God save the Insect King He sits under the throne His little legs legs buckle and break Cracked and over throne The crown on his precious head Withers and preciously breaks apart Baptized in this fetid pool on Reparation Day And torn apart, off guard on Saturnalia He croaks his song helplessly Mercy Sophia And my pathetic hands will smother him cold I one labelled by the death of youth the other, the weight of growing old All hail the Insect King Extinction of Imperial Hail, hail the Jeweled Crown The Godhead and mandible And torn apart, off guard on Saturnalia He croaks his song helplessly Mercy Sophia

REVEREND GLASSEYE - THE INSECT FABLE

This album is being released exclusively on Bandcamp. This is the long lost experiment that was recorded the Summer of 2008 in various locations across Austin Texas.

Decidedly heavier than previous Reverend Glasseye records, the Insect Fable is an emotional movement transcending the sadness of previous records into a state of frenzied rage. Where previous records were lush and orchestral, The Insect Fable is sparse, angry and primal, relying at times on the fierce percussive collaboration of Tim Maher and Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls).

These nine songs were created as collaboration between Adam Glasseye and Ryan Rooney during a period of extreme emotional exhaustion and loss. These songs are the product of a meditation of release and signify a complete change in Reverend Glasseye's creative process. With lyrics that are more brutal and personal and music that is more electric and terrifying. The Insect Fable stands as a lost gem from an eclectic and curious band.
