Black Pudding lyrics

[pin964]

I'm looking for BP lyrics.
I'd appreciate it so much.

[Grumpella]

Ya gotta be quick for lyrics, they were up on the official site for a very short time but seem to have disappeared. Doesn't look like Raeni even got them up on the onewhiskey site. But, I am quick (sometimes). Copied from the word doc I made of them :

pentecostal

down so long now jesus
you know i been down so long
far turned out and freezing
won’t you carry my body home

this is why i came
to live a life in a day
with a fire in my head

who’s got the keys to the workhouse?
satan has locked the door
got no wings to take us
up off of that killing floor

is this why you came?
to handle a snake
and wear a new starry crown

there’s no phoenix rising
to a mansion up the hill
this albatross i’m riding
is a train just standing still

this is how i came
with a stench and a stain
to be washed in the blood



war memorial

good, have i done good?
i fell on command
give me my first and last medal

observed in ritual behind the door
a heavy ivory white door
where i’ve come off my hinges

fire underground, i murdered a sentry there
without wanting to
wasn’t nothing else to do

saw a squad of deserters hung from an oak
saw officers shot from their saddles
through driving snow and through black smoke

with a pack of feral dogs snapping at my hooves
eyes rolled back in their heads
the blank blessed eyesight of the dead

entire battalions snuffed like a spark
beat like a heart
drowned by an ocean

don’t tell me the ending of the play
don’t make me look
look in the mirror



mescalito

oh mescalito
many happy returns
you know i’m gonna need you
gonna need you when i burn
mescalito

i’ll rest in your shadow
you take the sorrow from my heart
and i’ll be forever with you
though the world keeps us apart
mescalito

mescalito
what remains is only mud
in the wake of troubled waters
the stain of holy blood
mescalito

now the light is dying
we’ll soon be dying too
see this hot city summer
through your eyes so blue

words on written pages
a pound of coffin nails
where losing is contagious
i’m tied down to the rails
mescalito
many happy returns
you know i’m gonna need you
gonna need you when i burn
mescalito
take the sorrow from my heart
oh mescalito
though the world keeps us apart
though the world keeps us apart



sphinx

it comes to line the road with scarlet flowers
creatures begin to stir in a rush
through summer days that last a thousand hours
til nighttime drops down in a hush

a choir brightly sing
shine like an heirloom ring

within the tomb that has the light interred
in time will she release her prisoner
no sound at all the cold is swallowing
the rise and fall of some black hooded thing

a solitary bird
hides beneath its wing

til ivy paints the wall with green again
and all god’s creatures start to crawl
from when the harvest moon is vanishing
a lonely crow begins to call

a solitary sun
sleeps above it all



last rung

why all this gloom in my mind’s eye?
gone to my head like sweet wine
midnight whispers so quietly
i turn to look but it might be
a song sung
from the last rung

when night air is thick with misty rain
and your tears spill like champagne
one that’s gone that you hoped for
looks like one that you prayed for
a prayer you hung
from the last rung



driver

gonna be your driver

gonna drive you home

gonna be your driver
cause’ you’re all alone



death rides a white horse

cut your midnight black hair and roll you in the the dirt
just slide the needle in until it doesn’t hurt
if death rides a white horse then i ain’t seen him yet
and i have seen some things that i can’t soon forget

when death comes creeping in
oh he don’t speak a word
the heavens they don’t part
no trumpeter is heard
when death comes creeping in

not feeling any pain
just the rain upon my skin
as i step down off the train
let the grinding wheel begin
see the stars without number
they shine without a name
only god knows where i’m going
only god can know my shame

gonna cut your black hair
gonna roll you in the dirt
gonna slide the needle in until it doesn’t hurt
cut your midnight black hair

if death rides a white horse then i ain’t seen him yet
if death rides a white horse



thank you

i left the levee straightaway
but it don’t cease its weak complaining
i’ve been crawling through disease
and all i know is it keeps raining

i see the dead unsteady walking
hear the radio keep talking
the world on fire
a jubilee
because the carnival is toxic

now to go down into the night
with darkness all that i require
i’m a fallen satellite
no hand of god can lift me higher

i thank you baby
baby please
thank you for the times we’re living
i will fall down to my knees
and i’ll be closer then to heaven

you ever seen it rain so hard
that you know the sky is bleeding?
no redemption in the cards
not only love can break your heart
believe it

not only love can break your heart
believe it



cold molly

cold molly
cold cold molly
cold molly ride
cold molly
cold cold molly
cold molly ride

girl don’t you go, just make my rooster crow
and i’ll love you more than heaven
stay with me stay, love me each and every way
and i’ll love you more than heaven

heat on up
heat on up now love

rolling river sound gonna hold your body down
cold molly straight to heaven
come out and play love me each and every way
and i’ll love you more than heaven



shade of the sun

i stood down in the shade of the sun
to look for some better days
a better day had not yet dawned
tried to cross where the water was wide
thought i saw eden across on the other side

oh lord
lord don’t you hear me
oh lord
lord can’t you hear me

i stood down in the shade of the sun
to look for my woman
my woman she was gone
kept a hammering away at the gate
i kept a knocking but i was far too late

woman
woman don’t you hear me
woman
woman don’t you hear me

i stood down in the shade of the sun

Many, many thanks Grumpella! I didn't be enough quick to grab it.

But why they were removed???
