THE DEVIL'S BLOOD LYRICS

1. Come, Reap

In the south we call you.
In the west we call you.
In the east we call you.
In the north we call you.

Serrated image.
Of deep driving nails.
Enthroned by rat.
Willow and snail.

Oh Lord of Sedition
Oh Host of Derision
Oh Prick of Opposition
Oh Cunt of Transition

2. River Of Gold

Desert man, running wolf.
Lonely star and old mother.
Dusty trail and desperate hearts.
Roving wanderer magick lover.

Travel with me in the eyes of night.
Drown with me in the splendour of its might.
We'll drown this world together you and I alone.
As above so below, both as water and as stone.

...Oh as stone.

Poison woman, hiding snake.
Lonely star and Horned father.
Hidden path and burning hearts.
Blood drinking devil tempter.

Raging lust takes us to the end of the night.
Our love forever a testament to its might.
Repeat your lesson, do as you're told.
Sink your naked body in this River of Gold.

3. The Heavens Cry Out For The Devil's Blood

Tonight the pact is sealed
And all mysteries are revealed
If you know your master's voice
Will you know your master's voice?

Nightshade and Devil Root
Wolfsbane and Eye of Newt
Round and round and round and round we go

If the moon is high and deathly
If the hare hunts with the dogs
When the trees turn out to strangle
We shall write your name with blood

His eyes are gleaming
His eyes are gleaming
But his eyes are gleaming

Nightshade and Devil Root
Wolfsbane and Eye of Newt
Round and round and round and round we go

When the sun turns black at noonday
And terror flies at night
When the winds cut like razors
We shall write your name with blood

Nightshade and Devil Root
Wolfsbane and Eye of Newt
Round and round and round and round we go

4. White Faces

[originally by Rocky Erickson]

Friends with the beast because of sharp teeth
the devil so red the fiery evil bleib

White faces, white faces always haunt me so beautifully
learning temples meditating churches
always bring out the white of the devil in me

The fat, the fat of demonism as ends begin
fangs gnashing at the beauty as in reaches in

White faces, white faces always haunt me so beautifully
learning temples meditating churches
always bring out the white of the devil in me

White faces, white faces always haunt me so beautifully
learning temples meditating churches
always bring out the white of the devil in me

Colorful crucifixion riding the serpent dragon
fire breathing fire breathing with his serpent tongue a'waggin'

White faces, white faces always haunt me so beautifully
learning temples meditating churches
always bring out the white of the devil in me

5. Voodoo Dust

Saturday is a mile away
I still feel his burning flames
As I walk through death again

Saturday burns my skin with white
He marks it "6" with a silver knife
As I feel his breath again

I know he loves me
I know he must
My life for you
Voodoo Dust

Drowning only feet from the shore
Sleeping an endless sleep
But violently awake, we wait

We walk the thousand yards he lays for us
We do his work, his will is thus
Violently awake, we wait

We know he loves us
We know he must
We die for you
Voodoo Dust
