The Rope Puller. Group version released on Hangman records Via L-13.org
the rope puller
a howl in the distant pines
rises and fades
patterned foot prints in
the hallowed snow
the rope puller pulls
but whats he pulling for
to drag the world closer
to the killing floor
an ancient forest
‘neath a star-spangled sky
a movement in the tree line
in the shadow of nite
cold hands grip
but whats he gripping for
the world moves closer to
the killing floor
skulls and wolf
the rope puller pulls
but nothing emerges from the
dark wood intwined
a silent snow begins to fall
as foot falls eco
on the killing floor
giants from the mountains
wild men of the wood
the rope puller
taps turpentine and its good
a lite from a lamp
seen thru a crack in the door
shovel in hand
he’s clearing the killing floor
cold hands grip
the hemp rope go’s tight
something lives and breaths
in this holy nite
as the lite shined once
it will shine once more
the rope puller knelt
upon the killing floor
