lyrics

The order of Bon Secours was sovereign
Their walls a whited sepulchre
Deprivation and misery, in that institution

The building, a vector of disease

Hidden at all costs, malnourished
Intentionally starved, or left untreated
Offender and progeny erased
Illegitimate, unmarked graves.

(They were inspected and categorised
Misgivings were expressed, nothing was done.)

Miserable emaciated child
Not thriving, wasted, wizened limbs
Delicate, distended, potbellied.
‘Various deformities’

(A great many thought it kinder
To strangle these children at birth)

Under a slab they found them
In a disused septic tank
Blessed, resealed and silenced
It was not the work of famine
It was the work of many hands

The order of Bon Secours was sovereign
Their walls a whitewashed tomb,
Bastards bought and sold, in that institution

Pledge Nothing But Flesh
by Scáth Na Déithe

supported by 6 fans who also own “Whited Sepulchre”

This is more blackened than the predecessor and shows the first impressive results of Scáth Na Dêithe on their way to their own style. A very dark and intense release. mourner

This thing goes beyond. Reminds me of Nasum but with more death in it. Especially the song Progeny has some great melodics to it. Argeodeema
