The Orphans of Piety
from The Ritual Fires of Abandonment by Minsk
lyrics
Fire dance of self deprecation dopamine receptivity
The orphans of piety we are birthed into sorrow and shame
A truth to believe a thirst for reprieve
Our throats scorched with the sins of our fathers we burn with the sins of our fathers
These sacred certainties floated right past me and I cannot remember my name
Scandalous proclivity these orphans of piety
We cherish our reprimand pain in your shadow where I stand
Draw a circle around me in the sand I have breathed in but released your lungs
Of Ave Maria’s from wombs of the one I have wandered each day
From the alter to the grave in search of your name and face
I have seen your shadow where I stand
The orphans of piety we are birthed into sorrow and shame
A truth to believe a thirst for reprieve
Our throats scorched with the sins of our fathers we burn with the sins of our fathers
These sacred certainties floated right past me and I cannot remember my name
Scandalous proclivity these orphans of piety
We cherish our reprimand pain in your shadow where I stand
Draw a circle around me in the sand I have breathed in but released your lungs
Of Ave Maria’s from wombs of the one I have wandered each day
From the alter to the grave in search of your name and face
I have seen your shadow where I stand

The music is at once modern, organic, and other-worldly; songs are stirring sonic journeys. ... more
