herod's building catastrophe
somewhere up in galilee
stone walls raised of ire and fury
monuments to his vainglory
progeny exterminated
preference of swine over kindred
bloodthirst still unsatiated
innocents are intricated

the dragon
01:28
|

|
he waits in the eaves
for the seed to come forth
sends out secret police
opponents ruled by force
do you dance with the dragon
or give him what he wants
do you dance with the dragon
in the corridors he haunts
a claw drawn across
insides glow pink
lips slowly defrost
as the tongue sips a drink
do you dance with the dragon
he'll take what he wants
when you dance with the dragon
he becomes your consort
the seven heads lift
heptad of diadems glint
upward, he drifts
leaving no footprint
the earth opens up and
swallows the river
by his instruments and imps
he leaves not a sliver

io, Saturnalia!
03:32

i bit down on a golden coin
on the dawn of the debauchery
the cheers rose up around
a stamp on my authority
the best of days
the bonds around my ankles falling down
io saturnalia
io, io, io saturnalia
io saturnalia
io, io, io saturnalia
i wandered out into a crowd
like a lord i suffered nothing
my pilleus i wore proud
amidst chaotic rushing
december liberty
plates piled high and feasting all around
my master standing there
the swirling mass conceals me
stride up to him and glare
wait for him to take the knee
his eyes grow wide
dark delight and laughter resound
io saturnalia
io, io, io saturnalia
io saturnalia
io, io, io saturnalia
they took my cane and cutlery
a paltry expiation
burned them up for mother lua
an unwilling abdication
dethroned at the convivium
thrashing as they take my felted crown
hoisted up and carried far
toward the temple of saturnus
watching that fated star
i sense my body grow cadaverous
place my head down yieldingly
and hear the wind behind the axe head falling down
io saturnalia
io, io, io saturnalia
io saturnalia
io, io, io saturnalia

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10.
