Hear me O protecting spirits
I have lit a lamp for thee
So that my words shall be strong
On this dark and horrible night
In my sleep I am afflicted
By sickly sinister visions
The doors between dimensions open wide
A hideous vortex stares back at me
Gigantic, looming on the western horizon
It reaches from afar to lay hands upon me
As I see them so to do they see me
With fire I shall banish thee
Terrors of the night, malignant pursuers
Back! To the dark yawning emptiness
Back! Do not come against me
Flames go forth from my hands
To banish thee from my sight
Back to the infinite abyss
Away ye hideous phantasm
A curse I lay upon thee
By fire and magic and venom
My body shall not be yours
My blood shall not be yours
My soul shall not yours
I shall not be yours

Members of Baptists, 3 Inches of Blood, and more stage a well-executed d-beat demolition derby with flourishes of grind and doom. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 18, 2018
