DARLINGS DEAR…I bid you welcome. We are delighted to see you, on a night such as this, presented in both flesh and fibre and figment alike… But there is a purpose here… as all must have gained… and so I ask… What use is this mortal shell? What use is a body left groveling for its own selfish sake among a world of demons! … Demons within us— YES!... scouring the earth in solid form, splitting from the unsatiated self in form of mental tortures entombed in our mindssss, (breathe) the horrors of living, and not nearly enough time in the spiral to sit. —we are simply mad bastards! and how badly we wish to ascend in the end. tonight, we will not be buggered we will not be bothered we will not be afraid we are inhale…mean…and pristine… band repeats: mean and pristine Oh father of earth forgive us, for what we do is sin I am a vessel we are vassals. vassals of our own vehement providence— Breathing in (band inhales) and breathing out. (band exhales) Horrible fates! grant these feeble hands the powers that be! Let our eyes see the beauty of being on this all-hallow’s eve! To feel the world at our tender finger tips for the first time, grasping, grasping…grasping hold of the great divine, now remove these evil titillations of mine remove me from my spine, my flesh encased corporeal form, we want to be angels, nothing more, I feel you…You are…within us… within meee, the all-encompassing, forces flowing, the cold hands of freedom, reaching to touch! Sigrid: I SEE it! Aidia: I SEE IT! –I can hear and see it too! The light of ascension! Twinkling…ohhhhh! Beautiful! Oh beaUTiful! Yes! Take me up! Tear these useless tendons, Let my sour skin be flayed, my bones hung to dry, remorse, putrid—stink!! beautiful—free and beautiful body and mind—The trueness of NOTHING! —Give It To Me?! I can be pure?! I can drink from the fountain! I can take it! I can take it! I can do it too! It’s all for you! It’s always been you!!! It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault It’s all your goddamn fault you ffffffFFFFFUCKERSSSAH!!!!!! No….no!!! soiled sacraments?! UNFATHOMABLE MOCKERIES HIDDEN IN THESE SHADOWS! Stay back! Stay back! DEMONS! Ghouls! the bald cantors of hell casting forth their cackled spells— entrapment! EVIL! MY OWN DOING! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOHOHOH WE MUST BE SEVERED!! SAVED!! SACRIFICE I’M SORRY NOW TAKE ME!! KILL ME!!! WHY WONT YOU KILL ME!!! WHY WONT YOU KILL ME!! WHY WONT YOU FUCKING KILL ME!!! WHY WONT YOU LET US DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! SILENCEE!!!!!!! Aidia: do you hear it?? Punishment? Punishment? Dear god, do you hear? the unphasable mouth of agony? For I can hear them well. Now Brace your poor and sorry shells For nothing can hope to save us from the hollow gates…of…HELLLL!!!!!!! I REPENT!! I REPENT!!! I RELINQUISH MY ROLE, I RELINQUISH IT ALL!! NO!!!
