UNRELEASED BITTERNESS
1. The bitterness and the bereavement (rehearsal) 7:49
The Bitterness And the Bereavement Adorn magnificent costume For I come to judge the world Be with me here in my dark place Let yours be mine Cut me and I do not bleed Heat is my body The poor and simple fools Equal under my presence Lift up your head Blessed in the womb that bare thee Feed us with knowledge Release us from atrocities And shades of sinister figures Bare witness to this orgy of glory Groping at my naked privacy Unleashing pure bitterness And I did bleed over them Hindered by savage plague Offspring wasting away Christ where is your mercy? Do listen to me pray? Cast upon us a pitying eye The baptism os such as is, Of riper years Am I blind? Who are you? He died that you might live And lived only to cleanse you From sin's polluting stain If I had the chance to cut you Believe me you would bleed And the rest... Lyrics in plain text format	Artwork Info A totally rare and never before heard version of this epic master piece, comprising of an overall different and punishingly doom laden song structure. Dropped in favour of their vastly superior version on the bands debut LP/CD. This version was taken from a relatively rare and unheard rehearsal tape dated 27-4-91. Unbridled voyage 86 Ramsden RD, Hexthorpe, Doncaster, S-Yorkshire, DN4-0BN, U.K. Review A flexi-disc containing one song, that differs slightly from the version of their debut cd. The sound quality is a lot worse, and lately this song has also appeared on the My Dying Bride collector 'Meisterwerk I'... so yes, this is only for the collector freaks... Rating: 7.5 out of 10
