The Poet Of The Pit (EP): Intermezzo: The Ritual Begins / Coda: Hate Knows My Name by Johnny Of The Alucards published on 2021-01-12T22:58:48Z Another EP! Another great "heavier-than-heavy" stonery tune (completely composed and mostly recorded by Herra H. Hereetikko) accompanied with thematically unified intermezzo and coda (mostly done by John(ny)). Kudos also to JG, JAV and Søren Komfortsen. Without the gathering of these energies all of our songs would be less... Even though at best they're pretty worthless anyway... And to be more intricate about the seemingly superficial lyrics... All "exhales" on all the music (one concept, two songs, three parts) have stoned-out yet highly occult undertones that surfaced in the process (in a non pleasant, very consuming way I can assure you)... "I have always known that the happiness looks back with hatred in the mirror. The mirror never reflects a perfect imitation. Never. You are less without the reflection yet more than it. So live for your lusts! They are You!" May the light of Lucifer guide you all! - John(ny) Bongham INTERMEZZO: The Ritual Begins / CODA: Hate Knows My Name ------------------------------------------------- (And I sang for you) Don’t pray for me Don’t pray for me Don’t do it to me! Don’t pray for me Don’t play for me All for thee For others sake For others sake Not for me (And I sang for the lovers) For love’s sake forever break and burn me (And I sang for the world) Don’t keep me filled (with wonder) Don’t make me plea to be free of this pain Of this hate (And I sang for the past) Hate knows my name Raging untamed Seeking for my (he)art so we could never part And I want it I need it I’ve earned it! (And I sing for the present) Hate knew my name With a perfect aim found a place in my heart Now we can never part! (And I sing for the future) My fuel for this art will tear me apart And I’ll be gone (And I’ve begun) John(ny) Bongham - Vocals, guitars, bass, synth, tambourine Herra H.
