Shat Out Of Hell Lyrics
Eclipsing violent centuries
Like a dark scar over France
Enter the nascent Gilles de Rais
A warrior and a scholar
He fought for Joan of Arc
Before she met with martyrdom in flames
Far from faerytale
A deathshead on his sail
A light that would not fail
Beneath her spell
But the crucifix was veiled
When his decadence prevailed
In a drench of red regaled
He was shat out of Hell
Shat out of Hell
Frozen in inquiry
A passion for awe in an age of grief
His wealth and power led him on
To the tainted gates of Babylon
Born beneath the howling stars
In a shower of golden Lys
A wolf-cub with the world between his sabre teeth
Torn between extremes of faith
The pious and the priests
He fed the Devil children like he fed his mastiffs meat
Far from faerytale
The coffin and the nail
Descending to the pale
Under the spell
Of alchemists who failed
To clench the menstrual grail
In a drench of red regaled
He was shat out of Hell
Shat out of Hell
Grown so morbid without war
The wine corrupted, nightmares spored
His Lord's betrayal, played no more
He beat upon the Devil's door
Demanding pleasures to replace
Joan of Arc, her epic grace
Had set aflames his wolfheart with her truth
And when she died, his life of pride
Was lost to God and in his crimes
He turned to raising Satan with the proof
Soon nightly, unsightly
Offerings were made on a vulgar altar
And slowly, but surely
The darkness answered like a falling star
Far from faerytale
Insanity exhaled
A full-blown winter gale
Under it's spell
Innocents assailed
Were entered and impaled
In a drench of red regaled
He was shat out of Hell
Shat out of Hell
Perverse, seductive, cruel as sin
An egoist, he mourned
Both war and glory, schooled to win
Whatever bored imagination spawned
Like a dark scar over France
Enter the nascent Gilles de Rais
A warrior and a scholar
He fought for Joan of Arc
Before she met with martyrdom in flames
A deathshead on his sail
A light that would not fail
Beneath her spell
But the crucifix was veiled
When his decadence prevailed
In a drench of red regaled
He was shat out of Hell
A passion for awe in an age of grief
His wealth and power led him on
To the tainted gates of Babylon
In a shower of golden Lys
A wolf-cub with the world between his sabre teeth
Torn between extremes of faith
The pious and the priests
He fed the Devil children like he fed his mastiffs meat
The coffin and the nail
Descending to the pale
Under the spell
Of alchemists who failed
To clench the menstrual grail
In a drench of red regaled
He was shat out of Hell
The wine corrupted, nightmares spored
His Lord's betrayal, played no more
He beat upon the Devil's door
Joan of Arc, her epic grace
Had set aflames his wolfheart with her truth
And when she died, his life of pride
Was lost to God and in his crimes
He turned to raising Satan with the proof
Offerings were made on a vulgar altar
And slowly, but surely
The darkness answered like a falling star
Insanity exhaled
A full-blown winter gale
Under it's spell
Innocents assailed
Were entered and impaled
In a drench of red regaled
He was shat out of Hell
An egoist, he mourned
Both war and glory, schooled to win
Whatever bored imagination spawned

I didn't triple post on purpose. I only posted once, then my connection froze and hey presto, 3 comments
But the crucifix was veiled When his decadence prevailed
Sadly, it wasn't. Great image, gets trotted out in serious biogs sometimes, the Bishop of Nantes so disgusted by the evidence that he gets up & throws a cloth over the crucifix. Never happened, taken from a novel.
I think this album is about Gilles de Rais tranformation from puritanical to satanical.. heard it on one of dani's interview
