So you would have us crawl and sprawl supine? Instead of proud, dumb animal Stand and shine! With bodies built for guilt and pain Feel the breeze of dead bird spiral Taste the warming maggot rain! We are the dust that must gather Heralding blight We are the red lights through the Pines at night Burning in shadows preparing to fight For satyr and sodomite! The heat The box Blood and grease And feathers Pointy black feet To be eaten by earth And drunk by the air Without a fear And free of care! Some of us have eyes of white! Some of us have eyes of white! Yes! Some of us have eyes of white! They help us to find you Trembling in the night! And we will descend As waves of scorpion stings To feed on the hatred That pleasure brings

Do you recall a rooster black? Atop a crumbling smoke stack I spoke to him at length Not a day before today All chesty full of knowing glee He cast a cocky glare at me And me sang me songs of plague years And the last day He said "My child a light draws near And we have not much time I fear so I sing praise to morning star at the dawn of every morn". "And you and your kind still sleeping and blind Will have to wake before you find yourselves All burning and unborn". "You'll never finish taking and killing and raping And I do not expect you will do so". "But you're knee deep in waste And you're breeding in haste Your only gifts are stupidity and sorrow". "You philosophise with zeal To smash the spokes from the wheel That has proven much too hardy for humanity". "And time has to end And you with it my friend For there is purpose in Natures insanity". And today was tomorrows yesterday.

White Scar New Life Same Old Death I stood and watched you I stood and watched you As your pain It grew and grew It fell upon you Fell upon you White Scar New Life Same Old Death White Scar New Life Same Old Same Old Death You cried out to me "Stop the pain Stop the pain!" I simply grew harder At your cries I grew harder and harder Eyes closed Head lolled Mouth wide open I simply grew harder White Scar New Life Same Old Death

Road To Hel 04:40
Lift up your hearts They'll make easier targets Show me your hands Show me the sign Know that your god Is another one's Devil Keep your head bowed And shuffle down the line Now we stand in boneyards And caress the War Dogs You crawl through your failue And sit at our side But don't dumb us with your sadness Your meaningless questions There's no time for questions The answer's arrived And the road to Hel is paved with good intention The fantasy in form the reality in pain And the road to Hel is paved with good intention The soul feels the flesh and the flesh feels the chain So sit there In silence And don't divert your gaze from that sputtering space You will laugh and weep as indicated Your time here has been rearranged And you screw bars all over your windows And give thanks you don't live in a prison Take a look through the door at your burning world See the sun That it's risen and it's bitten And the road to Hel is paved with good intention With nothing to lose and less to be gained And the road to Hel is paved with good intention The soul feels the flesh and the flesh feels the chain You are given the choice of endless sleep Or eternity in your own company In exchange for love or gold In this finite fold of the earth and Her static reality With death's smiling head at the turnstile Your life will be measured in fears and wiles And I'll pity your ignorance not For I am no-one And the road to Hel is paved with good intention We begin at the end again and again And the road to Hel is paved with good intention The soul feels the flesh and the flesh feels the chain And the road to Hel is paved with good intention The soul feels the flesh and the flesh feels the chain Nothing ever finishes Nothing ever starts You live a day down here Then the soul departs Into an endless stream Of music and dreams Remember the fire Remember the screams? What makes us tick is what makes us sick.

about

ROOT is Beastianity's debut album.
Released on compact disc in 1999, ROOT began to slowly permeate the sub-underground of experimental music.
Recorded and mixed at Velvet Sound Sydney for the most part on 24 track tape by Adrian Grigorieff.
ROOT showcases the wide variety of sonic devotions the band observed.
Singles of note taken from ROOT are The Hatred That Pleasure Brings, which appeared on The Pact...Of The Gods compilation on European label Fremdheit in 2000.

ROOT was remastered to vinyl and 300 copies were released by DAIS Records (USA) in 2007.
