The Animist 06:22
A spirit black with smoke lifts from the ashes of the house on the hill He found Elena in smoking timbers He stirred her spirit, he roused her embers He wouldn’t let her go He held her captive so He wouldn’t have to grieve Though she now begged to leave And though he moaned and reeled No pleasure could she feel She filled with hot resentment She turned her fire on him “GRrrr! Get off my bones! Get off my body! Get off me! Cover me with stones And leave me buried And leave me! So! Won’t let me go? You’re gonna get it! You’ll come too! We will go together! So feel my fire consume you!”

You give me a wet mouth That the desert takes away You give me heat strokes And the shakes Dying slowly in the Desert of Desire Your eyes in the sun crackle dryly I’m burning up Dying slowly in Desert of Desire Off in the distance what shines like a throne Vapors are laughingly masking a pile of bones I knew just what I was in for when I answered ‘yes’ To the hunt and the heat and the hunger Of the masochist. Oh! The Desert of Desire! When did all of this begin? Why did I not resist the masochist?

The Volcano 04:59
There start a slow grind, imperceptible A tickling vibration, a prickling sensation DEEP, below the root, where the gut would be AWASH with promises of violent expulsion YEAH give that astral propulsion! VOL … YES CAN … NO NO … YES VOL … YES CAN … NO NO … YES WANT IT? … YES GOT IT? … NO JUST SAY …YES VOL … YES CAN … NO NO … YES What starts as a spark and sleeps in the earth? What has deep loins that build up pressure? Chorus What has a hood with which to erupt? What sounds angry but is joyfully rough? What spews love from a megaphone? What makes steam and grumbling groans? The bee spreads his pollen to the world in an arcing spray of golden phlegm Displaying the secret of a delicate circle of take and give He dances not for pleasure yet he radiates pleasure From every bristly hair and excreted resin Creature small or mountain tall Lust burns in the heart of all What thrusts in to the sky like blood splashing on a thigh? What start hot flowing fast till slowing to cool at last? Chorus HEY NO! I didn’t ask for VOLCANO To be my master I’d say “NO!” but it’s a BLAST VOLCANO!

The Brand 05:39
The mark! The mark! The mark of me on you The smell! The smell! Of flesh and fur on fire The brand! It glows! A molten snake of iron The rod! It points! To parts now mastered Skin swollen and char-marked, joints rubbing and rope-burned Sweat beads running red in the glow of the brand Skin blisters, it’s my skin, for what’s yours is now OUR skin Our tears turning red in the glow of the brand
