
[01:28.072]The bedding’s of the finest moss
[01:29.430]The lichen often edible
[01:30.632]Now, don’t you think your life outside
[01:31.886]Was tiresome and forgettable?
[01:33.714]
[01:34.028]Deep in the dark of the woods
[01:35.412]Where secrets sleep
[01:36.797]We serve he who waits beneath
[01:39.357]Till the soul, devotion reap
[01:41.891]For the lamb who herds the sheep
[01:44.555]In the dark of the woods
[01:45.731]We pledge our lives
[01:47.298]Sages say that faith is blind
[01:49.518]Arms raised high in sacrifice
[01:52.601]Pull down wool over our eyes
[01:54.743]
[01:54.926]Time for your donations
[01:55.500]Fill the dish up, pass the gold plate
[01:56.989]Every penny pays to kill
[01:58.113]The Bishops of the Old Faith
[01:59.497]Our benefactor waits
[02:00.464]Betwixt the crippling links of old chains
[02:02.083]Tethered to the plains
[02:03.154]Until the heretics are all slain
[02:04.643]So, pay the tithes and pray you might
[02:06.002]Remain upon the list of all
[02:07.308]The cherished, chosen children
[02:08.614]For whom love is unconditional
[02:09.946]Your contribution’s absolution
[02:11.200]For the guilt within you all
[02:12.584]Our movement may be new
[02:13.734]But all your sins are still original
[02:15.144]You’ll find my sermons stirring
[02:16.424]Form the circle, get your heads down
[02:17.783]Heavy hangs the neck
[02:18.984]Of any vessel of the Red Crown
[02:20.317]Blessed to be the shepherd
[02:21.492]Of the desperate and oppressed now
[02:22.903]Destined for ascension
[02:24.131]Ne’er the wealthy ever left ground
[02:25.541]So, empty out your bank accounts
[02:26.926]And dance around the fire
[02:27.997]And focus your devotion
[02:29.251]Through the crackling of the pyre
[02:30.531]So potent and ambrosial
[02:31.889]It flows through blackened spires
[02:33.195]To satiate our patron
[02:34.501]And their rancorous desires
[02:35.964]"The game is barely set
[02:37.531]Yet e’er within the deck you’ve dwelt
[02:38.785]We’ve never met and yet
[02:39.752]We meet again upon my pelts
[02:41.136]The cards we want are often drawn
[02:42.599]But seldom ever dealt
[02:43.957]But, chance the hand you’re given
[02:44.950]Mayhap lift you where you fell
[02:46.491]Tell me, little lamb
[02:47.432]Do you see destiny immutable?
[02:49.077]Does fate or dedication
[02:50.175]Keep you bended knee and dutiful?
[02:51.690]Feign predestination?
[02:52.865]Or is zealotry the truth of all
[02:54.197]The paths you never take and never leave
[02:55.582]Yet in the future walk?
[02:57.045]Saviour or enslaver?
[02:58.064]Oh, these labels are but shallow things
[02:59.526]You brave the twisting mists
[03:00.545]Betwixt the hallowed and the harrowing
[03:02.086]And pray that they may shift
[03:03.262]Amidst the rhapsody of Haro’s wings
[03:04.673]So, just embrace the chaos
[03:05.926]And the clarity the tarot brings"
[03:07.233]
[03:07.624]Deep in the dark of the woods
[03:09.113]Where secrets sleep
[03:10.655]We serve he who waits beneath
[03:13.345]Till the soul, devotion reap
[03:15.853]For the lamb who herds the sheep
[03:18.439]In the dark of the woods
[03:19.406]We pledge our lives
[03:21.182]Sages say that faith is blind
[03:23.716]Arms raised high in sacrifice
[03:26.328]Pull down wool over our eyes
[03:28.366]
[03:28.601]The time has come, enlightened ones
[03:29.802]The hour is at hand
[03:30.638]Or do you doubt the crown?
[03:31.866]The righteous power it commands?
[03:33.277]We swear to scriptures devilish
[03:34.713]Devout or ever-damned
[03:35.889]Till fetid grip of heretics
[03:37.247]Is scoured from the land
[03:38.527]Who today can truly say
[03:39.912]Their faith has never faltered?
[03:41.166]Whose neck, so trained to pray
[03:42.341]Would never strain against the halter?
[03:43.804]These reins that pave the way
[03:44.953]Towards our patron’s radiant reign
[03:46.416]And so, which waif ordained by grace
[03:47.513]Shall fate see slain upon the altar?
[03:49.159]For what have we to give
[03:50.152]Once coin and toil have been expended?
[03:51.615]For naught have we to live
[03:52.738]If plots of soil to be lamented
[03:54.070]Are the unascended end
[03:55.324]To whence our mortal coil has wended
[03:56.917]The rested dead are spoiled
[03:57.962]Not with the spoils we are intended
[03:59.425]But flesh, bequeathed freely
[04:00.888]Grants a life a higher purpose
[04:01.985]In death, a deeper meaning
[04:03.161]Everlasting pious service
[04:04.624]Sowing seeds precedes a reaping
[04:05.825]Start a line, now who’s the first?
[04:07.184]You all decided to convert
[04:08.307]So tell me, why’re you so nervous?
[04:10.135]For your fervour has been fated now
[04:11.154]To satiate the beast
[04:12.434]In chains he waits beneath
[04:13.636]And how he craves to be released
[04:14.968]We celebrate in blessed flame
[04:16.353]So, pray and take a seat
[04:17.528]And pledge unto their name
[04:18.782]Lest you be plated at the feast
[04:20.271]Let your faith remain unshaken
[04:21.499]In our monastery’s beliefs
[04:22.779]You’ve no claim to consecration
[04:24.189]When there’s coffers to be greased
[04:25.443]Stay praiseful to your deity
[04:26.802]Their prophecy and priest
[04:28.003]For the sheep may be the shepherd
[04:29.414]But the flock is being fleeced
[04:30.772]
[04:31.190]Deep in the dark of the woods
[04:32.548]Where secrets sleep
[04:34.299]We serve he who waits beneath
[04:36.597]Give the flesh, ascension seek
[04:39.419]From the lamb who herds the sheep
[04:41.874]In the dark of the woods
[04:42.971]We pledge our lives
[04:44.722]Sages say that faith is blind
[04:47.073]Arms raised high in sacrifice
[04:49.894]Pull down WOOL over our EYES
[04:53.055](Amen)
