This page will be updated as close to weekly as my schedule permits, but being as it is that I’m in high school and the herding into said same evil institution starts soon, I make no guarantees. I will not make the song available for download, I’m just trying to expose people to the music. If you like it, support the band and buy the CD. I may make an exception for unreleased/compilation only songs.

The first week’s song of the week is God Called In Sick Today. My reasoning? It's on my list of the first three songs I’d play for someone who’d never heard AFI. Thanks to Lassy747 at the AFI board for giving me an idea as to where to start. The other two, if you're wondering, are Third Season (next week's song) and The Lost Souls.

Title: God Called in Sick Today
Album: Black Sails in the Sunset
Released: 1999
Track Number: 12

Lyrics:
Let’s admire the pattern forming.
Murderous filigree.
I’m caught in the twisting of the vine.
Go ascend with ivy, climbing.
Ignore and leave for me,
the headstone crumbling behind.

I can’t stand my laughter as she cries
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes

Let’s amend the classic story
Close it so beautifully
I’ll let animosity unwind
Steal away the darkened pages
Hidden so shamefully
Ill still feel the violence of the lines

I can’t stand my laughter as they cry.
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
And miles away, my mother cries
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence.
