    A 7" lathe-cut record with the single version of Golgotha on side A, and the demo of Golgotha on side B. The demo will not be released digitally. Hand numbered edition of 13. These are in progress so the image is a mock-up of what it will look like. This is a pre-order and will ship when I receive them in April. I'm limiting orders to one per person since there are so few of these, additional orders will be refunded. Thanks for understanding.

lyrics

I've got a gun, I've got a picture of God
I feel numb like I've been hung on the cross, but I've not
I'm just lost in the woods, in the dark, and I'm not coming home
when the sun comes up it turns me to stone
I've got a crown of flies and bones
I've got a pack of black dogs that won't leave me alone
I had your cold, dead voice on the telephone
now when I try to call, I get these ugly tones

Now I'm crawling 'round the cemetery calling your name
I carved it into my leg on a low holiday
sometimes the things we love live long until they're old and gray
sometimes the things we love turn blue and quickly slip away
so get ready for the Night, the stars are in the black cloud fog
and I can't see my hand before my eyes
if your ghost was on my side, you would stop my beating heart
like you were switching off the lights

When something in the gloom wants to communicate
tell me who am I to intervene
I've been palm to palm before the Black Flame so long now
I would give it all for just the thought of Sleep

I've got no skin left on my knees
I've got no breath left in my lungs to beg or to plead
but I see something through the storm reaching out to me
and when I get to it I think that I
will finally be at peace
