The Ruins Of Beverast - Spires, The Wailing City lyrics

Now it happened in the city of Spires, in the same year that this book was begun, that a certain devout woman held conversation with a suspected witch, and, after the manner of women, they used abusive words to each other. But in the night she wished to put her little s**ling child in its cradle, and remembered her encounter that day with the suspected witch. So, fearing some danger to the child, she placed consecrated herbs under it, sprinkled it with holy water, put a little blessed salt to its lips, signed it with the sign of the cross, and diligently secured the cradle. About the middle of the night she heard the child scream... Is it a goatish gorge I smell there on thy pale maiden flesh? Art thou willing to deny the Anomalous Woman – the deamon lendeth a hand Hast thou murdered unchristened children, and anointed their limbs? Hast thou received burning semen inside the womb O young gentle witch of mine...? He seemeth not disposed to lose his potency And deformed hands ruin her progeny His sinful phallus treacherously disenchanted Ecce veritatem dico sciens quod dum auditores sint verbi et non factores amplius deus offendit et lucrum meum augmentatur. And it came to pa** at a night in Rome That I dined with a Bohemian Priest. Who so woebegone moaned about a nameless tree, a female and a Daemon Who so afflicted screamed when tied to the columns of our saviour Who so calumnious mocked our Virgin in obsessive abuse of his limbs Perennially suffering... howling... crushing his teeth into the marble “Here he stood, here he stood!“
