lyrics
the barb
they twisted in the barb
stuck it to my gut
and made to pull it out
the barb of the harpoon
curves down away from you
designed to tear apart
your flesh, to spill the blood
I only was myself
stayed true and stood my ground
they ground me in the dirt
humiliated, burned
the barb of the harpoon
curves down away from you
gives no fighting chance
particularly cruel
I had no fighting chance
attacks sustained and planned
vulnerable and prone
my blood stuck down my clothes
the barb
they twisted in the barb
I stuck it to his gut
they got in
the barb of the harpoon
curves down away from you

lyrics by Donnelly
music by Plunkett/Donnelly/Kelly
Combines a lot of influences/styles/subgenres but in a way that totally makes sense in an unexpected way. The more folky/quiet parts have a lot of tension and direction which I think is a rare skill! Giles
Keeper is my burning witch substitute but Old Witch steals the show here. "Broken soil..." is a doom band playing a catchy "fast" song with ghoulish vocals which is a) fun b) amusingly irritating to other people entering the office. "Gallows" gives me goosebumps. tr_🇺🇦
