don't you go to the forest
don't you wander alone
don't go to the smoke my children
beneath her heels dry brittle bones
her mouth is as red as blood
there's a smile upon her face
she lulls the child to sleep
she takes their hearts
sweet souls to taste
dancing on the ledges
dancing in clouds
Spearfinger rides the smoke
obsidian blade black shining proud
Spearfinger walks ~ with skin of stone
no arrows pierce
just shattered shards
beneath her heels lie brittle bones
her voice upon the mountain vine
birds flee the sky a warning sign
Spearfinger sings her hunting song
you hear the raven ~ won't be long
the obsidian blade OF her RIGHT hand
she had it sharp at her command
the sounding thunder at her heels
no arrows pain she never feels it
swatted away like irksome gnats
all helpless under her attack
her hidden heart her only weakness
aim and fire into the bleakness
don't go to the forest !

Demon's Hook

IT WAS FAR AWAY AND LONG AGO
WAITING FOR A SEED TO GROW
I THOUGHT I SAW MY FUTURE IN HER EYES
ONLY THE STRONG ONES WILL SURVIVE
I'M STRONG ENOUGH TO SING TONIGHT
AND TELL THE TALE OF A LOVE WITH SCARS TO SHOW
FOR THE DEMON'S HOOK
I'D SIGN THE BOOK
TO FEEL HER FLAMES INGULF ME ONCE AGAIN
FOR THE DEMON'S CRIES
I'D STEAL AND LIE
TO SLIP AGAIN BETWEEN HER THIGHS
A TALE OF LOVERS LOST BEGINS
A VEILED DECIEPT A WISH TO MAKE YOU ALL MINE
I WANT TO MAKE YOU ALL MINE
FOR THE DEMON'S HOOK
I'D SIGN THE BOOK
TO FEEL HER MOUTH UPON ME ONCE AGAIN
FOR THE DEMON'S CRIES
I'D STEAL AND LIE
TO BE DEVOURED BY THOSE EYES
A TALE OF LOVE AND LOSS BEGINS
A FRAIL CONCEIT A WISH TO MAKE YOU ALL MINE
I WANT TO MAKE YOU ALL MINE
LONELY DAYS AND LONELY NIGHTS
I WAIT ALONE FOR THAT PARADISE
I WAITED TIL THE FIRES HAD GROWN COLD
LONG AGO IT SEEMED SO RIGHT
I SAW A FUTURE IN THOSE EYES
WAS IT LIES, OR LONELY DREAMS I HOLD

Wolf Among The Sheep

dirty little fingers flick
the grease and goo from all the pies
smacking pursed lips to kiss
the architect of all your lies
the anointed talking head
car salesman for the lamb of god
guide the flock into the pit
may abattoir blades cake with blood
'cause you're a wolf among the sheep
just a wolf among the sheep
all the dirty little tricks
the greasy palms and pay-offs smiles
rising from the muck and mire
curdling and drawing flies
taking cues from old Nero
seems history is never learned
strike a match dance 'round the fire
and fiddle as the country burns
oh, Good Shepherd, God has sent you here to lead us !
oh Good Shepherd teach the wicked all to fear us !
but your shepherd, he has been sent to Shear and Fleece us
'cause he's a wolf among the sheep
just a wolf among the sheep

Witches of Aendor

When the Witches of Aendōr are calling
to the souls of the pit
Python and Oracle these
the netherworld split
see elohim rising
from the fathoms below
the dead they are exorcising
will knowledge bestow
but the words said here
may fall upon deaf ears
and messages from the grave
can leave a mind enslaved
When the Witches of Aendōr are calling
to the souls of the ground
Python and Oracle these
the netherworld sound
with spirit familiar
a summoner's Shade
the spectre awakening
a bargain is made
but the words said here
may fall upon deaf ears
and messages from the grave
can a mind enslave
summoner's Shade ~ obey thee my spells
before you pass through those dark gates of hell
you've come seeking wisdom ~ I answer your call
you summon a prophet ~ I've seen your downfall
but the words said here ...

Shifter

Head full of knives . so sharp and clean
blade against bone . violent machine
I saw you change . I saw within
I've seen the face . beneath the skin
I saw the shifter
I've seen the shifter
Those feral eyes . so brightly gleam
charade in stone . silently screams
a pale disguise . a web you spin
to hide the face . beneath the skin
I saw the shifter
I've seen the shifter
THE LIE ABOVE
THE TRUTH BELOW
PULLING ME DOWN
LIKE UNDERTOW
I'VE LOST MY BARRINGS
I'VE LOST MY SELF
MY SOUL BELONGS
TO SOMEONE ELSE
DARLIN' YOU JUST WILL NOT LOOK IN MY EYES ANYMORE
AND I JUST CAN'T RECOGNIZE YOU
I saw the shifter
I've seen the shifter

TOOK THE LOVE OF A WITCH
AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST
WET UPON THE ALTAR
A RITUAL FEAST
SHE CAST HER CIRCLE ROUND ME
SWEET AND DEADLY NIGHTSHADE
HER MAGIK IS HABITUAL
AND I LONG TO BE THE BLADE
FEEL HER NAILS DIGGING INTO MY SKIN
FEEL WHERE SHE ENDS AND WHERE I BEGIN
GLADLY LOSING THE SPACES BETWEEN
WHEN I WORSHIP WITH SAINT MAGDALENE
IN THE SHADOW OF THE WITCH
TOOK HER MARK FED THE BEAST
BLOOD UPON THE ALTAR
MOUTH RED WITH THE FEAST
SHE WRAPPED HERSELF AROUND ME
IN THE NEST WE HAD MADE
SWEET TORTURER HABITUAL
VESSEL AND THE BLADE
FEEL HER NAILS DIGGING INTO MY SKIN
FEEL WHERE SHE ENDS AND WHERE I BEGIN
GLADLY LOSING THE SPACES BETWEEN
WHEN I WORSHIP WITH SAINT MAGDALENE

YOU GAVE ME LIFE
YOU GAVE ME BREATH
YOU GAVE ME COURAGE MYSELF TO BE
YOU WERE THE ONE. ALL I NEEDED
AND YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME
SPIRT DEVOURED
BY A LIE SO PROFANE
MY SOUL LEFT DEFLOWERED
YOUR LOVE LEAVES A STAIN
YOU TOOK MY LOVE
YOU TOOK MY LUST
YOU TOOK THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED FROM ME
YOU LEFT ME LOST, LOW, DEFEATED
BUT I WON'T BE YOU CASUALTY
YOU SUCK ME SOUR
NEEDLE TWISTS IN MY BRAIN
IN OUR ONCE SACRED BOWER
DO I DARE CALL YOUR NAME
FORTRESS BUILT SO STRONG AND HIGH
WALLS LIKE ARMOR HIDE YOUR CRIES
A SECRET ROOM NOW LIES ENCHAINED
WITHIN IT STILL, MY HEART REMAINS
LEFT FORGOTTEN, OUR LOVE DIES
SPIRT DEVOURED
BY A LIE SO PROFANE
MY SOUL LEFT DEFLOWERED
YOUR LOVE LEAVES A STAIN
YOU SUCK ME SOUR
NEEDLES TWIST IN MY BRAIN
BUT MY LOVE WILL NOT COWER
I STILL DARE CALL YOUR NAME
empty space where you have been . in YOUR absence I begin
haunted by YOUR eyes I've learned that within my mind they burn
and still I ache when I awake
from dreams of you I can't forsake
I would walk into the flames of hell for you
YOU ARE THE POPPY IN MY VEINS
because you're gone I bleed for you
because you're gone I cast a spell
I light the candle. grip the knife
I cast the seed. I offer life
for your return, I'd sell to hell my very soul

HEY ROCK BOTTOM
I SEE YOU THERE A LONG WAY DOWN
SO GLAD TO BE FALLING
I'M RIDIN ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL
BURNIN' TIL I HIT THE GROUND
WELL ROCK BOTTOM
IT SEEMS MY LOVE'S THE WRONG WAY ROUND
YEAH ROCK BOTTOM
STILL RIDING ON THE WINGS OF MY ANGEL
BURNING TIL I HIT THE GROUND
SHE'S PULLING ME DOWN, ALMOND GAZE LIKE A MAGNET
SHE DRAINING MY BLOOD WITH A SORCEROR'S STONE
GONNA QUENCH THIS THIRST FOR HER FLESH
IN THE DARKNESS
GONNA QUENCH MY THIRST IN THE WATERS OF LUST
FROM HER FOUNTAIN
HEY ROCK BOTTOM
I'VE SEEN YOU THERE THE WHOLE WAY DOWN
STILL GLAD TO HAVE FALLEN
I GOT TO RIDE ON THE WINGS OF THAT ANGEL
AND BURNED UNTIL I HIT THE GROUND
SHE'S TAKING ME DOWN TO THE LAIR OF HER SECRETS
SHE'S MIXING MY BLOOD WITH THE MUD AND STONE
I TRIED TO QUENCH MY THIRST FOR HER FLESH
IN THE DARKNESS
AN UNQUENCHABLE THIRST FOR HER WATERS OF LOVE
FROM HER FOUNTAIN
JUST LIKE A FOUNTAIN RUNNIN DOWN

Honestly, I hated this band when I first heard their Metal Blade Records debut; I thought the riffs were cool, but the vocals weren't my thing. All that has changed upon hearing this fantastic album, and it's now in daily rotation. Everything about this album is above par, and the vocals are one of the best elements of the group now. If you don't add this to your collection, then you're crazier than I am 😂

Witty and raucous as ever, the Chicago noise-rockers rip into "flat earthers" and "tween shitbags" with misanthropic glee.

Got this on cassette from stoner witch a while ago. Scanned the comments and totally agree, groovy proto-metal with heavy Sabbath vibe. Only thing I didn't see mentioned was the songcraft and in particular the lyrics. it's very difficult to carve new, memorable twists and turns of phrase into this well-worn territory, but they do just that. Well-done!
