Psalm Of Misery Songtext / Lyric

Misery

Knot the noose of the hanged man

Melancholy gripping the throat

The night reaches out

To choke the haunted castle of memory






This psalm of misery

Tongue heavy with coffins

The black wings of the grave

Grown decrepit with rage

This psalm of misery

Our dead mouths sing

Seizing the throat

This psalm of misery



The world's eyes are blind skies

Black sun in an impenetrable night

The hard stupidity of man

Will greet the law of the knife

Night falls within us



You will bite the horrible sun

You will pay for your share of hate

Cast the lime on our open graves



Slit the throat of man.



Psalm of Misery is deeply inspired by the writings of Georges Bataille, of which forms the nucleus of this project. In particular, reference to his writings around the formation of L'Acephale in the 1930's forms the crux of this piece.
