The Crone 02:42
These eyes don't work like they used to Come closer so I can see you Come closer, into the light Come closer, that's right Sit by me, hold my gnarled hand Speak louder so I can understand There's nothing left where I am It's a desert without any sand These eyes don't work like they used to Come closer so I can see you Come closer, into the light Come closer, that's right

Jewels 02:54
It isn't beautiful, it isn't true The jewels of this earth are neither beautiful nor true If the jewels of this earth are neither beautiful nor true Might they not have some other value? The jewels of this earth will never satisfy my greed Will never, will never, will never never If the jewels of this earth will never satisfy my greed There is something else I need It isn't broken, it just never was and never will be whole I know it isn't true, I know it isn't beautiful The nothingness just killed my soul As I looked into those meaningless eyes I looked into those meaningless eyes It's okay I guess, everything dies Unless it was never alive I was disappointed but not surprised

Sister, sister, wont you tell me Wont you tell me, why are you angry? It's that daisy, I don't like it I don't like the way it's always looking at me The way she's talking about me Pull them up, pull them out of the ground Pull them up, pull them out of the ground for miles around Pull them up, pull them out of the ground Pull them up, pull them out of the ground for miles around Out of the ground for miles around Sister sister, what are you crazy? What are you doing out there torturing that apple tree? It deserves destroying, I don't like it, I don't like it I don't like the way it's always mercilessly toying with me I don't care if we burn them all down I don't care if we burn them all down for miles around I don't care if we burn them all down I don't care if we burn them all down for miles around Burn them all down for miles around I know it's shiny, I know it's bright But don't touch that lightning bolt Leave right where it is in the sky Don't you drive it straight into your eyes No don't you drive it straight into your eyes I know that you want to And I'm here to protect you From all those terrible things that you need me to tell you don't do I mean don't run, I mean run I mean don't run, run run Into the forest on fire Into the forest on fire Into the forest on fire

Water, will you wash away my sins Water, will you make it clean again What is this world coming to Around here the water drinks you Around here the water drinks you Water, will you help these crops to grow Reabsorb into the ground below What is this world come and gone The dirty rain falls on and on And on and on and on and on Water, will you satisfy my thirst Won't you reconsider please, it hurts What is this world coming to Around here the water drinks you Around here the water drinks you

Old Barn 02:23
The old barn that fell down stood back up The old barn that fell down stood back up And everyone's afraid that it will fall back down Don't go near the old barn Don't go near the old barn The old shed that burned down, today it was there again A little worse for wear, but somehow risen from the ashes And everyone's afraid that it'll catch back on fire Don't go near the old shed Don't go near the old shed The old sheep that we tried to slaughter wouldn't die We're butchering and butchering, she keeps on seeming fine Nobody who's eaten it has got sick from the meat I guess it's alright if you touch the sheep Go on, I guess it's all right if you have to touch the sheep If you think you have to go near the sheep If you have to, if you really think you have to Go right ahead I guess. It's fine. Everything's fine, everybody

Dead Horse 02:08
It's so itchy And it's so hot It's so itchy It's so hot It's so itchy itchy It's so itchy It's so hot It's so hot It's your fault It's your fault It's so hot It's so itchy itchy I know I know you're angry I know I know you're angry But you can't You can't keep beating that dead horse You can't keep beating that dead horse I know I know you're angry Brother against brother

Adversary 03:53
Can you cut it off with a knife? Can you cut it off with a knife? Can you cut it off with a knife? Can you cut it off with a knife? Can you burn it off in the fire? Can you burn it off in the fire? Can you burn it off in the fire? Can you burn it off in the fire? I asked the man with the knife I asked the man with the knife He said no matter how small I will not use my knife to take a life I asked the man with the burning hand I think he misunderstood He said I am bound to only use my sacred fire here for good Maybe scratch it off with your fingers Maybe scratch it off with your fingers Why don't you just try and ignore it Could that make it go away But could you ignore it that way, ignore it that way, For all day for everyday Why don't you just try and ignore it Could that make it go away Could you ignore it that way, ignore it that way for It's everywhere It's everywhere It's everywhere It's everywhere It's every, it's every It's everywhere It's everywhere It's everywhere It's every, it's every Why don't you just try and enjoy it Seeing as you could not destroy it? Why don't you just try and enjoy it Seeing as you could not destroy it? Why don't you just try and enjoy it Seeing as you could not destroy it? Why don't you just try and enjoy it? It's everywhere

What kind of worthless god are you When the things you will will not come true? What kind of power can you command When the world is mangled in your hands? What kind of savior can you be If you chosen people aren't free? What kind of God A pathetic joke But still your creation's only hope Only hope Only hope Only hope Only hope Only hope Only hope Only hope Only hope

about

Magic Pictures is proud to present Evil Sword's full length album Agony of the Wart God. Deep inside the hideous forest, between life and death, laughter and slaughter, you'll find Evil Sword. Vocalist Kate Ferencz and bassist Ben Furgal carve out a shadowy world of percussive horrors. Bells and idyllic whistles give birth to otherworldly squeals and squawks which soon degenerate into cries of anguish and rattling chains. Will you scream in terror or dance in delight as the world burns? One thing is certain -  Once you've listened to Agony of the Wart God, you'll never be the same.
