lyrics

Seen a con man dangle from a hangman's hitch
And an altar boy strangled at a fever pitch
Seen a man named Jones with a drowned man's bloat
Caught his lover's bones neath a buzzard's throat

And they say it started once I rolled in

Seen a fistful of dollars cost a man his head
And a wealthy scholar stab his wife in their bed
Saw a star crossed bride lose the blush in her cheek
When her groom had died at the mouth of a creek

And they say it started once I rolled in

What they've all failed to see
There lies a common thread
Stranger in blood is me
Rearing my death's head

Seen a zealot preacher murder in god's name
And a lovelorn teacher smother his old flame
Seen a teenage mother throw her child down a well
Just before her brother shot them both to hell

And they say it started once I rolled in

Seen the dried up lees of a mail order bride
With her pet Maltese poisoned at her side
Seen a schoolgirl bludgeoned with a Louisville bat
I heard her kissing cousin could be traced to that

And they say it started once I rolled in

Shivery and cold, yet with a subtle feeling of warmth enfolding each track. It's instantly engaging, with a great message overall and a cinematic story behind "Neswa-Pawuk". It's emotional without losing the black metal spirit. Umbra Cornuta
