Lucifer 06:07
Was it something that I said? Tell me, what did you expect? Perhaps you’d like to reassess how you define disrespect And if you keep that in mind I can talk you through the night Pull up a seat and let me offer you a light Look at the damage you’ve done I wonder if it’s enough Over time I’ve learned to live with the disgrace Perhaps it would be more than you could take As one thing seems to be resolved, another takes its place And though I’m not inclined to tell you what to do I get a sense you’d like to know the truth Well in that case I might be just care to share my point of view Look at the damage you’ve done I wonder if it’s enough To show the trick is cheap And offers no relief Look at the damage you’ve done I wonder if it’s enough But let’s not pretend there’s some hidden treasure It’s just desperate times call for desperate pleasures Look at the damage you’ve done I wonder if it’s enough To show the trick is cheap And offers no relief And you can start a war But will it bear the grief Of never speaking truth But always being believed

Coming down In the shadows I speak your name And wait for you to come possess me again Tendons flex in the light of the flame And doors open up into a chequered past If your perspective will allow the questions asked As muscles pulse As bodies dance And what is felt And what is seen Tell me what you’re desiring You know you want it It’s all you need Now repeat it back to me My spine is loose But full of fire I call out your name and wait for a reply To break across the static of my mind Is it my body Is it a curse The thoughts move through my brain and down into the earth And I feel the heat come off your words What is it you wanted And what is your need Tell me what you’re desiring I need to feel this I need to see Break the locks inside of me Create a hell to set me free Come down ignite the darkness In a conflagration of the names Tell me how the pieces move here Tell me how to beat the game Now I want the vision I can feel Now I want you to give me the voice Distort the channels and fuck the transmission Corrupt the power and bring us all the joy

Personas 06:06
There’s a memory of a wound that keeps me restless and aware of its presence as I move into positions to keep you from the harm that infects all the acts that I perform And my love I think of it every day There’s a lesson to be learned from the sorrow but it weighs so heavy on my heart Can I carry the momentum that is needed or will I falter and open up the scars Please remember these few words if I fall apart I think of you every day My love I think of you every day My love Tell me there's another way My love I think of it every day

Starred 06:19
Is that what you wanted Is that what you needed to be Check the charts and interpret And get back to me Is there an illusion You could choose to believe Without defences Or self deceit You said Go find it Is there a process To manifest belief Come cut the cards now And accept how they read Watch the candle Burn away the seed Of its existence For someone else’s need You said Go find it You said Go understand This Unburden all the lies that Corrupt your prophesying And come unbound from your stars Desire to understand that The wheel is in your hand and Come unbound from your stars You said Go find it Go find it You said Go find it Go find it

Neon Suns 05:47
Mirror, metal, match. Mirror, metal, match. Fire fell and I caught it here. Fire fell and I made it here. Fire fell and I kept it here. Mirror, metal, match. Mirror, metal, match. Mine is the power, Mine is the kingdom, Mine is the glory. Amen ———— Bring violence To your limbs Hex induction Born of sin We form currents Out of our will Come phosphorescent Divine revealed Scarlet candles Devouring flames Scatter the ashes And rise again Flaunt your open wounds And praise what you’ve become My incandescent daughters My incandescent sons My desire is strong But my heart is broken Bright my vision burns With every word unspoken Let these limbs outstretch Let my fists come open All the lights proclaiming My love is awoken Mirror, metal, match. Mirror, metal, match. Mirror, metal, match. Mirror, metal, match.

Revelations 04:24
Last call for illumination Last call for the present tense Burned bridges and imagination Won’t save you from the edge And don’t give me your excuses That you should’ve known better Should’ve know better than this Wax mounds scrying no good omens From candles burnt at both their ends With their wicks all turned to ashes There’s no way to make amends And all the signals turned to static Because I should’ve known better I should’ve known better than this Tear down the ground from you And bring waves to calmest blue Watch all the skies fade to grey And let it burn all away And now you've nothing Nothing left Tear down the ground from you And bring waves to the calmest blue Watch all the skies fade into grey And let it burn Let it burn all away

Rebel Angels 05:43
Lovers Come down to me Open up to me Let me in Listen now It’s in your hands again It's time to go my friends Let's not be late Fallen from the skies The lighting asks for its reply Come forth you daughters of the night And multiply So Of wonder This light will reveal Come open Break apart the seals Your caged heart yearns for its freedom And we will not kneel Beneath shattered dreams Corrupting in language Dress your flesh in light And let your sovereign colours shine Your right to own what is divine Won’t be denied All that’s good and evil : it's yours Pull apart the stars And let the light spill from your scars The desperate break down all the doors That segregate this life’s rewards And all you lovers Come down to me Open up to me Lovers Come down to me Open up Open up UP Of wonder Let this light reveal Come open Break apart the seals Your caged hearts yearn for their freedom So let them feel All of the light is claimed back from above Come now destroy all your limits with love

Ashes 03:25
Setting apart All that was left We turned our faces away And began to walk Along that road As the light began to fade And all that I was And all you will be We let the fire take To try and forget All that we could Without repeating mistakes And in the ashes I can see the truth But pretend I was perfect Pretend I was good

about

They say the Devil has the best tunes...

This is a work of Fire, and Fire will illuminate and burn without discretion.

It was written and recorded during a time when large parts of the World were quite literally aflame.

It is a reminder of your strength and your sovereignty.

And with that in mind, this one is for me.

With love and thanks to Violeta Page, Chiara, Peter Grey, Alkistis Dimech, Danny Lowe, Tom Sewell, Ben Chasny, Dale Cornish, Anthoney J. Hart, Jonathan K. Shaw, Lisa Lavery, Andy Holden, Andrew Anderson, Richard Skelton, Autumn Richardson, CJ Thornhill, Ryan Valentine, and Lucifer.
