Mazzatello's Lament: A Journey from Shadows to Redemption
Lyrics
Daily i used to get high and look up at the sky and wonder
Daily I used to get high and contemplate the sky, questioning life's purpose.
Always was a frantic fellow with a lazy eye to wander
Always a restless person with a wandering gaze due to a lazy eye.
Wonder where i would have been. abide in sin to slide and falter
Reflecting on where life might lead, acknowledging sinful tendencies, and the struggle not to stumble.
Falling to the knee to seek forgiveness, right beside the alter
Falling to my knees seeking forgiveness, near the altar.
With a weakened hand i count the knots as i recite the psalter
Counting knots with a weakened hand while reciting sacred texts (psalter).
As the time gets nigh, the days get shorter and the nights get longer
As time passes, days grow shorter, and nights become longer.
Pray to walk the narrow gate, that i don't sway and i don't saunter
Praying to stay on the righteous path without wavering.
Praises to the one, above on high, who grant the might and power
Praising the higher power for granting strength and might.
Either you will stand and fight for nothing or you hide and cower
Choice between standing and fighting or hiding and cowering.
Enemies get leveled, my projected pain inside devour
Overcoming inner pain while enemies are defeated.
Death is at the masters hand, as meteors collide and shower
Symbolic reference to death under divine control.
Those who spar against the christly kingdom in the final hour
Facing opposition against the Christian kingdom in the final hour.
Spirit cast in swine, to trawl the mountainside and jump right off it
Metaphorical depiction of spiritual degradation and self-destructive behavior.
Cursed vineyards make for rotten grapes, and so the wine is sour
Corruption leading to undesirable outcomes, likened to sour wine.
Ye may know them by the wretched fruits of what they try to offer
Judging others by the negative consequences of their actions.
Enemies of JESUS CHRIST the LORD is all who i must conquer
Identifying enemies as those opposed to Jesus Christ.
With devotion, ever darkened, from within the martyrs shadow
Expressing devotion shrouded in darkness within the shadow of martyrs.
Hallowed be the haunted high in heaven, where the graves are shallow
Honoring the haunted in heaven where graves are shallow.
With the crushing weight of fate, of moth and rust and dust and metal
Weighed down by the inevitability of fate and material decay.
Waiting for the sweet release of death under the mazzatello
Awaiting the release of death under the "mazzatello," possibly a symbolic execution.
Frater nostrum gave you black colostrum from the teat of magick
Reference to a mysterious figure providing dark knowledge.
Unbeknownst, the branded hexagram beneath his tattered habit
Uncovering hidden occult symbols beneath religious attire.
Rose a sign of times, of things to come, beyond the minds expansion
A rose symbolizing future events beyond human understanding.
And of babylons affectionate embrace and buried talents
Mention of Babylon's influence and buried talents.
Had a quick communion with the judas, therein shared the chalice
A communion with betrayal, sharing a chalice with Judas.
In the throes of agony, the heretic will suffer hapless
In the agony of heresy, the heretic suffers without hope.
As the great pathologist above bestow the final judgment
Divine judgment on the papal throne and parasitic figures in the palace.
Of the papal throne and of the parasites inside the palace

Hallowed be the haunted high in heaven, where the graves are shallow
Weighed down by the inevitability of fate and material decay.

Waiting for the sweet release of death under the mazzatello
