Inspired by "This Grand Carcass" by R. A. Lafferty, taken from World's Best Science Fiction: 1969.

lyrics

From the start of
This strange meeting
So many warnings reared their head
I should have known, I should have turned away

This grand carcass gave me life
Power fortune fame untold
I may not now understand
These many gifts they may unveil in time

Drain my life and take my youth
This knowledge makes me strong
What use have I for this weak form
To dark light I am drawn

My power grows with every day
My life force drawn from night
What use have I for this weak form
To dark light I am drawn

This grand carcass

And it grows and it grows
And my weakness is shown
And I wilt and I collapse
And my downfall is shown

(Solo: Ibach)

Power gained and power lost
I know now what I’ve done
I’ll seek a host to spread my will
Vengeance is my curse

This grand carcass
