This will be on our new LP, whose production has been rudely interrupted by a global pandemic.
Thankfully, we have concentrated acid for blood, and are thus unaffected by pathogens.
lyrics
Drew a line in the sand,
Traced the stars with your hand,
Filled your holsters with patience;
Kissed your atoms goodbye,
Though decayed,
I remember the look on your face;
Every single kind
of intubation and copayment
Went right up the Dark Side of the Moon
Child of Scorpius,
Rise through the fires of night,
The stars will fall down;
Papa went down to the well,
Undertaker, you'll have to dig deep,
All the way down to the well.
Shovel the weight of the world for six feet,
All the way down to the well,
I'll keep on riding this black limousine,
All the way down to the well;
Acolyte of Pythagoras,
Deep in his bones, knew what was true,
Yet, surrounded by fools, who would hound him,
Suffered mockery, despite his proofs,
Born a pagan, he triangulated the stars,
Driven by rage;
Priest of Sagan, mistaken for satan,
By confederates, traitors, and snakes;
Papa went down to the well,
Undertaker, you'll have to dig deep,
All the way down to the well.
Shovel the weight of the world for six feet,
All the way down to the well,
I'll keep on riding this black limousine,
All the way down;
Scorpius rise, through fires of night,
Tear down the stars, burn up the sky;
Papa went down to the well,
Undertaker, you'll have to dig deep,
All the way down to the well.
Shovel the weight of the world for six feet,
All the way down to the well,
I'll keep on riding this black limousine,
All the way down,
Wait for the flood, the well has been dug,
Carry the fire that's left in your blood,
Papa went down to the well.

The video for "Theurgist," from True Widow's forthcoming "Avvolgere," is as prismatic & hypnotic as the song it accompanies. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 15, 2016
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
