"Let Us Prey"
Written by Port Sulphur Band
Publication December 10, 1896
The garden of the witch
The judgement of the fool
Footsteps on the path
Someone's following you
You won't get out alive
And I won't get out unchanged
Let us prey
Am I being punished
Or am I being blessed
The six of swords, the empress
If the vow has been renewed
Death will find you
The orchard of the hanged man
Province of the fool
Pauper and the raven
Hunter and the jewel
And I may be undone
But you will be removed
Am I being punished
Or am I being blessed
The six of swords, the empress
If the vow has been renewed
Death will find you
The butcher and the statesman
Priest prepares the tomb
Temperance is a weakness
When shadows are in bloom
And you will not remember
But I will know the truth
Am I being punished
Or am I being blessed
The six of swords, the empress
If the vow has been renewed
Death will find you
Soil our anchor's bay
Roots the forest's veins
Ruthless retribution
Lived to die another day
Let us prey
