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
