Crippled Lucifer is an album by Burning Witch. Its complete title is Crippled Lucifer (Seven Psalms for Our Lord of Light).
It consists of three tracks taken from their Rift.Canyon.Dreams release ("Warning Signs", "Stillborn" and "History of Hell") and four tracks from their Towers... release ("Sacred Predictions", "Country Doctor", "Tower Place" and "Sea Hag").
It was first released on CD in 1998 on Southern Lord Records and Bad Acid Records. Bad Acid released the European digipack version of which only 2000 were made. Southern Lord handled the American release of which there were effectively three presses. The first pressing's cover was incorrectly printed so it was repressed. Then, it was pressed for a third time, this time with a different cover all together. In 1999, it was released on cassette by Mystic Production.
In 2008, Southern Lord reissued the album as a double-disc set, restoring the one missing track from Rift.Canyon.Dreams, and two tracks from splits that also got excluded from the single-disc version, as well as the original track order. This re-issue was renamed Crippled Lucifer (Ten Psalms for Our Lord of Light) due to the extra tracks.
Like a newborn child
Coming in from the cold
Take him in and wrap him up now
Then I will disappear to you
Say goodbye to your nice bed
[?]
No more are you free now
Dreaming
How long till you waste away
Ticking down the time we'll see
No more are you free now
I am right
As i stand right here forever, yeah
Never give up a fight
And I never forget no one
[?]
[?]
So long as though you find your thoughts your own
Never knowing what you will find
[?]...Youre on youre own
Dreaming
How long till I waste away
Ticking down the time we'll see
No more are you free now
No way
I won't wait nowhere
For no one, no
[?]
Outta my fucking mind
Crazy for you
But I will die all by myself
[?]
Dreamer
Waiting for the time to win her
Love
Long and cold is my time
(Indecipherable screams)
Over and under...[?]
(One more scream)
