Doubled over in pain Unable to move Mary screams for Joseph To be quick to soothe Clutching her stomach Her voice echoes as she begs Emotions dripping Like the foetus down her legs Punished by Jehovah For sweaty rutting in the dark Mary wails As the cult disappears with her spark Joseph arrives too late To save the lives he owns Watches as his future Bleeds out upon the stones A world without Jesus Was destined to see A people with rituals Where nature is beauty The violence and robbery Committed his name Led us to question And burn the church That’s to blame! Bleed Mary Bleed Set me free Nature is beauty Naked is free Burn Jesus burn Set nature free See us skyclad Before you Smashing spiritual captivity

Abandoned at birth Conditioned to gender Mincing round school Take shit like no other Crushed by the system Hassle for nothing See things they want to Life not for living Strangled and beaten Tossed to the ground Dancing and smiling Thoughts twist around Simmering rage for exposure so dire Nobody hears you. You scream thru the fire The abuse in society the hush of the quiet Somebody listen. It's time to riot! Opportunity flows like the batons do rain Nobody sees you. Your cries are in vain. The abuse in the daylight. The hush of the quiet Somebody notice. It's time to riot! Protecting the innocent Locked up by those sicker Starve you with hunger Smiles faces flicker Your head is illusions You can't know the moon Philosophy is nonsense Passed off as a loon Ignored and belittled Though your heart is talking Blood runs past your feet It's you they're stalking Simmering rage for exposure so dire Nobody hears you. You scream thru the fire The abuse in society the hush of the quiet Somebody listen. It's time to riot! Opportunity flows like the batons do rain Nobody sees you. Your cries are in vain. The abuse in the darkness. The hush of the quiet Somebody notice. Its time to riot!

My whole life is fucked I'm just having a good time I can’t get a grip I'm alright, I feel fine My body is crumbling My blood is diseased I only choose lovers Who use me and tease On the run from my homeland The state chasing me On the run from paranoia Binding me free Every time I am hopeful But the truth it is nigh The illusion that life is The illusions, the lies! In the pit of my stomach The blood it does spill For the theft of the truth All for a cheap thrill Intellectual inadequacies Flow like the Thames Innocent cleanliness Filth at the end I can’t breathe anymore Toxins rise in my heart I deserve this of course It was wrong from the start For this realm I am in Loveless half truths and crimes Drives me towards The right time to die!!!!

From out of the cold we step into the warmth For fire is the sun and the sun is fire Beauty tended with the utmost care I know you are there. Surya, your brightness shines like no other Eyes weep at the thought of you, I recoil at your splendour There is nothing else to do, for in the end we all must bow to you You could take us in a second Char our flesh and burn You could kill us with your power We all need to learn The darkness is behind us pushing ever on The wheel it turns around us It sure won’t be too long Until I feel you on my skin and bask in your oozing song Such difference feeds you You see only one And we each see burning you Our God, our Goddess Our joy, our element Our Sun! For I welcome the darkness Of Mother, of Crone A timely reminder We all live alone We tread in the light But the dark is our destiny I only worship the sun With raven perched next to me A passing moment in this Our evolving old story Folks roamed the earth To say goodbye to glory The light it is behind us Showing where we’ve been The dark it is before us Where nothing can be seen I am sat with you now They all love the sun We turned our back on summer Turn back to where we’ve come For you are the darkest moments in life Pain. Anguish. Torture. And I love you the most As I drown off the coast Whilst worshipping you Lights’ own daughter.

Don’t you touch me sir I mean who the fuck are you To even attempt to Tell me what to do Your existence in this time Is sick, control and cruel So get your fucking hands off me You stole my life force – you! It’s you who kills the children You who rapes the aura Of everything that lives Created spiritual diaspora Get the fuck away from me You lowlife piece of scum You not only took my life You take a piece of everyone Get the fuck away from me You lowlife piece of scum Get the fuck away from me You lowlife piece of scum Get the fuck away from me You lowlife piece of scum You not only take my life You take everyone! ** How the truth never came Except for I knew You believed I deserved it And that you did too For history has your head And history has mine You used me I love you We smashed the divine. ** The Horned God He is new-born fawn that's dying He is hawk come swooping down He is sound of wildwood calling He is smelling green and brown Out the woods he comes a-striding From the hills and mountains high See his antlers bright and bloody Feel his consort hunting by In spring he is budding He brings life a-flooding With sun life is growing All hail the Horned God! With leaves he is falling With fruit he is sharing With ice, life destroying All hail the Horned God! Hail the Horned God! All hail the Horned God! All hail, all hail, all hail! Hail the Horned God! All hail the Horned God! All hail, all hail, all hail!!!
