SKYCLAD
"Sins Of Emission"
(Martin Walkyier)

There's a beast in the cellar, there since this building was made
He's lurked in the shadow from when its foundations were laid
From my double helix he taunts me, is primal voice roars
It mocks my humanity, turning the key in locked doors

Sins of emission
An animal trapped in a civilised mind
Sins of emission
My formal facade for the deaf, dumb and blind
Sins of emission
Spilling my seed, now the harvest is sown
Sins of emission
Come feast on a banquet of blood, flesh and bone

Though we try to deny this primordial drive in us all
We will cease to exist when we no longer heed nature's call
I'm a puppet of lust and my instincts are pulling the strings
No, love's not an angel, it's merely a monkey with wings

Sins of emission
Enticing and thrilling
The flesh is so willing
Sins of emission
Down under my skin
We're all in like Flynn

Temptation's the one thing we'll never resist
It flirts like a maiden that yearns to be kissed
Is throwing the cradle to hells raging fires
More sinful than nursing unacted desires?

Hold tightly the reins of your bestial instinct to breed
He's an unwelcome guest in the house-trained existence you lead
How long can you muzzle this wild brute creation of yours?
You can't quarantine the primeval with walls, bars and doors

Sins of emission
An animal trapped in a civilised mind
Sins of emission
My formal facade for the deaf, dumb and blind
Sins of emission
Spilling my seed, now the harvest is sown
Sins of emission
Come feast on a banquet of blood, flesh and bone
Sins of emission
Enticing and thrilling
The flesh is so willing
Sins of emission
Down under my skin
We're all in like Flynn
