The Dark Deceit Of Man

from Consort Of The Dying God by Goat Of Mendes

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Entitled "CONSORT OF THE DYING GOD", Goat Of Mendes present their first complete concept album with a playing time of nearly 70 minutes.
    Inspired by the annual Gypsy celebration for their saint Sara la Kali in Saintes Maries de la Mer, GOM have woven a fascinating story around ancient gypsy faith and legends, dark secrets of early Christianity and the very essence of being a Pagan.

    GOM have enriched their already unique style by integrating elements of hungarian and romanian folklore and haunting gypsy scales.
    Apart from this, the new record of course still features crunching, yet melodic twin guitar work, thunderous drumming, awesome leads and variable, charismatic vocals.

lyrics

The Dark Deceit of Man

Swept across the raging oceans
An ill-fated company
Found a refuge
In a country by the sea

And this vessel, a mere nutshell
Bore a much more fragile load
The very seed of whom
Who should become a man-made god

Yet his offspring was denied
The entourage forced to flee
As myths had to be retained
Of man’s superiority

A supposed superiority?

Refrain:
A loyal servant of the mother
Wrapped in shame
Black her skin
And Sara was her name

Protector of a precious heirloom
Never mentioned by a word
The clandestine
Daughter of the Lord

Black Sara praised be thy secret
Until the very end
As you stood alone against
The Dark Deceit of Man


A shamans child, a beloved mother
Fertility, love of each other
Were all denied and crucified
As a sacrifice of man

What once was revealed - denied and hidden
What once was truth is now forbidden
Lost what by nature was foregone
As the weak sex usurped the throne

What was once our mother’s throne

Kali guarded Magdalene
From the pursuit of man
To protect the sacred womb
From what the genitor became

A world of wealth and power
Was counterfeited from his seed
Womanhood was sacrificed
Upon an altar of man’s greed

We’re Children of the Black Madonna
Forever doomed to roam
For our secret there’s no place
In a world stained by Christendom

Eternally we’ll roam
