OILDROUGHT by Writhe & Succumb published on 2022-10-07T14:48:16Z LYRICS: THE CONGREGATION: Rise as one Writhe and Succumb Thy will (will) be done Thy kingdom come * THE SOVEREIGN EMERGENT: They flee from me that sometime did me seek Burned alive to satisfy their gluttony and greed A blackened tide is set alight to fill the sky with acrid smoke Ancient forest, liquidise! Worship me, then choke * THE SOVEREIGN EMERGENT: Underneath this wretched Earth Released from my cell I emerged from the afterbirth Of a burning well Kneel before me Your secrets sealed with the unborn blood And heed not the warning:First comes the OILDROUGHT Then comes the flood * THE WATCHERS: The scholar, the gambler, the lawyer, the sage The horror, the hunger, the anger, the rage The blood that dries black as the ink on the page The blood-price that purchased the end of an age-- has been paid * THE CONVERT: I fell in love with a man who was full of hate I fell in love with the laws of a failed state I fell in love with the creed of a bygone age I fell in love with a God who was full of rage * THE SOVEREIGN EMERGENT: Underneath this wretched Earth Released from my cell I emerged from the afterbirth Of a burning oil-well Kneel before me Your secrets sealed with the unborn blood And heed not the warning:First comes the OILDROUGHT Then comes the flood * THE CONGREGATION: Rise as one Writhe and Succumb Thy will (will) be done Thy kingdom come * THE WATCHERS: The terror, the tyrant The prayers gone silent The cities ablaze The oil in the hydrant The hatred, the horror The bloodshed, the squalor The tyrant bewildered; no lands left to conquer The coal in the furnace The sovereign is blind The cost is eternal The contract is signed The blood that dries black as the ink on the page The blood-price that purchased the end of an age has been paid. * [All music and visuals by Aran Ward Sell.
