beginning= a call to the feast/ come join the king /savior
Hear ye hear ye
Step right up
A court jester/minstrel/ confidence - snake oil peddling person
Don’t ever go hungry again
Drum up poor with hate speech
Enter the halls of the king
Marvel at the riches
Things they want
Enter the dining hall
Its a pit
The king and his cronies are feasting
No seats at the table
Throw scraps to peasants
Poor turn on each other, start fighting over scraps
Monsters reveal themselves by
Puke throw eye holes of mask
Masks and facades erupts from the gorging
monsters laugh so hard that they puke
themes
Monsters going to a feast wearing masks.
Eat the weak
Eating human for eternal youth
Feast can mean feeding as in absorbing
Feeding like a succubus
Feasting of the flesh (ew!)
Eye wide shut
Monster on monster action
Feeding the frankenstein
Look into common representations of sexting monsters
Orange is the color of your energy with tiny, cabbage-smelling claws
Exploitation /cannibalization of the downtrodden
Eating the poor
The masks are to trick the poor
Faces are ill-fitting masks
Poor are invited to the feast, but end up becoming feast
Poor tear each other apart over wealthy’s table scraps/end up in feeding frenzy cannibalizing each other
His fur covered claws groped at the sagging gnarled breast of the crone
Poor and tired and mad and dazed and starved and wretched and lost and stuck
lyrics
THE FEAST
00:00 A Winds of changing seasons swept in the old confidence man
Striding boldly to stake claim to a once forgotten land
00:20 B Slinging us the serpent cup
Spouting words like sweet elixir jangling pans of golden coffers
00:35 C Filling empty bellies up
with hate and fear and rage and bile and pride and scorn and spite and angst and dread and ire and sneers and flags and fires and hoods and brass
00:40 A Fatigue and toil blinded our red and bloodshot eyes
With hate and fear and rage and bile and scorn and pride
Hungry mouths began to sing the rally cry
01:00 B Deafening calls our ears burned to heed
Harkened to the siren’s call take comfort in my golden halls
01:13 C With drooling lips he cried give me
Your poor and tired and mad and dazed and starved and wretched and lost and stuck and weak and sick and mocked and pissed and low and dumb and screwed
-
01:19 D drunk on desire, We marched to the jubilee / through glittering galleries
01:31 E Our sateless frothing hunger set to gorging our cupidity / / on jewel-encrusted frippery
01:36 D The doors flung open, and before us a great banquet was set, but there were no seats left
01:49 E Kings and cronies gobbled up , without seats at the table for us
01:55 F while the jowls of the rich stretched and sagged obliging the spread their eyes rolled back into their heads, we stood unacknowledged
02:16 E e gawked with craving as frenzied hands shoveled to greasy mouths as their eyes rolled back into the headws
-
02:20 G transition - no lyrics
02:28 H bridge - , how cunning, how cruel
The empty promise of food
And realizing we have been fooled
02:48 I an eye was caught and in disgust
A meager scrap was tossed
02:56 J heavy ravaging mad we lept for a sliver
Trampling and piling upon one another
03:14 K
Nails clawed into muscles
As teeth tore pthrough flesh
03:27 L climax clutching his sides, slapping his thighs
the con man sneered, bon appetit!
03:41 K And so we fed on each other,
Only to be gobbled up by the beasts
We were the feast!
