[Verse 1] Craig was taken at dusk by pigs in aprons of skin They tied his wrists with butcher twine and wheeled him into the den Mud on the floorboards iron in the air A grin on every snout like a prayer gone bad [Pre-Chorus] The old ones watched from the wall with lantern eyes and gums The kettle hissed his name while the pit grew numb [Chorus] Spit-cook Craig, consume the flesh turn him slow for the feast Spit-cook him, cooked for us let the void eat first Sear the manflesh crisp for the thankstaking day Spit-cook Craig, spit-cook Craig hear the piglets pray [Verse 2] The piglets fought in a ring for the eyes and soft organs Tiny jaws, greedy hands red-faced in the bargain One took the liver one took the tongue One licked his shadow till the shadow was gone [Pre-Chorus] Beneath the barnwood beams something large began to stir A thousand wet hoofsteps coming up through the earth [Chorus] The sweet aroma of human burning turn him slow for the feast Spit-cook Craig, spit-cook Craig let the void eat first Spit-cook Craig, spit-cook Craig for the thankstaking day Spit-cook Craig, spit-cook Craig hear the piglets pray [Bridge] Then Craig saw the mouth behind the world’s face A ring of rusted teeth in a feeding place He laughed once, then screamed when the stars looked down And the pigs bowed low to the thing underground [Final Chorus] Cook the lovely human meat turn him slow for the feast Spit-cook over red hot coals let the void eat first Spit-cook Craig, spit-cook Craig for the thankstaking day Spit-cook Craig, spit-cook Craig the dark has come to stay
