Description: Started writing about 'the fall' - not sure that's what this song ended up being about - devilish me vs my pious dad makes a decent Lucifer/Jehovah parallel tho - plus all this s**t started in the family unit and grew out so returning makes sense.

lyrics

First pride
Then a fall
Descending is terrible
Sin in his dust
Becoming virtuous
Taking the yin and the yang
In divining the masterplan
Quite!
Ineffable

Father time
Winds, wynds
Ticks, tocks
And never stops
Sonny boy
He must follow
Or face banishment
Tomorrow
Mother's mercy
Made him meek
Used to bending
Like a reed
Fertile soil
For any seed
For any day or week
But father's grim rigidity
A pendulous consistency
A perilous conformity
When fac'd with enormity
A thankless task
Making amends
Ye ken that ye'll be damned again (x3)

First pride
Then a fall
Descending is terrible
Sin in his dust
Becoming virtuous
Taking the yin and the yang
In divining the masterplan
Thoroughly impenetrable!
