sample

i was concieved
against a wall
fucking followed, alcohol
five furious minutes
out in the cold
he paid his money
your cunt was sold

i hear the humping
every night
i see the bruises
after fights
you hide me from
your midnight guests
i hear you ask
what's your request

the minister he comes to pray
he says he'll chase your sins away
he makes you kneel
down at his feet
he preaches god
while your tongue
keeps the beat.........

Good un: pretty edgy lyrics that fit well with the distorted guitar. There is an instrument around the 1 minute mark I detected, but it was so faint I couldn't make out what it was. It sounded promising and could definitely take more of a presence.

cheers,

hi marten
think it's just the distortion you can hear, it's a longer song, more verses but this is all that's recorded.
thanks for listening

Bit of shock value in the lyrics Dan. I'm shocked!

Haven't had a chance to listen yet but I am looking foreward to it.

At first I thought you got your chronology wrong in the first couple of lines, but it all makes sense once the nature of the beast unfolds.

Keep writing
Cheers

Dan,

This certainly has plenty of impact - just needs the proverbial solo in the middle!

Cant fault the lyrics.

Nice one
Geoff
