Skyclad

Skyclad - Sins Of Emission lyrics

rate me

There's a beast in the cellar

There since this building was made.

He's lurked in the shadows

From when its' foundations were laid.

From my "double-helix" he taunts me

His primal voice roars

It mocks my humanity

Turning the key in locked doors.

Sins of emission - an animal trapped in a civilised mind

Sins of emission - my formal facade for the deaf, dumb and blind.

Sins of emission - spilling my seed now the harvest is sown

Sins of emission - come feast on a banquet of blood, flesh and bone.

Though we try to deny

This primordial drive in us all

We will cease to exist

When we no longer heed nature's call.

I'm a puppet of lust and my instincts are pulling the strings

No, love's not an angel - it's merely a monkey with wings.

Sins of emission - enticing and thrilling

Sins of emission - the flesh is so willing

Sins of emission - down under my skin

Sins of emission - we're all "in like Flynn."

Temptation's the one thing we'll never resist

It flirts like a maiden that yearns to be kissed

Is throwing the cradle to hells raging fires

More sinful than nursing unacted desires?

Hold tightly the reins

Of your bestial instinct to breed

He's an unwelcome guest

In the "house-trained" existence you lead

How long can you muzzle this wild brute creation of yours?

You can't quarantine the primeval with walls, bars and doors.

Sins of emission - an animal trapped in a civilised mind

Sins of emission - my formal facade for the deaf, dumb and blind.

Sins of emission - spilling my seed now the harvest is sown

Sins of emission - come feast on a banquet of blood, flesh and bone.
