THE RAPE OF THE VESPERS
----------------------------------
Don't, don't you twist
Twist your head in the dark
Or shake off your fears
Slake your fears, fuel the spark
Then, on a hill
On a hill, you will spill your soul
'Cause you need what you can't take
He says "It's only intravenous poison hate."
She says, "Only?"
Lonely fathers shed their sins,
wretches grieving, leaving sins for the sons
Screw, don't you screw
Screw your head up in a vain
Or writhe in the dirt
Stay inert, feed the pain
High on a hill, we will kill
We will kill your soul...
When I looked for the Vesper skies
Venus called my name
It was dark, it was dark
And the screams were all I heard --
When I looked to the Vesper skies
Venus was in flames
It was dark, it was dark
And she waited for the stars to fall
And crush us all
Leaving sins,
sins for the sun.

Raw and hooky as heck, “Disaster Preparedness Coloring Book” is all classic, ragged indie sonics and rock-solid melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2023
