lyrics

You promised suicide, but you lied
You never died
You spoke of trauma, but who knows what’s inside

The appetite of a tyrant, the image of a slave
You make a mess of your cradle
with the dirt you stole from the grave

Maybe insane, maybe an evil child
Maybe just weak, or maybe just addicted
Either way, you’ll make the ones around you pay
and you’re no victim

I walked the sands with you, burning son
You’re not the only one
More like a brother, but our love is done

The mad man myth of the prophet
phoenix from the smoke
I loved the way that you smashed the tablets
But the stone’s caught in my throat, then I choked

Maybe I’m fake, maybe a righteous coward
Maybe too quick to pull out some dictum
I draw the line, but am I really not your kind?
I own what’s mine, and I’m no victim

Secular Works, Vol. 2
by Extra Life

supported by 83 fans who also own “No Victim”

Brilliant union of early music and rock. Strong Cardiacs vibes. I find a lot of chamber rock to be meandering and aimlessly angular. However this stuff is different, the compositions are extremely tight and diverse. The instrumentation is sparse and rickety, but has these brilliant flashes of grandiose orchestration, it's very balanced. I don't think I've heard a more successful integration of early music into modern forms before. Absolutely a modern masterpiece of progressive "weird" music. impressivelad

Hells yeah, major "Made Flesh" vibes off of the first two tracks. Always here for for a Badalamenti/Lynch reference. Thanks for making quarantine a little more bearable Chris Kenny
