Lyrics

   Sacrifice won’t suffice
   resurrection needs your death
   to happen twice
   fall on my heart 
   and burn and forge
   your tortured black-smitten
   into the sharpest, fucking sword

   don’t assume that I’m always with you
   It’s just where my mortal body happens to be

   No Sineater to slay
   Us Children of Cain
   Watching monkey suicide, 
   Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away

   Christ consciousness
   manifest to the Golden Ratio
   5 or 500 years ago
   We were 15 foot high
   And to die
   was a Bardot Bridge(t)
   We never thought we’d cross
   To burn down behind and below

   No Sineater to slay
   Us Children of Cain
   Watching monkey suicide, 
   Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away

   don’t assume that I’m always with you
   It’s just where my mortal body happens to be

   So take your little black book
   I see the way that you look in to it
   I’ll eat it and I’ll cut my tongue
   And all the pages you spread,
   Sweet as honey you said
   But I’m choking on your bitter stories

   No Sineater to slay
   Us Children of Cain
   Watching monkey suicide, 
   Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
   Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
