"Wake up, honey!"
I hear the demon's roar
eclipsing the door that separates him from us
"well go back to sleep, it'll pass, it'll pass"
for evil is just a name, nothing more
I don't feel sorry for the bastard
CHORUS
The devil comes in many shapes and forms
and that boy is not my son
he's a demon and he'll be kept in that
basement for all of eternity for all I care
God's wrath will take care of the rest
we saw the face of terrible things
underneath our eyelids
it was another one of the demon's tricks
"he'll spill our blood and drink it by the gallon, by God he will"
he'll snap our bones and suck every morsel of meat
from our bodies just for the taste of something pure
God gave us the child in the form of a test
we as a family are being tested
our faith is being questioned
and that thing in the basement is the answer
to whether we are divine and true
we bear the cross as a symbol of gratitude
Oh heavenly Father, oh holy Ghost
you've given us a challenge
we don't intend to lose
they'll have to update the scriptures with our tale
of bravery after all is said and done
a separate verse, just for us
Just for us....
This was technically the first recording I ever did before starting my own project. A good friend of mine and I just went for it, didn't care if the sound quality was awful, and had fun. June Lake
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
