lyrics

She found a book that told her how to overlook
the parts of human sin and mortal skin that Daddy crucified and bought in
To the pull and ritual and beautiful sacrificial display of full
dismantle of corruption from above

(Daddy said "get out of this house, you blasphemous little jerk"
So she wandered her neighborhood streets until she found her local church)

Without a
Touch of grace of old LaVey who possessed her then to say
that Jesus would’ve frowned upon the evil of the Holy Ones, she
found a statue of the saint, the one whose patron was spray paint,
and decorated both his eyes with the sour number 6 three times

(Daddy wondered what had happened to the little girl he raised
Worried what neighbors might have to say of how his kid behaved...)

He went and
Looked around the tiny town and found his daughter’s white night gown
She must’ve ditched, that little bitch is naked and insane for all the
People to predict and for the artists to depict in all the
Papers to convict him of neglect, inflicting shame

(Following her tracks, he entered the woods where darkness rang him in
Seeming frightened and bit overwhelmed, he found an old cabin)

He reached and
Creaked the door a crack before he found what she had in store
Like Abraham, she was the lamb, in the center of a pentagram
Surrounding skulls of animals and compatible concrete candles
Littered the floor, a satanic whore laid naked in the central pore

(Muttering a Latin phrase to herself, she looked serenely sad
Her new master wasn’t conjured at all... Unless the Devil was her dad!)

She found a knife that would bring solace to her life
To make the Devil go back down to where he came from, and the sound
Of all her screams of “Discedere ad inferos” filling where they made the sacrifice
That horrid night lives in the past and with the light.

Da da da da da!
