lyrics

there is a primal behavior in all of us
depicted in triptychs by Hieronymous

transgressions of whose laws exactly?
warnings of temptation entice
to kill off the id is
an unnatural cause
what do we think we are?

delighting in flesh and in vices deemed grotesque
what evolutionary defect has us secondguess our impulses?

transgressions of whose laws exactly?
warnings of temptation entice
to kill off the id is
an unnatural cause
just what do we think we are?

death by misadventure
chasing the thrill too far
slave to no oppressor
as seen in the altarpiece

fall from grace
into the Hellmouth
rightful place
heaven gone south

urges surface and collide with the head
coveting sin with such unflinching gravitas
is to evolve to know of shame?
beyond the arts we're only animal
