The Confession

lyrics

They said they would test me by watery pool
where drowning proves innocent soul by their rules
Perhaps they might search for the devil-bride mark
with knives topped with crosses, with candles near dark

They sent in a priest to declare me as damned
so my blood would not stain them or poison their lands
Referred to a book blessed and sent by the pope
in the language of latin which none of them spoke

Try as they might I resisted through day and through night
Broken and done I finally give them what they want

The voice of the Goddess, she calls to me now
and comforts me silently without a sound
When put to the press I surrendered a name
I knew to be false but I lied just the same

Forsaking my honesty, pushed to the rim
of pain without death for imaginary sins
And as a reward for my desperate words
they promise to strangle me before I burn

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington

Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late 60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987.
