Skyclad - Sins Of Emission Lyrics
There's a beast in the cellarThere since this building was made.He's lurked in the shadowsFrom when its' foundations were laid.From my "double-helix" he taunts meHis primal voice roarsIt mocks my humanityTurning the key in locked doors.Sins of emission - an animal trapped in a civilised mindSins of emission - my formal facade for the deaf, dumb and blind.Sins of emission - spilling my seed now the harvest is sownSins of emission - come feast on a banquet of blood, flesh and bone.Though we try to denyThis primordial drive in us allWe will cease to existWhen we no longer heed nature's call.I'm a puppet of lust and my instincts are pulling the stringsNo, love's not an angel - it's merely a monkey with wings.Sins of emission - enticing and thrillingSins of emission - the flesh is so willingSins of emission - down under my skinSins of emission - we're all "in like Flynn."Temptation's the one thing we'll never resistIt flirts like a maiden that yearns to be kissedIs throwing the cradle to hells raging firesMore sinful than nursing unacted desires?Hold tightly the reinsOf your bestial instinct to breedHe's an unwelcome guestIn the "house-trained" existence you leadHow long can you muzzle this wild brute creation of yours?You can't quarantine the primeval with walls, bars and doors.Sins of emission - an animal trapped in a civilised mindSins of emission - my formal facade for the deaf, dumb and blind.Sins of emission - spilling my seed now the harvest is sownSins of emission - come feast on a banquet of blood, flesh and bone
