about

This was a little project. I got some of my best musician friends in a room and I showed them the three chords to this song, 3 hours later it was recorded and in the can. Just a little homage to those jealous creatures I've encountered and how the jealousy bug will only ever eat at them til there's nothing left.

The use of Latin was always something I'd wanted to try, so much more poetic sounding than our sometimes harsh language.

Translations (for those who don't already know)

Salve me - Save me
Kyrie - Lord (Greek Latin)
Libera Me, Domine - Free me, Lord
Requiem - Rest/peace

lyrics

Your itching skin, a craving from within
A being posessed from eternal rest
Salve me, salve me a wretched cry, Kyrie.

Libera Me, Domine.

Emancipate, eject the hate
A vice few avoid, and nobody craves
Sick, sickly thrill, you protest
And it strengthens it still.

From the ashes to the soil
I will watch your soil recoil
Requiem, requiem from the green eyed.
