lyrics

Back in the eighteenth century
A dozen dissolute gentlemen
Devoted to debauchery
Formed a club of hellfire
Sir Francis Dashwood founded this
In the Medmenham Abbey
Upon what once was hallowed ground

Lubricious and decadent proclivities thrived there
Sanctimonious and salubrious tendencies died there
Lascivious and forbidden activities flourished
Lecherous and degenerate immoralities were nourished

In those halls all wanton lusts and greed were fulfilled

From the gentry they drew their members
And for their orgies, the finest maidens
In blasphemy they were united
Through impiety they lived unfettered

Wearied with the commonplace all desire ran rampant
Within that church their lust continued undampened

Hidden deep behind chapel walls
They engaged in acts of the most obscene sort
To insult the sacred principles of the Christian God

In emulation of Christ's disciples
Twelve men joined and formed the Superior Order
For their initiation they were rebaptized
And made to mock the faith and it's intent
And with sufficient gusto and wit
The Eucharist of Hell was celebrated by each and all

Plagued by constant line-up shifts/drop outs, personal strife, and overal neglect, this coven of the black sun trudges on. ... more
