Stave Off the Hungering Childe [SACD Master]

from Entranced, Deceived, Hunted, Injured & Captured [SACD Master] by The Seneschal Arrives

lyrics

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
