Eschatological Blues is a song about the end of the world, or, at least, an image of it. It's about that morbid sort of curiosity one feels toward the apocalypse, a curiosity that sometimes becomes akin to a longing. Through the soft, dark tango of the verses we are led by a Cave-esque vocal, seeing for himself armageddon coming, painting it ironically, almost giddily, before finally breaking into the guttural, white-noise cry of let it burn, betraying the apathetic under-current of it all.
lyrics
They say the time of man is over
they say we've run our course
we're living on borrowed time
running from the sunset
cashing chips we don't got
and everything we ever stood for
has gone and turned to shit and dust
we'll see kings fall like pawns and towers crumble
tune in for the age of rust
the revolution will be televised!
mondays and friday nights at ten
4k HD bloodshed and terror
frightening the hearts of lesser men
We do not fear the coming darkness
we only wish to watch and learn
there's a certain dirty instinct
to lay back and let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
Kill everyone now
Condone first degree murder
Advocate cannibalism
Eat shit
A beast is rising from the ocean
they say to call it by its name
a silicone creature of latex and chrome
bringing sexy to the end of days
some call us pre-eschatologic
say we are panicking in vain
there's a beauty to destruction like Shiva in the dark
dancing the world away
we've exchanged currency for beauty
wearing tidal waves in gown
volcanic ashes draping over
aestheticizing eschaton
We do not fear the coming darkness
we only wish to watch and learn
there's a certain dirty instinct
to lay back and let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
Kill everyone now
Condone first degree murder
Advocate cannibalism
Eat shit
Good morning America, and welcome to this special emergency broadcast from your friends at DBDC News. My name is Apeshit Eattherich, and we have just received some really exciting breaking news: it seems the Earth, known also as the world, the small blue/green planet on which we live and thrive, is going to end. Yes, folks, it is Armageddon, and we here at the DBDC news team are gonna be with you through it all. Now, no one is entirely certain why the world is ending, or what exactly is going to happen in the coming hours, but there is absolute agreement from both sides of the political spectrum on one fact: we are all going to die. Expect ashes raining from the skies in the north east, rivers of blood running through the streets, and sinners waking from the dead to claw the skin off your bones. It's gonna be exciting, that much I can assure you. Now, I've taken to the streets to ask some of this nations good people what their thoughts are. I'm standing here with a young man, Lazarus. And Lazarus, the end of days, the day of reckoning and the coming of Armageddon - what do you think?
Let it burn, let it burn
let it burn, let it burn

SAINT LAZARUS is a four-piece project of hypnotizing post-punk, combining cabaret, heroin blues and beat poetry in a
smoldering chaos of circus and sound. Centered around the tale of the undying Lazarus, the group is a storytelling project brought to life through poetry and theatrics, with man's innermost darkness as their musical driving force....more
