lyrics

Thou shall not covet what thou don't understand
Evil will grow unto the hearts of all man

skulking through the woods where the crones do sleep
and the dark whispers them sorrows in their dreams
we will labour over toxins stripping meat from the bone
with baby blood as our broth the pleasures to be shown
and we fall down a well across the black river
mending pacts with the devil causing souls to quiver
in the dark of night we will hunt for your kids
return me to the earth lined with moss and twigs

I am incarnate of the selfish and meek
weaving web to all those with the minds of the weak
and we will bath in the blood of the infants and swoon
in return all I ask is the earth from your womb

skulking through the woods where the crones do sleep
and the dark whispers them sorrows in their dreams
we will labour over toxins stripping meat from the bone
with baby blood as our broth the pleasures to be shown
and we fall down a well across the black river
mending pacts with the devil causing souls to quiver
in the dark of night we will hunt for your kids
return me to the earth lined with moss and twigs

Hunting, Brooding, Looming, Brewing
Cooking, Smothering, Slithering, Malevolent.

You shall not covet what you don't understand
Evil has grown in the hearts of man.
