I am desperate to make difference
Even when I burn at stake
As dramatic as I am vile
Charms of indispensability
Have never failed me though
they won’t work on you
Won’t work on you
Now entwined in flames
So perfectly sane I
I do thank you
I do thank you
My beloved one
Don’t you know
You.do.not.insult.the.witch
You.do.not.insult.the.witch
When you broke into the silence of my shelter
I welcomed you
I said:
Nevermind the rats, the blood, the vicious writings
I’d change for you x3
If you promise not to ever break the spell
You’ve had your fun, oh, haven’t you?
Now I will have mine
Knot by knot
I tie you closer to the pole to which I hold
Among the raging fire
When the world
Shrank to the size of bliss
And took the shape of you
I’d run too, if I were you
The weight that’s off my back
Will make you burn with me, my love
So just don’t let go

There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2022
