sleep through the war
while there's time
look ahead
a wasteland shudders
deep in snow and fresh with death
did we mean to see the end
seconds turned to molten lead
the transport
has left
and the airport
is dead
foreign people
are heat
and the dogs have
forgotten
our faces
our faces
our faces
our faces
sleep through the war
while there's time
look ahead
mineral magicians
promises of infidelity
like the bird's story
flap until you crash
swelling lungs with ash
your tiny head
numb and
dead
our faces
PICK YOUR SHIT UP
'FORE YOU LEAVE TOWN

what's going on in there?
let me go through the door
please i insist on coming in
i hear your teary eyes
crying on the wind tonight
stored inside a magnet drive
(it's gonna lose you)
okay im leaving now goodbye
there will be certain sacrifice
coming complete inside your vault
it's not my fault it's not my fault
the bloody strands are weaved into a mat of angel's hair
kill yourself
while there's time
while you are
ready
able
it's closer
(we were inseparable
kissing the walls together
our lips against the tether
we brought god's heaven closer)
are you locked up in there?
let me fetch water soon
i do not read you, animal
can all the lawyers leave
it's getting dark outside
you lepers thrive on sympathy
(nothing from me)
swine in the cell
press the button
swine in the cell
don't press charges
swine in the cell
press the button
swine in the cell
don't press charges

feel my fury
as i come through the wall
now inside of me
is a story to be told
tied to
the wheel in tide
don't you lose your mind
and summon
devil winds
that whip at me
feel my fury
as i come through the wall
now inside of me
is a throwing of the scroll
tied to
a different time
don't you lose your mind
and summon
demon friends
that lash at me
do you think you'll last with me tonight
do you think there's any chance in sight
come to the castle
baby wont you please
come into my palace
mmm you're such a tease
ooh let me see you
feel my fury
as i come through the wall
now inside of me
is a story to be told
tied to
the wheel in tide
don't you lose your mind
and summon
devil winds
that whip at me
feel my fury
as i come through the wall
now inside of me
is a throwing of the scroll
tied to
a different time
don't you lose your mind
and summon
demon friends
that lash at me
deals with certain witches
under the spectral moon
sharpened teeth are looking down
from the countenance of doom
can i please borrow your heart?
eternity
eternity
atrophy
atrophy
let go of my skull
deepening velvet and shallowing sea
do you remember that sweet memory?
years were erased as we hunted our prey
even the mighty will some day decay
feel my fury
as i come through the wall
now inside of me
is a story to be told
tied to
the wheel in tide
don't you lose your mind
and summon
devil winds
that whip at me
feel my fury
as i crush your skull
now inside of me
is atrocity untold
as your bone
splinters twine
don't you dare
to die
let go of the skull
lock your front door with a skeleton key
do you remember that sweet memory?
you were erased as i hunted my prey
even the puny will some day decay

all the tyrants
walk among us
just like jesus
aching to perform
some rape
some atrocity
of demon intent
the killing of saints
the blood through
the paint
on pictures
long forbidden
all the tyrants
swing their members
swaggering
through
dismembered corpses
gleefully having their way
gleefully having their way
the market has crashed
the stock broker's bent
while we dine
on his spine
no more rent
slay the tyrants of old
listen to the stories that foretold
of this
the people have crashed
the house has come down
do you see
where we'll be
all acting like clowns
the tyrant, alive
like phoenix in flames
give it up
fill your cup
with his name

fall down from heaven
i looked at you and i asked
'why don't you recognize me?'
"cause i don't know you are"
i looked at you and i asked
'why don't you recognize me?'
"cause i don't know you are"
pray to god to let him speak through all that you can imagine
fall down from heaven
you looked at me and you asked
'why don't you recognize me?'
"cause i don't know you are"
you looked at me and you asked
'why don't you recognize me?'
"cause i don't know you are"
honey
river winding
milk is splashing through the landscape of my mind
praying for you and me
it's the way i was raised my dear
praying for you and me
it's the way i was raised my dear
don't need no church to go to
don't need no stinkin lies
i'm too good for these god damned people
(???)
fall down from heaven
i looked at you and i asked
'why don't you recognize me?'
"cause i don't know you are"
you looked at me and you asked
'why don't you recognize me?'
"cause you don't know anything"
as the church lets you go
will you stay in this story
as the church lets you go
will you haunt for the glory
of god

cook all your meals in your house
it's not a question of choice
the stricken men at your door
what do they know of struggle?
lest you forget yourself
don't you mention this to them
that once you were sick as a dog
and the shame you felt
shame you felt
turning rain to ice
though your brain is snow
death is frozen shut
don't throw up
little man big knife
masks in deepest night
june is nowhere close
life itself froze
once you are finally out
does it remind you of her?
the daughter of terrible years
and the sister of war
she wore their little veins in her hair
tied a knot round their bones
a terrible sickness comes on
why can't you forget all this
paralyzed in dreams
in the blackness, still
fingers stroke your hair
tugging gently now
down your brow
not a light in sight
nor a shore to see
not a word falls
in these halls
you should not trust yourself
with this

you read my mind
do you want to have an orgy?
damn right it's time
do you want to do it with me?
i'm in love with a false creation
i plug it in
do you tremble when you're near me?
i let it flow
can you settle for reality?
i'm in love with a false creation
the glow of radiation
(makes my face feel funny)
i should stop doing this
(when the light creeps in)
i had a brief vacation
(spent it in a library)
then back to working
(slavery brings you to me)

the candles burn your eyes
see the sweat on your face now
bed is made for two yeah yeah yeah
your love in the palm of my hand!
i thought we made that deal
although you were in dire straits then
she contracts her muscles, there we go
the smell of eden fills the room and
just let me cuckold thee
she's getting into it
while you stare at our heaving bodies now
how unworthy were you you
to chain this whore up in your dungeon?
a trifle over some coin yeah?
is that how friends treat friends treat friends now?
come correct and let me have her
i will devour her every part until you
just let me cuckold thee
(let up your pride now)
just let me cuckold thee
(come correct with yourself now)
(???)
you are beaten at last
look at us while we do what you cant
i give her all she needs
and she wears a black mark on her soul now
and as i finish inside
she is spent as the spirit in you
you come down to the foot of the bed
and she screams with pleasure
as the falling axe
cuts
you let me cuckold thee
(it's the only way out now)
just let me cuckold thee
(you are one with yourself now)
you let her murder thee
(what a perfect conception)
you make us suffer thee
(it's the only conclusion)

spider weave your web
do you follow the line?
'cross the forest floor
down the road long long forgotten
venomous desire
do you follow the line?
'cross the forest floor
here there will be jurisdiction
law law law law law law law
insects gather round
do you follow the line?
on the forest floor
life is different than you knew it
venomous desire
do you follow the line?
on the forest floor
spiders eat the flies every time
leave this place
leave
spider weave your web
do you follow the line?
'cross the forest floor
down the road long long forgotten
venomous desire
do you follow the line?
'cross the forest floor
here there will be jurisdiction
the hanging approaches
the people have gathered to see
the insects are marching
in tune with the fatality
the forest is silent
the town square is still as the grave
the lines have been drawn
and the judge has returned to his cave

can you believe it?
over the edge she flew!
the monster had captured the maiden
and it made
unreasonable demands
what a story!
like something you would read
in a fantasy
not something real like this
i'm telling you it
it made it made reasonable
no unreasonable demands!
so i went up to him
i said
i said
what do you think you're doing?
that's my chattel you're holding
in your big dumb fist
you're making unreasonable demands!
oh oh don't try to sweet talk your way out of this
it's about time you and me got down to
brass tacks
nuts n bolts
tell me what you're after
not all of this shit talk
it's unreasonable
nononono
to conclude this little story
the fella fueled his anger mightily
but i gave him the old stab in the gut
then the boy-o was ripe for the killing
ah dear lord how i struggled to chop his limbs off
let my princess out and have a good ol time with her
you know i'm something of a romantic
once i get going
we drank his blood and got busy on his corpse
yeah!

once i went to a land in the east
where the sun was crowned
as emperor of everything
there i met many enemies
on their dragons
breathing fire down on me
are you friend
are you foe
i fear i must destroy you
are you friend
are you foe
i dare not try employ you
so i journeyed through the years
let down by expectations meeting realities
then i looked to the seas
i found myself trapped with no ship to lease
oh my angel here
wilst thou help a foreign sire?
oh my angel here
wilst thou lift me out this mire?
i'd be good with anything
oh oh oh oh
let the stars guide me home
sayonara samurai
lay the sword down
and break on through the water
oh samurai
meditate
the running river takes me
the running river
out into the sea
i'm fast asleep
i'm dead asleep
don't you wake me till i'm home now
tell me all those stories of old
the wars that raged manyfold
can you believe in such a thing?
of these things some only sing
the spider
the mother
please do me a favor and listen to the start
oh my angel here
thou hast helped a trusty sire
oh my angel here
lifted me out of the mire

i read your mind
i'm binding books about you
i read your mind
i'm writing letters to you
so can you find
some time to reply to me
drinking some wine
and spending time together
but now that i know you
i want you shut your face
oh now that i've heard you
your shrieking is driving me
crazy
but now that i know you
i want you shut your face
(cunt)
oh now that i've heard you
your shrieking is driving me
crazy
now our life
consists of shutting you up
yes it's a drag
having to mute your shit talk
your nagging voice
it haunts me day and night baby
just tone it down
it's getting hard to hold back
but now that i know you
i want you shut your face
oh now that i've heard you
your shrieking is driving me
crazy
but now that i know you
i want you shut your face
(cunt)
oh now that i've heard you
your shrieking is driving me
crazy
fifteen pills one cup of wine
don't leave anything behind
gagged and deprived
you can't see anything
nor
express yourself
like a hyena stuck
in heat
just blink twice if you
agree

Starting out in the mid-50s, The Seneschal Arrives revolves around the two core members Targ Lothervinius and Lok Grédning, two of the most uncompromising and relentless creative forces in avantgarde/independent rock. Leading a fully organic lifestyle on the famed and feared "Wolf Isle", they still avidly write and record music to this very day.
During the late 70s, Targ and Lok were lucky enough to test early analogue Moog Music Inc. and Roland Co. equipment, such as the Model-B and an analog prototype version of the TR-707, long before they were released to market. These special prototypes are featured in a range of their recorded works, along with other analogue equipment.
Since our friends absolutely despise anything digital, this site has been set up by distant friends and diehard fans in an attempt to spread their genius across a broader spectrum of listeners.
This is their ninth album.
released December 18, 2018
T. Lothervinius: vocals, synthesizer, rhythm composer
L. Grédning: bass, guitar, synthesizer, rhythm composer
Mastered for high quality SACD.
