GHOSTPRIEST

In life – love gnawed my skin – love gnawed my skin – to this white bone
A crock of dust – a crock of dust – a crock of dust is my dear home
What love did then – love does now – gnaws me through – to this white bone
A crock of dust – a crock of dust – a crock of dust – is my dear home

In voice furred with frost Ghost said to Priest – said to Priest
In voice furred with frost Ghost said to Priest – from the mist:
“Neither of these countries do I frequent – Earth is my haunt”
Ghost said to Priest – from that pale mist – Ghost swore to Priest:
“There sits no higher court than man’s red heart – Depart – Repent – Depart
In life love gnawed my skin” Ghost said to Priest – Ghost said to Priest:
“In life love gnawed my skin to this white bone – this white bone
What love did then – love does now – gnaws me through to this white bone
Until that time a crock of dust is my dear home” – Ghost said to Priest:
“Of Hell and not the fiery part – you inhabit the frozen waste – Repent – Depart
Before God’s trump–crack splits the sky – Repent – Depart
The day of Doom is not yet come – the day of Doom is not – not yet come
The day of Doom is not yet come – Repent – Depart
There sits no higher court than man’s red heart”

In life love gnawed my skin
In life love gnawed my skin – to this white bone
A crock of dust is my dear home
Earth is my haunt
Love is my taunt
Love is my taunt

In voice furred with frost Ghost said to Priest – Ghost said to Priest
In voice furred with frost Ghost swore to Priest – swore to Priest:
“Neither of these countries do I frequent – Earth is my haunt
In life love gnawed my skin – to this white bone – what Love – Love
Too great love of flawed Earth-flesh could cause this sorry pass – what Love
Love gnawed my skin - to this white bone – this white bone”
Ghost said to Priest : “ what love did then - love does now”
Ghost said to Priest : “it gnaws me through – gnaws me through
Before God’s trump–crack splits the sky – Repent – Depart
Before God’s trump–crack splits the sky – Repent – Depart
There sits no higher court than man’s red heart – man’s red heart
Inhabit the frozen waste of Hell and not the fiery part – not the fiery part
Earth – Earth is my haunt – Earth is my – Love is my taunt – Love is my taunt
The day of Doom – Repent – Depart –before God’s trump-crack splits the sky
The day of Doom is not yet nigh – The day of Doom is not yet nigh”


Sliding rain
Chill sweat
Crossed storm
Wet earth
Each thorn
Best get you gone
