[00:00:00] Wool Over Our Eyes - The Stupendium
[00:01:00] Lyrics by：Gregory Holgate
[00:20:00] As I skip amongst the thickets
[00:21:00] Well just look at what I\'ve found
[00:23:00] An innocent wee critter
[00:24:00] Sitting shivering on the ground
[00:25:00] Entrapped and gagged and bound
[00:27:00] Upon a sacrificial mound
[00:28:00] Such a miserable predicament
[00:29:00] So how\'d you like the sound
[00:31:00] Of a haven-cum-community
[00:32:00] A vibrant congregation
[00:33:00] Of waywards just like you
[00:34:00] The fates aligned for me to save from
[00:36:00] The depraved and heathen demons
[00:37:00] And their vile abominations
[00:38:00] Enslaving feeble minds
[00:40:00] Into a life of prostration
[00:41:00] Not like my operation
[00:42:00] Not the slightest correlation
[00:44:00] Why we\'ve dances feasts and festivals
[00:45:00] It\'s like we\'re on vacation
[00:46:00] No time for contemplation
[00:47:00] Would you like to come and take some
[00:49:00] Salvation in exchange
[00:50:00] For just some light indoctrination
[00:53:00] The pact is sealed
[01:02:00] Welcome in brethren
[01:03:00] Step down off the pentagram
[01:05:00] Blessed be and bend the knee
[01:06:00] And pledge to me forever and
[01:07:00] Forget the need to question and
[01:09:00] We\'ll never need to reprimand
[01:10:00] Lethargy is heresy
[01:11:00] You\'re very keen to lend a hand
[01:13:00] There\'s effigies to render
[01:14:00] And a temple yet to build
[01:15:00] We\'ve many seeds to tend to
[01:16:00] And there\'s earth still left to till
[01:18:00] And every second spare
[01:19:00] You\'d best remember to keep filled
[01:20:00] In reverent prayer and penance
[01:22:00] Lest dissenters shall be kill
[01:23:00] Ecting up the mess
[01:24:00] Until they find their crimes regrettable
[01:25:00] All evidence says heaven\'s light\'s
[01:27:00] Not likely for the sceptical
[01:28:00] The bedding\'s of the finest moss
[01:29:00] The lichen often edible
[01:31:00] Now don\'t you think your life outside
[01:32:00] Was tiresome and forgetable
[01:34:00] Deep in the dark of the woods
[01:35:00] Where secrets sleep
[01:37:00] We serve he who waits beneath
[01:39:00] Till the soul devotion reap
[01:42:00] For the lamb who herds the sheep
[01:44:00] In the dark of the woods
[01:46:00] We pledge our lives
[01:47:00] Sages say that faith is blind
[01:50:00] Arms raised high in sacrifice
[01:52:00] Pull down wool over our eyes
[01:54:00] Time for your donations
[01:55:00] Fill the dish up pass the gold plate
[01:57:00] Every penny pays to kill
[01:58:00] The Bishops of the Old Faith
[01:59:00] Our benefactor waits
[02:00:00] Betwixt the crippling link of old chains
[02:02:00] Tethered to the plains
[02:03:00] Until the heretics are all slain
[02:05:00] So pay the tithes and pray you might
[02:06:00] Remain upon the list of all
[02:07:00] The cherished chosen children
[02:09:00] For whom love is unconditional
[02:10:00] Your contribution\'s absolution
[02:11:00] For the guilt within you all
[02:12:00] Our movement may be new
[02:14:00] But all your sins are still original
[02:15:00] You\'ll find my sermons stirring
[02:16:00] Form the circle get your heads down
[02:18:00] Heavy hangs the neck
[02:19:00] Of any vessel of the Red Crown
[02:20:00] Blessed to be the shepherd
[02:21:00] Of the desperate and oppressed now
[02:23:00] Destined for ascension
[02:24:00] Ne\'er the wealthy ever left ground
[02:26:00] So empty out your bank accounts
[02:27:00] And dance around the fire
[02:28:00] And focus your devotion
[02:29:00] Through the crackling of the pyre
[02:31:00] So potent and ambrosial
[02:32:00] It flows through blackened spires
[02:33:00] To satiate our patron
[02:34:00] And their rancorous desires
[02:36:00] The game is barely set
[02:37:00] Yet e\'er within the deck you\'ve dwelt
[02:39:00] We\'ve never met and yet
[02:40:00] We meet again upon my pelts
[02:41:00] The cards we want are often drawn
[02:43:00] But seldom ever dealt
[02:44:00] But chance the hand you\'re given
[02:45:00] Mayhap lift you where you fell
[02:46:00] Tell me little lamb
[02:47:00] Do you see destiny immutable
[02:49:00] Does fate or dedication
[02:50:00] Keep you bended knee and dutiful
[02:52:00] Feign predestination
[02:53:00] Or is zealotry the truth of all
[02:54:00] The paths you never take and never leave
[02:56:00] Yet in the future walk
[02:57:00] Saviour or enslaver
[02:58:00] Oh these labels are but shallow things
[02:59:00] You brave the twisting mists
[03:01:00] Betwixt the hallowed and the harrowing
[03:02:00] And pray that they may shift
[03:03:00] Against the rhapsody of Haro\'s wings
[03:05:00] So just embrace the chaos
[03:06:00] And the clarity the tarot brings
[03:07:00] Deep in the dark of the woods
[03:09:00] Where secrets sleep
[03:11:00] We serve he who waits beneath
[03:13:00] Till the soul devotion reap
[03:16:00] For the lamb who herds the sheep
[03:18:00] In the dark of the woods
[03:19:00] We pledge our lives
[03:21:00] Sages say that faith is blind
[03:24:00] Arms raised high in sacrifice
[03:26:00] Pull down wool over our eyes
[03:28:00] The time has come enlightened ones
[03:30:00] The hour is at hand
[03:31:00] Or do you doubt the crown
[03:32:00] The righteous power it commands
[03:33:00] We swear to scriptures devilish
[03:35:00] Devout or ever-d**ned
[03:36:00] \'Til fetid grip from heretics
[03:37:00] Is scoured from the land
[03:39:00] Who today can truly say
[03:40:00] Their faith has never faltered
[03:41:00] Whose neck so trained to pray
[03:42:00] Would never strain against the halter
[03:44:00] These reins that pave the way
[03:45:00] Towards our patron\'s radiant reign
[03:46:00] And so which waif ordained by grace
[03:48:00] Shall fate see slain upon the altar
[03:49:00] For what have we to give
[03:50:00] Once coin and toil have been expended
[03:52:00] For naught have we to live
[03:53:00] If plots of soil to be lamented
[03:54:00] Are the unascended end
[03:55:00] To whence our mortal coil has wended
[03:57:00] The rested dead are spoiled
[03:58:00] Not with the spoils we are intended
[03:59:00] But flesh bequeathed freely
[04:01:00] Grants a life a higher purpose
[04:02:00] In death a deeper meaning
[04:03:00] Everlasting pious service
[04:05:00] Sowing seeds precedes a reaping
[04:06:00] Start a line now who\'s the first
[04:07:00] You all decided to convert
[04:08:00] So tell me why are you so nervous
[04:10:00] For your fervour has been fated now
[04:11:00] To satiate the beast
[04:12:00] In chains he waits beneath
[04:14:00] And how he craves to be released
[04:15:00] We celebrate in blessed flame
[04:16:00] So pray and take a seat
[04:18:00] And pledge unto their name
[04:19:00] Lest you be plated at the feast
[04:20:00] Let your faith remain unshaken
[04:21:00] In our monastery\'s beliefs
[04:23:00] You\'ve no claim to consecration
[04:24:00] When there\'s coffers to be greased
[04:25:00] Stay praiseful to your deity
[04:27:00] Their prophecy and priest
[04:28:00] For the sheep may be the shepherd
[04:29:00] But the flock is being fleeced
[04:31:00] Deep in the dark of the woods
[04:33:00] Where secrets sleep
[04:34:00] We serve he who waits beneath
[04:37:00] Give the flesh ascension seek
[04:39:00] From the lamb who herds the sheep
[04:42:00] In the dark of the woods
[04:43:00] We pledge our lives
[04:44:00] Sages say that faith is blind
[04:47:00] Arms raised high in sacrifice
[04:50:00] Pull down wool over our eyes
