This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Who knew acoustic instruments could sound so violent and nasty? Two of the songs (Diana, Song to Comus) are about luring a young girl in the woods to rape. Here is a lyric:
"Hymen hunter, hands of steel, crack you open and your red flesh peel
Pain procurer, eyes of fire, pierce your womb and push still higher
Comus rape, Comus break, sweet young virgin's virtue take
Naked flesh, flowing hair, her terror screams they cut the air"
It's like folk music on an acid trip from hell. Love it.
