1.	Incantations 04:50	lyrics
Bet I’m looking ragged, guess you know I haven’t slept in days I gotchu chained up in the cellar Imma cure your wicked ways Blasphemer you are so proud Now the vile bile you spewed out Got you teetering on the edge nothing will save your soul right now I compel you to hear my Imposing incantations am I saying this thing right Unclean spirit leave this body Power of Christ the lord will guide Ooh yeah, Like that You cannot win this time With this sign I cast you out, by the father so divine You must be gone I thought for a minute there was something I could pull from the grasp Of the hating wicked spirits but I see that time has lapsed You’re integrated, so wholly tainted no redeeming piece is left You welcomed evil into your soul and I just can’t bring you back I compel you to hear my Imposing incantations am I saying this thing right Unclean spirit leave this body Power of Christ the lord will guide Ooh yeah, Like that You cannot win this time With this sign I cast you out, by the father so divine You must pass on You must be gone You must be gone You must be gone Guess I lost a little piece of myself as I peeled down from above Its just flesh my soul is pure, I will not ignore the call You robber of life, you wretched scum, I cast out in the name of the son The holy ghost and the father above, back to hell where you belong I compel you to hear my Imposing incantations am I saying this thing right Unclean spirit leave this body Power of Christ the lord will guide Ooh yeah, Like that You cannot win this time With this sign I cast you out, by the father so divine Imposing incantations am I saying this thing right Unclean spirit leave this body Power of Christ the lord will guide Ooh yeah, Like that You cannot win this time With this sign I cast you out, by the father so divine You must be gone
2.	Meat For The Masses 02:05	lyrics
Say My Name I've been lumped in with the street scum and the trash They say I got a violent side And something gon' be done bout that In time I'll have to face the maker One day I will pay your price You need a monster lurking in the shadows Something to go bump in the night You need a face to hate Something to rally against I've fallen on the sword before So set the mark and I'll fall again I ain't got that much going on I'm ready to head off whenever you are Just lead the way to the gallows baby Strap me onto that cross If I gotta burn for your piece of mind light me up Cause I ain't got that much going on I don't need to try and speak a word my sentence has been set I'll die for your sins but believe me I ain't doing this again I'm content with all the pain Being the faceless evil you stand against You say you know my name But condemn without ever speaking it I guess I'm just some meat to feed the masses Blood for blood I guess that's what I'm paying I ain't got that much going on I'm ready to head off whenever you are Just lead the way to the gallows baby Strap me onto that cross If I gotta burn for your piece of mind light me up Cause I ain't got that much going on Say my name Say my name Say my name Say my name Say my name Say my name Say my name
3.	Song of Solomon Feat. Kenny Wolfsbane 03:19	lyrics
Blood red summer west of Arkansas Where oh where have I gone wrong Heaven sent the light rushed in 26 shy baby one more sin yeah 26 shy baby one more sin Morning light son grabbed my hand Telling lies of the promise land 61 crosses in the dying light Don't gamble against the devil with his blues eyes come on Don’t gamble against the devil with his blue eyes He speaks the words but are they true? Hell I can't tell cause I'm no good Just a southern boy with a red right hand Sacrifice the ones you love Spill the blood turns dust to mud Watch the angels sing Sound the trumpets and its done Ain’t no prayer to cure that tainted blood Back to back the hits draw blood The holy word brought nothing good Pain of faith to hope and pray Got no will to blind the pain yeah Got no will to blind the pain Seventh son bring misery Hell and grief aint nothing to me When you live a life on the run You learn to get by before the devil calls You learn to get by before the devil does He speaks the words but are they true? Hell I can't tell cause I'm no good Just a southern boy with a red right hand Sacrifice the ones you love Spill the blood turns dust to mud Watch the angels sing Sound the trumpets and its done Ain’t no prayer to cure that tainted blood Nail me straight onto that cross Speaking tongues to curse the Lord Split my side flay my grin Don’t let him inside don’t let the devil win He speaks the words but are they true? Hell I can't tell cause I'm no good Just a southern boy with a red right hand Sacrifice the ones you love Spill the blood turns dust to mud Watch the angels sing Sound the trumpets and its done He speaks the words but are they true? Hell I can't tell cause I'm no good Just a southern boy with a red right hand Sacrifice the ones you love Spill the blood turns dust to mud Watch the angels sing Sound the trumpets and its done Ain’t no prayer to cure that tainted blood

about

A three track EP designed to blast the evil out your body like a sledgehammer to the soul! Hot off the heels of Lazarus, we would like to offer this to the devoted followers of the Grindhouse Gospel!

The tale of this venture is one of glorious revitalization. You see the father, the jackal and the beast grew weary after a long venture speaking the tales of Lazarus. The death and revival, the blood and sweat and tears, left them defeated and weak. Had all that needed saying been said?

Then like a glowing beacon in the brain, a booming voice directed them back to Ohio. A call from the heavens directed the Brotherhood onward, this was not to be an end at all and there is no true rest for the righteous. There in the hills, just past the trees, like a shining deity, sat H.P Gologth. He had a dream you see, a vision that they would arrive, and when he awoke he dressed and pledged that he would give to the cause, body and soul. He had been patiently waiting there since.

Suddenly a renewed jolt of energy surged amongst the camp, the words of Grindhouse Gospel boomed through the father, Red Dogs fingers bled as he played nonstop, translating the music of the angels. The pulse of the earth drove Lazarus on, and Golgoth drove them on them with his purity and excellence, his fiddle chasing any rest from their brains and the shadows from the corners of their eyes.

They next removed the coffin from their carriage and dug through the dirt within to pull the remains of the crooked goblin out, summoning him back to life. New blood coursed through his veins, his haunting wails tore through the night sky. Revived and unleashed, the ghoulish songbird stood alongside the brotherhood once again.

The final piece of the puzzle fell into place from far out west, where the land meets the sea. The howl of the wolf caught their attention. Even the ancient evils tread softly through this area, a being of divine power lurked amongst the shadows. The wolf of Christ. The creature materialized from the shadows and offered a brief moment of distraction from it's work to help the brotherhood finish this section of scripture.

Thus the Harrowing Hymnal became complete.
