about

I had intended to include this on The Kingdom Is On Fire, but felt it wasn't a good thematic fit.

lyrics

I went with my baby on out in the woods. I lasted much longer than I thought I could, but push came to shove and so went my dove, flapping and squawking her message of love. Now my girl found a new peace, just six feet away and I pray to Lord God, to please let her stay. She fell down the crevice and dashed out her brains. Her insides went outside her poor little frame. Her wetstuffs went dry like the spark in her eye and I knew where I stood forever dead she would lie. Now my girl found a new peace, just six feet away and I pray to Lord God, to please let her stay. She said "Don't leave no flowers, there upon my grave, 'cause I'm coming home love, and there will I stay." So I gathered some flowers and built up a cairn. I said a few words and got outta there, for in the woods there were sounds and I thought that I's found, but the noises were vultures that lit on her mound. That night in our bedroom came a knock on the door and the shuffling of cold feet on our earthen floor. I reached under the mattress for my hunting knife when in lurched my true love, dear departed wife.

Sons Of Perdition - Psalms For The Spiritually Dead (2010 goth country / dark folk) SR18
by Sons Of Perdition

supported by 13 fans who also own “Leave No Flowers On My Grave”

Psalms For The Spiritually Dead presents itself as a new gospel of the apocalypse, and is an outlet for listeners to experience the most otherworldly and unholy feelings of despair. The nuances of this hellish album push the bleeding edges of immersion, setting the listener dead in the center of this infernal fantasy. This is Sons of Perdition at their most poetic and sickly. arch
