Pig's Ravine
04:40

Taken from everyone you love and thrown into the fire
But not before very long, you gotta feel
Beautiful suffering
Sometimes she screams like a dove
They wouldn't take anyone
'Cause it's better to sleep in view
When all they fell on me
Fell on in a desperate play
The touch of me
Bleeds on in a pig's ravine
How am I supposed to love
when everyone around me else is hollow?
The face of lies with open sides
that speaks to me in broken lies to follow the path we laid
When the sun came 'round, the men fell down
They laughed along the way
In a flaccid cough before roaming off
They asked a gentle saying
Did you sow my love?
Sow my love away
Taken aback to front at last and thrown into the fire
But not before very long, you gotta feel
Beautiful suffering
Sometimes she screams like a dove
They wouldn't take anyone
'Cause it's better to sleep in view
When all they fell on me
Fell on the sun
Bleeds on

Ambrosia

The fated fall that proves how all these things have to happen now
By which it means the path deceived our faith into action
Right here to reform
Already from before
The fresh skin on my face
Teenage blood inside my veins
Supports the checkered stage
In the fangs
at the eye of the snake
Right here to reform
Already where I was before
The shadow of the night
It cowers to the light
It makes a silent vow
And breaks another hour
Right here
The ever still that shows until these things yet to happen
Not unlike it did when it summoned our faith into action
Right here to reform
Exactly from before
Right here to reform
Exactly from before
Right here to reform
I know I was before
The fresh skin on my face
Teenage blood inside my veins
Supports the checkered stage
In the fangs
at the eye of the snake
Right here to reform
Already where I was before

Wood Eye

It's the last call to make
The water falls away
It's the light against the day
The last call to make a leg
It's the day nobody died
A light shot out your eye
And brought us back to life
The day nobody died
Would I?
Loss of limb
Loss of life
In an esoteric way
Another time I lived too long
We'll leave the past later today
Loss to find
Loss to know
Empty fate and fall away
Another time I'd fall in love
at least the past looks on today
Lots of limbs
Lots of lives
I'm in an esoteric way
I need to find another leg
It's the last call to make
The water falls away
It's the light against the day
The last call to make a leg

Sweet Savor
03:27
|

|
As above the island gutter
So below the aqueduct
There's a mound of black dirt
Where they dump the dogs they murder
Passing through the fire
Unto our sweet savor
Another fate decided
Given to thy favor
Left upon the church's gutter
Spread-eagled between the pews
Diamond of her body
Where they crossed her tiny feet
Now you know the method
You can't hope to pretend
Never heard about them
Till it's known in heaven

Why Say I Say
05:12

Give it up and give it down
Give in unto me
I'm feeling like before I die
I'll have no mouth to feed
This is not going how
You always wished it would
I cut you once it marks you twice
For the objective good
Has to be an angel who
Has to be a devil to you
Give it up unto the hour
And lay it down on me
We'll give a space to sing and whine
Our dirty mouths to feed
Has to be an angel who
Has to be a devil to you
Why say there's a need?
Even though we can do it how
I say there's a need
Even if we could do it all
Why say there's a need?
Even though we can do it how
I say there's a need
Even if we could do it all at all
Give it up, no, give it down
Give in unto me
I'm feeling like I'm falling high
The better eye to see
Nothing lasts and nothing dies
Sell your soul for free
Split the house before I sign
A dirty withered being
Has to be an angel who
Has to be a devil to you
Why say there's a need?
Even though we can do it how
I say there's a need
Even if we could do it all
Why say there's a need?
Even though we can do it how
I say there's a need
Even if we could do it all at all

Earth-Fire
06:21

From out the earth into the sky
there stands a fire that was described
as many things in broken shapes of what it was
So many times this prophecy
had come to pass the very same
way that it had can't send it back
from whence it came
Insofar
as a fallen star
passed the sun and moon
in a beam of blue
spread the open palms
catch a heavy god
Near a line of fools
lining up in twos
As the water burns
from an awful wind
in the final fat
of the offring
Upon the day in but a quarter
of the time it took for Noah
to decide to sober up against the night
After the flood wholly inundated
the earth every animal it seemed
had disappeared as in a dream
Insofar
as the only eye
all the way back when
post-diluvian
in millenia
of the fallen star
was the only eye
saw the holy fire
that inspired Hell
when the continent
like a turtle shell
chose to rise again
Adam and
his daughter eve
will walk us through
calamity
And others who
have walked with us
hold tight our sleeve
calamity
Therefore will we not fear what we do
Though the flood waters thereof roar too
Therefore will we not fear soon
Though the earth be gone I say it’s true
It’s true
I’m you

House of Rats
05:49
|

Nothing to see
Nor to know about
No one but me
Fleece on the fold
They all came here
from the House of Decay
Let them have some
Sweet for bitter
Rats in a king
Skirt the small flame
Poised and cowered
To feed and be loved
Cleanse the house now
We can open the door
Let it out now
So I can be
Make the house stand
With one sword to repay
Let me come down
So I can be shown
Where did the rats go now they know I do?
No one to fear
None whose left to be known
Now that I'm here
You seem so alone
Don't go in there
Don't step into the light
They don't love you
They feed on us whole
Three frogs to wit
Hopping mad as hell
Mark the red shield
To steal and absolve
Cleanse the house now
We can open the door
Let it out now
So I can be
Make the house stand
With one sword to repay
Let me come down
So I can be shown
Where did the rats go now they know?
Hats to the fallen now they know I do

Shining Upright Creature

Shining upright creature
Tell me lies and pretty fables
Go on your belly
And suck the dust from up the wind
As much as you are able
To find a new house within
Blackened spirit
Yes, I hear it
Passing through the fire
We set you a plate
So bruise the fruit
And kick the branches
Heel wounds are not fatal
Don't tread on her seed
Be sure
Tell me the story I heard before the word
Always tell them “No” before
We take off our new clothes for good
Shine, you creature
Let me teach ya
How to sound the trumpets
Behold a pale angel
Suck the dust from up the wind
As much as you are able
To find a new house within
Tell me the story I heard before the sin
Send for you
To fend the eyes
The light of you
Reflects the skies
Past the near-sun halo, a surface
Perpendicular to our sun
Light at max diffusion, leaky firmament

Bleed Me a River
05:28

Day after dark
I found I'd been circled
Is it Earth's secret mark?
We can never be hurt by
Yet it's always been shown
The blood runs a river
As it cried out below
At least we were able to fall
Keep asking for it just like before we started to upset the river
We're stepping out here just like before we happened to upset the river
Put the blood down easy boy
We started off without two friends to rub together a third
Put the blood down easy boy
They'll give it back and we can grow ourselves another oh
First of the line
They climb up the trees
Then the other ones died
In shade of the season
By the curse of their blood
A new piece of rubber
Take our rule of the world
We’ll sit like effendi till the
Day after dark
I found I'd been circled
Is it Earth's secret mark?
We can never be hurt by
Yes it's always been shown
The blood runs a river
As it cried out below
At least we were able to fall
Keep asking for it just ask me nice I’ve started to upset the river
We're stepping out here just like before we happened to upset the river
Put the blood down easy boy (Put the blood down easy boy)
We started off without two friends to call and rub together third
We started off without a force-field to bind together home
They'll give it back and we can grow ourselves another oh
And I’m scared to face the fall and walk the time when there's nothing gone
Though I failed, placed in time, against the day, now there’s nothing wrong
I don't care to walk the line when there's nothing gone

Los Doggies New Paltz, New York
Los Doggies was formed in the late '90s by the Stormo brothers while writing jingles for their answering machine.
Los Doggies recommends:
Endless awesome melodies interwoven perfectly. Every moment rules. The songs are performed twice—once in traditional prog-rock setting, and again in the blooping beauty of a Nintendo soundcard.
go to album
Guitarry nights. Zappa babies. A hardy helping of variety for folks who don't mind their metal lite and ticklish, their lyrics sparse and colorful, and for those who do: acquire this taste!
