Mechanicunt from Pink Noise by Age of Endarkenment
A lot of the lyrics in my songs make reference to The Beast. The Beast takes on many identities as he does in real life: Among other things, he is Satan, he is desire, and he is the monstrous side of human urges. I’m not completely satisfied with the title of this song. I thought it was an interesting idea for a song title, but it really doesn’t have anything to do with the message of the song. Set was an Egyptian god. He served many purposes but my personal favorite role is as Lord of the Desert. I get homesick just thinking about him.

Lyrics
The beast with seven eyes:
A god unworthy of praise.
Lying under sheets of ash.
Spoken in languages of broken glass.
The beast takes a bride:
Shedding tears for abandoned stars.
Hollow machines stitched together,
Consumed by the violence we called love.
The beast has no eyes!
The beast returns from the night,
A seal is broken and blood is spilled.
Tearing skin reveals the dirt,
Mud and shit build the monster.
The beast sheds its flesh:
Ice and fire coexist,
Filth becomes chaos.
Soot and hair and god and darkness.
The beast has no mouth!
Prepare yourself for fire!
Brace your eyes for death!
Steady the hands for murder!
Holding still for the end!
The beast has no face!
Lord Set, prepare your dead!

So why the name change? Whore was a moniker that was autobiographical, but it was descriptive of a different me. So what's left for the old Whore? Bitter resentment toward the species. Loathing. A fascination with the way deities come and go throughout history. Now that the Enlightenment is over, a new age has arrive; an Age of Endarkenment.
