about

Protagonist: MOLOCH
Sin: Gluttony / Consumerism

GREED, aka The Rape and Ruin of Earth.

The need for MORE; "our" journey as people through the gross, greedy nature of humanity. The need for MORE. The unstinting unrelenting drive to devour more and more, to be more and more selfish and to consume and gorge our fill, to suck all the resources (natural, or otherwise) into our own gluttonous possession with no thought for the effects on future generations, or on the ravages of the Earth and other people it inevitably creates; full on disharmony, clashing culture we've invented for ourselves, with no time to enjoy the beauty, the melody, each other, as the consuming gulp of capitalism surges ever on, devouring communities, progression and everything but its own ever growing belly.

lyrics

I AM THE MOUTH THAT GORGES EDEN’S DELIGHT
AS ALL THINGS WRACK AND RUIN, RAVENOUS BLIGHT
AS I DEVOUR GAIA
SUCCULENCE DRAINED, AS WE CHOKE ON LIFE

WHAT IS WILL NOT
AS CHOICE BE TWISTED ILL
INSATIABLE, RELENTLESS
AS GUT BE SWOLLEN STILL
THE RAPE OF ROOT AND STEM
WE VIOLATE
WE CONSUME WITH NO THOUGHT FOR ONES TO COME
AS WE DESECRATE

I AM THE MOUTH THAT GORGES EDEN’S DELIGHT
AS ALL THINGS WRACK AND RUIN, RAVENOUS BLIGHT
AS I DEVOUR GAIA
SUCCULENCE DRAINED, AS WE CHOKE ON LIFE

MYOPIC GLUTTONY TO DRAIN OUR RESOURCE NOW
TO TAKE ALL THAT SHE HAS TO OFFER AND DEPLETE HER FRUCTUOUS FLOWER
WE TAKE! WE BREAK! WITH BURNING, GRASPING HANDS!
NO REVERANCE FOR THE BEAUTY SLAIN, WE WANT IT ALL!

AND SO WE RAVAGE SHE WHO GAVE US LIFE

AND SO INDUCED INTO BELLY DISTENDED, TO TEAR APART THAT WHICH FED YOUR FLESH

FROM SUSTENANCE TO ENTITLEMENT

ECOLOGICAL MURDER, USE OUTSTRIPS ALL NEED
NO SYMBIOTIC REPLENISHING, YOU FUCKING PARASITES!

LEAD: ‘Mesmeric Pandaemonium’ (Lee James Appleton)

SUCH BOUNTY! SUCH BEAUTY! WE MUST FIND A WAY
YET MAW SO (over) FLOWING WE ARE STOPPED FROM SCREAMING
 
HAIL MOLOCH! THEY OFFER THEIR SEED TO THEE

OUR CHILDREN’S PATH, RAZED. DENIED.
WE’LL FEED THEM DUST ABOMINATION
A HOST STRIPPED BARE, FOR FEAR WE WILL BE DENIED
