lyrics
Do you like the smell of tortured Jesus
burning the snow?
Do you like how his veins were pulsing
underneath his ripped skin’s glow?
Do you salivate and lick your lips
swallowing your spit
imagining the sweet meat taste
from the barbeqing pit?
Do you drink the drink and talk the talk
inviting all your friends?
To bask in resurrection scents
and eat the flesh of all amends.

The CD version with all the extra tracks is fantastic. Alternating spoken word pieces with contemporary folk, back-dropped from time to time with subtle dissonance.
This album is admonishing, yet encouraging. Poignant and necessary.
So far, album of the year. Steven Reichling
