| The recording of this one isn't quite ready, though it's well on its way. I wrote this song on the request of David Nickle as a comment on his novel, The 'Geisters, which involves a secret society devoted to enslaving poltergeists via the women with whom they are connected. It is a strange, horrifying, and rather, well, icky story with some squirm-inducing elements (in other words, it's horror). Dave asked me for a love song. The results are below. |

'Geisters (I Did It For Love) |
|
| Don’t misunderstand What I am wanting here. People call us a cult, Say we yearn for control, Exercise that control through fear. But everything that I’ve done, Everything that I want to do Is explained by the pure, Purifying emotions I always have felt for you. You say you had no choice? Well, you should rejoice. You have power beyond What I have ever seen. I worship that power Through your total subjection; There is no in between. If I left you alone, How could anyone call that praise? I enslave you because I respect you so much. I’m respecting you with my gaze. Despite what’s happening here, My motives are clear: I did it for love. I did it for you. It’s strange that you claim You didn’t want me to. In the end, this will be Win-win...well, mostly for me. But come on: you gotta agree, I did it for love. Okay, I’ll admit I aim to dominate You, for if you are mine, If your greatness is bent To my will, then I must be great. You should be very proud, For clearly, you have been sent To provide me the means To start on the path, The path to enlightenment. I am quite under your spell. You say it hurts you? Oh well. I did it for love. I did it for you. It’s strange that you claim You didn’t want me to. In the end, this will be Win-win...well, mostly for me. But come on: you gotta agree, I did it for love. [Bridge] You have made it clear That you are quite upset. You have bided your time, Taken bloody revenge, But I’m not discouraged yet. For the more you rebel, The more satisfied I will be When I finally break you. Believe me, I will. You are meant to belong to me. You had better give in. It’s clear you can’t win. Sure, evidence suggests That you have won this round. I’m surrounded by corpses, Lying twisted in pain In a wretched heap on the ground. It is sweet that you think That you have the power here. See, since you are mine, Your power’s mine too. I’m revelling in your fear. You should really have guessed You’re built to be possessed. I did it for love. I did it for you. It’s strange that you claim You didn’t want me to. In the end, this will be Win-win...well, mostly for me. But come on: you gotta agree, I did it for love. I did it for love. I did it for you. It’s strange that you claim You didn’t want me to. In the end, this will be Win-win...well, mostly for me. But come on: you gotta agree, I did it for love. I did it for love. I did it for love.
