about

the descent of Terry Heartout, now re-christened Holder Heartout, from a beacon of hope and redemption to the last survivors of mankind, so a Jim Jones Style cultist with pedophile leanings and control issues, to finally a satanic death cult of outright vampirism. An epic and creepy about the inevitable perversion of the spiritual impulse into the corruption of religion.  Edi Vache said something about “Wandering Husks” on facebook and I knew I had to use that phrase.
The voice of Mary ("woman") is read by my wife, Phyllis Irene Hawley.

lyrics

man: Do you see them? They are spread out below us in a green valley as my dream foretold.
woman: Lord, my Husband, good Lord Heartout, I said they would be gathered to you. I told you in the old days, in the wars, when you set aside your drums ...
man: When I forsook those shadowed devils who called themselves the shithead gang. You came to me, good lady my wife and blotted out the name Terry Heartout, and anointed by bosom with god's name he chose for me...
woman: Holder Heartout, the lord! You see now, you are the lord. There are the hundreds beneath you waiting. Our church shall unite mankind and more and more shall come together, and the Lord God shall return into our grasp the seed to make children with. The whole world anew.
man: the whole world anew.
woman: (coughs) go among them, let me rest here, for the cancer has stricken me with pains.
man: I shall go down to them and by their faith, I shall call upon our lord to bring you healing. And by this miracle shall we renew our world

This holder heartout wanderer's become some kind of holy man
His friends have been imprisoned by the law
He's filled with light and power and he throbs with holy spirit
A power all did recognize and saw.
Rise from the dead! Brothers!

Look at you! You at my church you have built! We are nigh close to one thousand strong since my beloved Mary passed from our fold. Our fields cry out the blessing that I the Lord have sent you. Do you not cheer as I walk to see your labors yield the bounties we all so dearly share? Have I not brought forth the spider lotus that brings sweet repose and dreams, and the silver root that fills you with the strength of the young and fearless? My wives stand before you in their youth, all gifts you have given your lord, but now I say unto ye my creatures, bring unto me the girl children as wives so that our world shall flower with the fullness of days none can remember. I take unto myself for wives all who are six years and older. Thus shall you keep this covenant with your lord!

This Terry Heartout holy man's become a megalomaniac
He's still demanding more and more and more
His followers are heedless as they foist him up a godling
His lust and passion rises to the fore
Stay as the dead, brothers! Stay as the dead, Brothers!

I can not speak to you again. For three years we have lived in winter, the last of mankind. the chill of death covers the earth and I despair at how horrible this endless night shall surely be. I am god, and yet I wither with illness and die. Come ye to me and open your veins, let me drink now of thy blood. This world over we saught each other, but now that you behold your god you know that I am God and I and the devil are one. I seeks some scripture to sharer as you among my children open your veins. I order my appointed apostles to open your veins. Seal the exists, cut their veins, cut them to death, brothers! cut them to death! There shall never be life upon this earth again, nor and angel as fair as my Mary, a god more glorious than eye. sacrifice yourselves and we shall rush forth to my heaven. cut them to death, brother.

This tear your heart out creature has become a wandering husk
His followers a wayward weary race
Like ghosts and robots shambling they cling to flesh that shivers
Too many years have torn lord terry's face
Cut him to death, brother!
