Hang those millstones ‘round their necks and drown them For these rapists came on to our children Would they covet the one born in Bethlehem If they too could always keep it hidden? (I do think so) Profane, corrupt, depraved, twisted feasts Get down on your knees To appease these beasts, posed as priests Return for more every Sunday Francis, will you shelter all your cronies Just like the ones who came before yourself? Desecraters of all which is holy And yet they dare lecture us on hell? (they want your fear) Do they repent under a death knell? (do they shed tears?) As much as I do not believe In some divine justice above I wish not one would find reprieve Or be absolved in the mercy of love What of the scarring, the wounds that will never heal? What of the sense of purity they sever? And What of the martyrs, the numb ones who’ll never feel? What of the cycle that repeats endlessly forever? Gabriel burns (no one watches over) Malice returns (the meek and distraught) The greatest cost (beneath grass and clover) Innocence lost (the cockroaches rot) Dye the church in black Burn it down

about

After releasing his debut full-length album, "Nihilus", back in May 2018, Spiralist now returns to release his first digital EP, "The Church Dyed Black EP".

"The Church Dyed Black EP" sees Spiralist branching out into new sonic territory on the EP's two tracks: the vitriolic and multi-phased title-track, and the experimental electronic remix of the artist's debut album title-track, "Nihilus", created by portuguese solo musician Ricardo Remédio (also a member of the Doom Metal band LÖBO).

The EP's title track is an a brash and unapologetic attack on the catholic church for its most recent sexual abuse crimes, such as the Pennsylvania scandal involving over 300 priests and 1,000 victims, and the high-profile case involving cardinal George Pell.
