Kill Your Servants Quietly

by Old Man Wizard

Sleeping Villager A warm and unexpectedly layered album. The blend of 70's prog, occult, and pop rock is subtle and comforting in a way that contrasts cleverly with the lyrical content. Simultanously triumphant and somber, "Kill Your Servants Quitely" is one of those albums seemingly constructed to reward repeat listens. Good stuff! Favorite track: I Wanna Know.

Steve Rodger FDJ nailed it... Favorite track: Soldier's Winter.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Old Man Wizard bringing more of their unique grooves to the table, if your not familiar with the band then imagine a stoner rock Beach Boys.

Pumpkin Thierry So sweet and clever heavy prog album ! This is their last and ultimate long play, but fortunately not the end of the band. Favorite track: Kill Your Servants.

I Prayed 05:58
I prayed for hope and life unchanged And God seems quite deranged But that doesn’t matter I prayed for happiness and health But God seeks endless wealth And that doesn’t matter Pray that all the world starts to understand Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear It disappears when I pray For blessings heaven-sent But God is not your friend And that’s all that matters I prayed for love and world peace But war defends beliefs In things that don’t matter Pray that all the world starts to understand Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear It disappears when I pray Pray that all the world starts to understand Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear It disappears Maybe it’s the world, that’s what the prophets said Maybe it’s just me, it’s all inside my head And then maybe it’s you, doing what they told you to! Did you pray!? I prayed, too.

You have the audacity to show your face When it’s clear you aim to end the human race All you pious hypocrites, brandishing the cross Your followers accept your gain is at their cost Your attempt to ostracize is their excuse to terrorize Your love of God is a narcissistic fraud The church controls society if you kill your servants quietly Populate the graveyard with the ones you’ve blessed And make sure that the corpses wear their Sunday best Your attempt to ostracize is their excuse to terrorize Your love of God is a narcissistic fraud Your church controls society if you kill your servants quietly Generations toil but your work is not complete The future that they’re rushing towards is looking bleak Your attempt to ostracize is their excuse to terrorize Your love of God is a narcissistic fraud Your church controls society if you kill your servants quietly

God is your friend He will defend Feel his warm breath Unfaith is death God gives you life Grant him his tithe God is your friend He will defend Gather, conspire! Desire for everything! Higher than anything at all God only knows Sell him your soul God is your friend He will defend Give in to guilt Feel your heart wilt Gather, conspire! Desire for everything! Higher than anything at all! Father, please save me! Enslave me and punish me! Until you’re done with me Then I’ll come back for more Gather, conspire! Desire for everything! We’ll follow anything at all…

I Wanna Know 03:08
Tell me what you Tell me what you do at night Tell me what you think I think of you Aren’t you afraid Why aren’t you afraid of me Why aren’t you afraid I’ll find out what you do I’m watching you When you look at yourself Do you see someone else Representing you Telling you what you do When you look at death’s face Hope you appreciate The punishment that you face Knowing that God is fake How do you look How do you look at yourself How do you look at yourself in the mirror every day I wanna know I wanna know what you believe I wanna know how often you cry yourself to sleep You count on sheep When you look at yourself Do you see someone else Representing you Telling you what you do When you look at death’s face Hope you appreciate The punishment that you face Knowing that God is fake Every time you say His name You should be ashamed You’re not someone else You’re responsible for yourself And when you say those words And tell them what you heard That wasn’t someone else That’s something you decided to say yourself

Your Life 04:44
I took the long road home to let my mind unravel A voice inside my head spoke to me as I travelled “I don’t see your life as a problem, I don’t think it matters either way Life goes on, with or without you Make the best of whatever remains to be seen” I saw a light appear somewhere off in the distance It was faintly glimmering and yet again I listened “I don’t see your life as a problem, I don’t think you matter anyway Life goes on, with or without you Make the best of whatever remains to be seen” “I don’t see your life as a problem, I just think we’re better off this way Life goes on, with or without you Make the best of whatever remains to be seen”

Today 04:58
Today A smile on your face Gone without a trace Hopelessly erased Today I feel like I know me I feel like I can see Any day can be today One day everything will be okay One night everything will be alright ‘Til then, everything feels like falling Hold on… (just hold on) Today Today Eyes well up with tears Time to face my fears After hiding years and years Today Happiness returns Tell me what you’ve yearned for Tell me when you’ve learned more Tell me when I’ve earned your love today One day everything will be okay One night everything will be alright ‘Til then, everything feels like falling Hold on… (just hold on) Today A smile on your face A smile on your face A smile on your face A smile on your face

Inching north in caravans plagued by cries of pain Can’t see very far ahead through icy sheets of rain Blood and guts from cold deep cuts, splashed across the snow Too cold and too tired to desert this undertow Hollow, false hope Forced march through this frozen hell, plagued by profound sadness Each step brings us closer still to certain death or madness Hollow, false hope Fading slowly March on splinters Worse than dying Soldier’s winter We're all alone Fading slowly March on splinters Worse than dying Soldier’s winter We're all alone Alone

Parasite 02:54
Hold your tongue I can’t hear myself think Speak for yourself I can’t hear your dreams Go away We don’t need your bullshit Nobody cares It’s so plain to see Parasite Filthy Parasite Live your life Filthy Parasite Nepotist You only care for your kind Your Vanity It isn’t all about you Shut your mouth Let somebody else speak Just Fade away Unless you’re spoken to Parasite Filthy Parasite Live your life Filthy parasite Narcissist Ignorant Selfish mess Parasite Hold your tongue I can’t hear myself think Speak for yourself I can’t hear your dreams Go away We don’t need your bullshit Nobody cares It’s so plain to see Parasite Filthy parasite Live your life Filthy parasite Narcissist Ignorant Selfish mess Parasite

Falling Star 06:12
Falling star! Comes from the sky to where we are! Just close your eyes and fall in love! Let yourself go, come to me… Signs on the breeze The trees and the birds Tell the story of the falling star Pass without trace The woodlands erased In the light of the falling star Climb the mountain, cross the stream Travel light to lift your soul For mine exists in a dream Skies turn to red My head readjusts Knowing everything that must be done Falling star! Comes from the sky to where we are! Just close your eyes and fall in love! Let yourself go, come to me… Sing me a song As long as you please Winding words, winding notes Passing comet melodies Climb the mountain, cross the stream Travel light to lift your soul For mine exists in a dream Falling star! Comes from the sky to where we are! Just close your eyes and fall in love! Let yourself go, come to me…

Live Forever 03:12
I thought I’d live forever In a vale of dying stars But I missed out on who you are And a promise sometimes fades And stars die every day I thought I’d meet you one day In a field, in wind and rain But I noticed something is not the same And a promise always dies And stars have finite lives And I missed out on the whole world according to you! But that’s okay; I’m not ashamed to be myself! I thought I’d live forever But a star must also die And I missed out on all my life
