Primal Scream

W.I.P

3/4/23

.There's 3 verses in first section before chorus to build story but may work better musically with 2 (i.e. take Cauldron verse out since it repeats at end of song. Or rewrite as pre-chorus?)

Chorus is open, but probably something simple to let verses sink in, & about moon rising/climbing...

​

​​

There's a monster, there's a martyr, a serpent & a saint

The love of the Carpenter but there's nails & there is pain

​​​

Swirling contradictions, in some strange cosmic stew

I always thought I knew myself, but now

I haven't got a clue
​​​​

There's chaos in the cauldron and it's boiling up again

There'll either be a feast tonight, or (just) a helluva lot of pain

​

[Chorus possibility - slower, stretched out?]​

The moon is climbing high, now

The moon is climbing high..........(pause)......

Don't close your eyes   ///​​​
​​

So, what's gonna happen now, (that) the veil's been stripped away

Should I run, should I scream, should I be, kneeling down to pray

​

Somethings calling me closer, the flames are climbing higher

(But) You can see the light and still not know (just) who lit the fire
​

[Chorus]

The moon is climbing high, now

The moon is climbing high..... (pause)

Don't close your eyes   ///

​

Is it heaven, is it hell, is it up to me to choose

There's just the finest line sometimes, between a halo and a noose

​

Cause there's chaos in the cauldron, & its boiling up again

There'll either be a feast tonight, or just a whole lot of pain
