lyrics

Carry your cross to the top of the hill, am I being detained, Crucified in a crimson sky, Whore of Babylon enticing the beast, contrite in the calm of the night; Wake me up with your cold and worry, blood from my head I can hardly see, chains around my wrists and ankles, momma told me love is free; the gutter waits for girls like you – the gallows wait for guys like me; I don’t care what the neighbors say, I know what I want and you got what I need; You can be the victim now with a gun, retribution in your hands, how’d I arrest myself, now calling the defendant to the stand to testify; I don’t have all of this time to be wasting, I love you so much it makes me sick, legal documents and medical papers, all you haters can suck my dick; you’re the only one for me; oh baby I know that you love me; the beast that watched itself age was never meant to see the cage; hollowed men, broken lives become institutionalized; I am institutionalized

Their frenetic live performances blend elements of delta blues, jazz rock, and soul, weaving meticulously embellished, percussive guitar lines with dynamically intricate rock-organ. These provide a backdrop for Sams' baritone croon, which moves from tranquil melody into manic wails. ... more
