"First of Seven"
Words: Charles Lupula/Music: Charles Lupula, Kleibold Harris



The sight, the smell, the taste, the touch
When too much can never be enough
Alive inside, a beast so rough
The virtues wither as the skin to dust
Crave so strong, possessed to burn
Siren's call, the blood will yearn
A call to arms in every curve
Paradise awake in every nerve
The light grows dim, the back is scratched
The first can only pray to last
Of gods and men, so much the task
A trail of tears, a question asked
Down on fours, the two are one
A riddle of flesh what will become
Forever to start and then never done
The voice of gods a howl becomes

The drive, the will, the scent compels
Words unspoken to the truth it tells
To know to feel to bite to want
As if the senses can only taunt
Whispered cries, so wet the fire
Of that which proves a Saint a liar
All attrition soon betrayed
For a moment back from where you came
The rush of blood no bounds are known
In a cloud of musk, the seeds are sewn
A maze of flesh, a puzzle of skin
A taste of the battle angels cannot win

The devil on the shoulder
The devil between the thighs
The angels that weeps
Knowing the virtuous lie
The scripture laid down
To be a bed for the time
When it all is forgotten
And the pulpit declares a crime

When you forget your name
Forget your name
Forget your name
Forget your name
