WOOL OVER OUR EYES | Cult of the Lamb Song!

LYRICS:

VERSE 1:
As I skip amongst the thickets
Well, just look at what I’ve found
An innocent wee critter
Sitting, shivering on the ground
Entrapped and gagged and bound
Upon a sacrificial mound
Such a miserable predicament
So, how’d you like the sound
Of a haven-cum-community
A vibrant congregation
Of waywards just like you
The fates aligned for me to save from
The depraved and heathen demons
And their vile abominations
Enslaving feeble minds
Into a life of prostration
Not like my operation
Not the slightest correlation
Why, we’ve dances, feasts and festivals
It’s like we’re on vacation
No time for contemplation
Would you like to come and take some
Salvation in exchange
For just some light indoctrination?

THE PACT IS SEALED

Welcome in, brethren!
Step down off the pentagram
Blessed be and bend the knee
And pledge to me forever and
Forget the need to question and
We’ll never need to reprimand
Lethargy is heresy
You’re very keen to lend a hand
There’s effigies to render
And a temple yet to build
We’ve many seeds to tend to
And there’s earth still left to till
And every second spare
You’d best remember to keep filled
In reverent prayer and penance
Lest dissenters will be KILL-
-ecting up the mess
Until they find their crimes regrettable
All evidence says heaven’s light’s
Not likely for the sceptical
The bedding’s of the finest moss
The lichen often edible
Now, don’t you think your life outside
Was tiresome and forgettable?

CHORUS 1:
Deep in the dark of the woods
Where secrets sleep
We serve he who waits beneath
Till the soul, devotion reap
For the lamb who herds the sheep
In the dark of the woods
We pledge our lives
Sages say that faith is blind
Arms raised high in sacrifice
Pull down wool over our eyes

VERSE 2:
Time for your donations
Fill the dish up, pass the gold plate
Every penny pays to kill
The Bishops of the Old Faith
Our benefactor waits
Betwixt the crippling links of old chains
Tethered to the plains
Until the heretics are all slain
So, pay the tithes and pray you might
Remain upon the list of all
The cherished, chosen children
For whom love is unconditional
Your contribution’s absolution
For the guilt within you all
Our movement may be new
But all your sins are still original
You’ll find my sermons stirring
Form the circle, get your heads down
Heavy hangs the neck
Of any vessel of the Red Crown
Blessed to be the shepherd
Of the desperate and oppressed now
Destined for ascension
Ne’er the wealthy ever left ground
So, empty out your bank accounts
And dance around the fire
And focus your devotion
Through the crackling of the pyre
So potent and ambrosial
It flows through blackened spires
To satiate our patron
And their rancorous desires

CLAUNECK:
The game is barely set
Yet e’er within the deck you’ve dwelt
We’ve never met and yet
We meet again upon my pelts
The cards we want are often drawn
But seldom ever dealt
But, chance the hand you’re given
Mayhap lift you where you fell
Tell me, little lamb
Do you see destiny immutable?
Does fate or dedication
Keep you bended knee and dutiful?
Feign predestination?
Or is zealotry the truth of all
The paths you never take and never leave
Yet in the future walk?
Saviour or enslaver?
Oh, these labels are but shallow things
You brave the twisting mists
Betwixt the hallowed and the harrowing
And pray that they may shift
Amidst the rhapsody of Haro’s wings
So, just embrace the chaos
And the clarity the tarot brings

CHORUS 2:
Deep in the dark of the woods
Where secrets sleep
We serve he who waits beneath
Till the soul, devotion reap
For the lamb who herds the sheep
In the dark of the woods
We pledge our lives
Sages say that faith is blind
Arms raised high in sacrifice
Pull down wool over our eyes

VERSE 3:

The time has come, enlightened ones
The hour is at hand
Or do you doubt the crown?
The righteous power it commands?
We swear to scriptures devilish
Devout or ever-damned
Till fetid grip of heretics
Is scoured from the land
Who today can truly say
Their faith has never faltered?
Whose neck, so trained to pray
Would never strain against the halter?
These reins that pave the way
Towards our patron’s radiant reign
And so, which waif ordained by grace
Shall fate see slain upon the altar?
For what have we to give
Once coin and toil have been expended?
For naught have we to live
If plots of soil to be lamented
Are the unascended end
To whence our mortal coil has wended
The rested dead are spoiled
Not with the spoils we are intended
But flesh, bequeathed freely,
grants a life a higher purpose
In death, a deeper meaning,
everlasting pious service
Sowing seeds precedes a reaping
Start a line, now who’s the first?
You all decided to convert
So tell me, why’re you so nervous?
For your fervour has been fated now
To satiate the beast
In chains he waits beneath
And how he craves to be released
We celebrate in blessed flame
So, pray and take a seat
And pledge unto their name
Lest you be plated at the feast
Let your faith remain unshaken
In our monastery’s beliefs
You’ve no claim to consecration
When there’s coffers to be greased
Stay praiseful to your deity
Their prophecy and priest
For the sheep may be the shepherd
But the flock is being fleeced

CHORUS 3:
Deep in the dark of the woods
Where secrets sleep
We serve he who waits beneath
Give the flesh, ascension seek
From the lamb who herds the sheep
In the dark of the woods
We pledge our lives
Sages say that faith is blind
Arms raised high in sacrifice
Pull down wool over our eyes

Who animated this? I keep seeing clips of it in other fan songs, and even in the sort of “page” where I buy the game, meaning the official Cult of the Lamb is using the art here? Am I mistaken?

HAVEN WHAT COMMUNITY

DUUUDE THE CLAUNECK VERSES ARE SO GOOD IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE HIM

This makes me want a TV show of the game more

Just found this channel... And just found out about this game... And i already love it both

Downloading the game took the same amount of time as this song. I see that this is destiny immutable.
Welp, time to go slay some heretics.

Love how the logo changes depending on the song.

No.

This is such a terrifyingly good song. Well done.

Makes me wonder if Stupendium will do a song for the... Update... when it comes out.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW This video was insanely well done, I definitely see why my friend recommended it to!

Yo new game is coming out

I absolutely love the mix between official animations, and your own

i loved the reference to ck9c

i wish we could give more thumbs up

omg this is so cooooooool fleeeece me baby

I'm sure some people have pointed this out, but I can't find them. If you listen closely, whenever the lamb is singing you can hear a mumbling along with it. I believe that it's showing how the Lamb isn't free, it's a vessel and is being influenced and controlled by the crown until you can push back at the end of the game. Nice little detail.

The new update is out. We need a S-x update sequel to this song.

You should have a collab with fabvl or pe$o Pete

Is it just me or does someone else see Ck9c (she makes music on Spotify)

“For the lamb who herds the sheep” is a underrated line in this

As a person who called out the bullshit of the discord server of the cult of the lamb this is acurate

this is...... AMAZING

This is the darkest song I've ever listened to, and I love it.

I also like how Stupendium made a reference to the confession booth, that's a nice touch

I love Stupendiums little critter at the beginning, it's so cute but i'm confused as to what it is

It's kinda scary how good Stupendium is at sounding like a cult leader

Just got this game for switch. This song is fire!

we are slaves to the great King corn. King corn is the causer of all evil. We can not stop him. The what? War is his doing.

I JUST REALIZED THAT THE BIRD OS STUPENDIUM!!!

Yo what's the whispers in the beginning 🤨🤨

the way i go absolutely feral when this song comes on

Apple bottom jeans boots with the fur

i like the ck9c and ivycomb references, hidden in plain sight. also a wonderful song. and damn im late to the fold for this one masterful work as usual from you guys.

It's scary how much of this song reminds me of my childhood as a catholic.

honestly I've never seen it like this. I've always tried to take care of my cult members, but yeah, we really are a terrible person no-matter what we really do. I've manipulated all of them into wanting to be sacrificed, and not realised that I am the bad guy. this is amazing

The pact is sealed.

this is what people think christianity is like

a cult i will gladly join, for the wool over our eyes!

This is the first song from stupendium that I have listened to alongside "a little theorising"

Absolutely. Speechless. This was just incredible IN EVERY WAY!

✨bluey vibes✨

My favorite song besides the one about game theory
