Swords gnashing pour, Carcass-wine and lard, Upon the land, To feed the thralls, Of the Master, With a visceral hand, The brumal rope, Brings the hedge-march, Under His command, Skirmish dances, And battle throes, Tartan the leaves, Apples blessing-swole, Burst upon the dead, And annoint marching greaves, And even the spineless, Slaves of rot, Harken His grip, Enthralled to pepsis, Midst rivers of bile, Absent the whip, Glad to consume, And cleanse the way, Swallowing every drip,

Straw 02:06
Bound, In burlap, In twine, Straw, Sinew-braiding, Wooden bones, Wicked frame, Straw, Wrapped in, Countless reaped, To liberate, Straw, Limitations, Muscle golden, Spears of Autumn, Straw, Sickle high, Scythe higher, Harpe highest, Straw, In the hands, Rotting strong, Hacking too, Straw, Harvested, Harvesting, With gifted iron, Straw, Crows called, Formely warded, To the field, Straw, To the soil, A town, To the soil, A kingdom, To the soil, An empire, Connlach! Connlach! Connlach!
4.
Gilded and fallow hair wind-woven over the hill-scalp marks the way-wend of the last harvestman to the Bog of the Fallen, the cambered iron that burns in his hands must be quenched, The Sickle Of Nightswell Is Born
5.
Gnarl of the sallow crop wake, Spirals and be-circles the iron pillar, Haze of His incense's reek miasming, A dream from the Hill Spike, Sings in the fume choked air, Nightmare for the paltry summer-clung, Beware!
6.
Throne of reaking thorns baptised in salt-less tears, A mournful rain burdens the greenless hall, Self-carved and bright with a tallow-held flame, On shoulders of storm-rent branches and braided straw, The grin that twists to the rhythm of putryphaxion, Mocking the false eternities erected afore the harvest, The Pumpkin Of Woe Laughs Last of All
7.
Sloe-sweetening talons, Rending with frightening pervasion, Blood of the year concentrated, 'Midst the blades of the hedge, Flesh plump with pastures' lesions, Pounded with the bones of the eviscerated, In the frost-wine cellar, And in spite of dispersion, A thousand cups is but one venerated, A Graal at the end of the Graal, A wail in the echo of a wail, Victory atop a mound of tragedies, A Graal at the end of the Graal, A nail in the husk of a nail, Piercing through every year, A Graal at the end of the Graal, A trail beknotted in a trail, The End ever flowing from the End.

about

This is a demo that was written in 2020 (shortly after the material from the first demo) and then recorded between 2021 and 2022. These songs were originally meant to be part of an early draft of the first Graal full-length but due to changes in the original drummer's living situation and employment, the drum sessions for the remaining material could not be completed. As a result this material was set aside when Graal allied with its new drummer J.B. and the writing and recording of Ocularchy then took place. The time has now come for these Saturnian hymns to be introduced to the underground and in a fashion befitting the spirit in which they were recorded and conceived.

The cassette edition of this demo will also include the entirety of the first Graal demo, 'Revelations Of The Graal'. Only 17 copies will ever be made and this material will not be re-released.
